Ethereum Soars Amid ETF Approval Expectation Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has seen a significant uptick this week. As rumors of ETH spot ETFs being approved this Wednesday surged, the community\u2019s sentiment towards the asset turned extremely bullish. Previously, Bloomberg experts had asserted that chances of an ETF approval were slim due to the US government\u2019s crackdown on the industry. However, this week\u2019s U-turn from the Biden administration sparked a positive sentiment that increased the chances to 65-75%. As a result, Ethereum surged an impressive 30.4% from its price seven days ago. The King of altcoins went from trading just below the $3,000 mark to surpassing the $3,900 resistance level at the time of writing. The community’s optimistic expectations continue as several US lawmakers urge SEC\u00a0chair Gary Gensler to approve Ethereum ETFs. As reported by Eric Balchunas, a bipartisan group of House lawmakers sent a letter on Tuesday to the SEC\u2019s Chair asking for the approval of ETH ETFs \u201cand other digital assets.\u201d According to the letter, the Congress members believe digital asset-backed ETFs offer \u201cinvestors a regulated and transparent investment vehicle to gain exposure.\u201d The US lawmakers urged the Commission to \u201cmaintain a consistent and equitable approach when reviewing upcoming applications\u201d for other crypto ETFs. Are Price Targets Too Low? Ethereum has performed remarkablely over the past few days. ETH has surged 5.6% as the community awaits the SEC\u2019s decision. As pointed out by several market watchers, ETH\u2019s weekly candle is resting levels not seen since the first half of March. Crypto Yoddha highlighted Ethereum\u2019s historic behavior for the previous all-time high (ATH) runs. Per the chart, the second-largest crypto asset went through a 700-day accumulation phase before breaking out and starting the bullish run. Similarly, ETH seemingly ended a 700-day accumulation period this cycle, which could lead to a rally towards a new ATH, if history repeats. The analyst set a target of $15,300 for this cycle. Likewise, Crypto Jelle pointed out that ETH broke out of a multi-month falling wedge pattern. Its recent performance successfully reclaimed the key resistance above the $3,600 mark and is currently testing the $3,900 price range. The trader considers that, if this is the current performance before the approval of ETH ETFs, his $10,000 target for this cycle might be \u201ctoo low.\u201d \u00a0However, he urged investors to \u201ctry not to get sucked into overtrading.\u201d He considers the initial response to the decision \u201chard to know\u201d despite the bullish sentiment. Ultimately, Jelle suggests the community to \u201cfocus on what you know\u201d as the long-term outlook is much clearer.

The SEC\u2019s decision regarding ETH ETFs will be announced around 8:30 pm UTC on May 23.
