Ethereum price eyes $2,000 as spot ETH ETFs buck worrying trend

The Ethereum price bounced back this week as investors bought the dip, and the Fear and Greed Index exited the fear zone.

Ethereum (ETH) rose to $1,800, up 30% from its lowest level this year. The rebound, which coincided with that of other cryptocurrencies, pushed its market cap to almost $220 billion.

There are signs that crypto investors are embracing the fear of missing out, or FOMO. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index has jumped from the extreme fear zone 18 to the neutral point of $53 today. If the trend gains steam, it will enter the greed zone soon.

Further, Wall Street investors are becoming interested in Ethereum as it bucked a worrying trend. All spot ETH ETFs had net inflows of over $157 million, the best performance since February. They had net outflows in the last consecutive weeks, the longest losing streak since their approval.

Ethereum had other positive metrics this week. For example, DEX protocols in the network handled over $11.5 billion in volume, bringing the 30-day volume to $57 billion. The 24-hour volume rose to $1.7 billion, with Uniswap, Curve Finance, Fluid, and Maverick Protocol having the biggest market share.

Ethereum price may continue doing well in the coming days as investors target the psychological point at $2,000. The risk to this outlook is the perpetual futures funding rate has plunged, a sign that short sellers are paying a fee to buyers to maintain their trades.
