Fidelity Buys $154.6M in Ethereum as Analysts Predict Move Toward New Highs Despite Outflows

Morbi pretium leo et nisl aliquam mollis. Quisque arcu lorem, ultricies quis pellentesque nec, ullamcorper eu odio. Ethereum (ETH) is back in the spotlight after Fidelity clients purchased roughly 36,460 ETH ($154.6 million), signaling renewed institutional demand even as spot ETH ETFs logged heavy redemptions. Before stabilizing around $4,100, the second-largest cryptocurrency briefly dipped below $4,000 this week, but several analysts argue the pullback places ETH in a key "buy zone" ahead of a potential push toward new highs. Fidelity's reported buy spotlights a growing trend as traditional finance is steadily increasing exposure to Ethereum's smart-contract ecosystem, staking yields, and tokenization upside. The move contrasts with the latest ETF flow picture, where spot ETH products saw about $428 million in outflows in a single day, led by $310 million from BlackRock's fund. While redemptions weighed on price near term, primary-market creations like Fidelity's purchase can tighten available supply and stabilize spot liquidity. Macro jitters and tariff headlines helped trigger a sharp selloff, sending ETH down 6.5% on Oct. 14 and sparking $145 million in liquidations in 24 hours, per derivatives trackers. That forced unwinding pushed price through the $4,000 handle, but technicians note ETH is retesting prior resistance-turned-support and still carving a bullish flag structure on higher time frames. Popular trader Michael van de Poppe argues ETH likely just needs a higher low to reassert momentum, eyeing a recovery toward $5,000 first and then $6,250 if buyers reclaim control. Near term, bulls want to see an Ethereum price balance back above $4,000-$4,211, followed by a decisive break of the $5,000 psychological level to unlock the $6,250 target many chartists flag via tools like Murrey Math and measured-move projections. On the downside, traders are watching $3,626 as interim support; a daily close below $3,425 would dent the bullish structure and argue for deeper consolidation. Despite headline outflows, the Fidelity inflow highlights sticky institutional interest in Ethereum's role across DeFi, NFTs, and real-world asset tokenization, plus the structural tailwind from staking yields. If ETF redemptions cool and spot demand returns, ETH's recent dip could prove a buy-the-pullback setup on the path toward new cycle highs.
