ETH holds above $2,600 after spot ETF demand ignites bullish breakout
|Ether extended its rally Monday as institutional demand surged and exchange supply dropped to a multi-year low.
The asset climbed as high as $2,650.18 before easing to around $2,617, where it currently trades, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model.
Despite the minor retracement, ETH remains one of the best-performing major tokens this week, supported by $321 million in fresh inflows into ether-linked investment products. That’s the strongest weekly inflow figure since December, reflecting mounting investor confidence in ether's long-term value.
Analysts also highlight a drop in ETH held on centralized exchanges, which suggests a shift toward self-custody and accumulation.
