The market anticipates rallies that could push the price to $8,000-$10,000, although a breakout is not guaranteed.
Ethereum is experiencing an unprecedented liquidity shortage, with much of its supply out of circulation due to staking, ETFs, and inactive wallets.
On-chain researchers describe the situation as a “liquidity blackout.” The combination of staking, ETF accumulation, and long-term storage has simultaneously reduced the available supply, creating a scenario never seen before. Institutional demand could amplify this effect, triggering sharp price increases during demand surges.
Ethereum reserves on Binance have fallen to their lowest level since May. Investors are moving assets to private wallets or staking pools. Historically, this pattern has coincided with strong price rallies when scarcity meets market optimism. Ted Pillows projects that ETH could reach $8,000-$10,000 within the next year, driven by undervaluation.
However, some firms warn that scarcity does not guarantee sustained price gains. Ethereum has not yet established momentum above its previous peak, and some analysts consider that reduced liquidity and the “supply vacuum” do not ensure an immediate breakout.
