Ethereum Surges Past $4,000 Mark in 2025 Driven by US Policy Shift – cover image

On August 8, 2025, Ethereum (ETH) impressively broke the $4,000 barrier for the first time this year, hitting a daily high of $4,011. This milestone follows the recent US President Trump's executive order that authorizes cryptocurrency investments within 401K retirement plans, injecting fresh enthusiasm into the crypto markets.

Ethereum is currently spearheading the market rally, with other cryptocurrencies like Optimism (OP) and Aptos (APT) also gaining ground. However, the overall altcoin market displays a more mixed performance, with assets such as XRP and Stellar (XLM) facing selling pressures. This uneven momentum suggests cautious optimism among investors, especially regarding smaller coins.

From a technical standpoint, Ethereum's key support remains around $3,500, while the intermediate resistance near $4,000 was recently surpassed. The current pivot range lies between $3,700 and $3,750, indicating consolidation levels to watch for potential further upward movement.
