Ethereum (ETH) 
$2,629 has demonstrated phenomenal growth this year after recuperating from significant losses at the year’s start. By mid-May, Ethereum showed remarkable advancement both in price and against the BTC pair, signifying its recovery. This intriguing turn of events has prompted experts to dive into the underlying factors and potential catalysts behind Ethereum’s resurgence.
Critical Factors Prompting Ethereum’s Comeback
Ethereum’s performance against the BTC pair has drawn considerable attention since early May. The ETH/BTC pair, which had plummeted nearly 32% since January 1, witnessed a remarkable 32% rebound between May 8 and 10. This reversal is critical as it comes from long-tested support levels, possibly heralding the onset of the altcoin season, according to anonymous analyst VirtualBacon.
Fibonacci levels on price charts further corroborate this perspective. The re-establishment of the S2/BTC pair at the 0.382 resistance level suggests an additional 60% upside potential. The analyst emphasizes that if the 0.5 level is surpassed, the ETH/BTC pair could test the 0.05 mark. Presently, poised at 0.02396, the pair could see swift upward movement through institutional buying.
Impact of ETF Approval and Institutional Demand
The most distinguishing factor setting Ethereum apart from other altcoins is its status as the only coin with a spot ETF approval. Institutional investors having access to Ethereum through ETFs substantially boosts long-term demand, thereby fortifying wallet numbers and exchange reserves.
Conversely, the Federal Reserve’s tight monetary policy is seen as the primary limiting factor for Ethereum’s performance. VirtualBacon suggests that if the Federal Reserve halts its quantitative tightening measures, Ethereum could embark on a fresh rally. In this scenario, Bitcoin 
$106,719 is expected to achieve the 200,000–250,000 dollar range, while Ethereum tests the 10,000–12,000 dollar levels.
With robust fundamentals, a vast ecosystem, and institutional backing, Ethereum is poised potentially to spearhead the altcoin season. The current rebound is perceived not merely as a short-term recovery but as a precursor to a long-term upward trend.
