Ethereum just decided to throw a party and invite itself ahead of Solana and XRP with a cheeky 12% sprint in four days. Meanwhile, Trump’s tariff juggling act has somehow made everyone risk-hungry—how’s that for irony? 🤡
That Underdog Ethereum Glow-Up No One Saw Coming (Except, Maybe, Everyone)
Ethereum smashed past $1,825 on April 25, its best flex in 50 days, proving once again that slow starters can sometimes win the race, or at least steal the spotlight from Solana and XRP.
Sure, ETH was the wallflower stuck below $1,600 for two weeks, looking like it had lost a bet. But while Bitcoin, XRP, and Solana were all out there breaking their dollhouse price ceilings—$90,000, $2.20, and $150, respectively—ETH was lowkey plotting a comeback.
Then Trump, like a plot twist in a bad Netflix drama, decided to chill on tariffs and throw some shade at the Fed for not cutting rates. Traders went from “nah, thanks” to “ETH? Yes, please!” faster than you can say “market mood swing.”
Ethereum’s price did a caffeine-fueled leap from $1,600 on April 22 to $1,825 by April 26. That’s a 12% gain—a sprint that would make even your gym instructor slightly jealous.
So now, Ethereum’s slick little rally means it’s outperformed Solana and XRP for the week, which only managed 5.3% and 6.9% gains, respectively. Take that, you layer-1 contenders. 🏆
91,000 ETH Staked—Because Everyone Loves To Put Their Crypto on Ice ❄️
If you thought all this buying was just casual, think again. The Ethereum 2.0 staking numbers are beeping like a machine at a sci-fi hospital. After Trump hinted tariff détente and played nice with Xi Jinping, staking deposits leveled up faster than a video game boss battle.
Beacon Chain stats: 34,055,790 ETH staked on April 22, then a steady climb to 34,146,222 ETH by April 26. That’s a tidy 90,432 ETH thrown into staking—roughly $164 million—which is basically crypto putting its money where its digital mouth is.
Why does staking make prices go up? Two words: scarcity and patience. Less ETH floating around to sell means a tighter market, and stakers locking their coins away for up to nine days means no instant sell-offs to ruin the party. It’s like freezing your snacks so you can’t eat them all at once—financial adulting, folks.
Will Ethereum Keep Dancing Past $1,950 or Trip on Its Own Feet?
Right now, ETH is hanging out just above $1,800 as bullish vibes fill the air. The Keltner Channel says ETH is bouncing off the lower edge at $1,511 and eyeing a fancy midline resistance at $1,928. Fancy moves for a crypto that was doing the limbo fortnight ago.
Volume Delta chimes in with a bullish 47,260 ETH gain in the latest session—its best two weeks performance. Meanwhile, RSI’s climbed from “please stop selling me” territory (31.74) to a more confident 39.58, like it’s had a double espresso and is ready to party.
The takeaway? If ETH can keep this momentum and close above $1,850, it might just shake hands with $1,950 next. But mess that up and hello $1,700—still not shabby, but definitely less glamorous.
Ethereum’s market mood is perking up, and if you’re a fan of drama with a side of green candles, you’re in for a treat this week. Or, you know, a nervous rollercoaster depending on how fast the mood swings back.
