Ethereum (ETH) has been outstanding this August to say the least, but according to pro-XRP lawyer John E. Deaton, the rally itself is not the real story — it’s the opportunities that he believes the market is offering right now.

Ethereum has maintained its bullish momentum, decisively breaking through key resistance zones and reclaiming the psychological $4K level. While some cooling-off is likely, the broader trend still favors further upside. By Shayan The Daily Chart After sweeping liquidity beneath the $3.5K region, ETH attracted strong buying interest, igniting a sharp rally. The upward move propelled the price above the $4K threshold, a level which is significant both psychologically and as a previous swing high on the daily chart.

Ethereum climbed past $4,300 on Saturday, reaching its highest level since late 2021, as investors responded to a weaker dollar, increased institutional interest, and a steady drawdown in exchange-held supply.

Ethereum last traded at $4,244, up more than 43% this month, and its highest since December 9, 2021, CoinGecko data shows.  Adding to the momentum,…
