Ether (ETH) increased on Monday to USD 4349, and its highest price from December 2021, despite the elevation of a wider cryptocurrency market by over 30% in the last 30 days, data on derivative instruments show that ETH traders have not become definitely stubborn.

This raised doubts whether the rally to $ 5,000 is probably in the near future.

ETH gained 41% in the last month, compared to a 9% enhance in total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies. With such a mighty implementation, the demand for protection naturally increases when traders block profits and turn into other possibilities. Lack of appetite for additional plants stubborn above 4000 USD is not unexpected.

In neutral market conditions, monthly Futures contracts usually trade at 5% to 10% of the bonus in relation to point markets to balance the longer settlement period. However, despite six months of ups, this bonus remains below the clear stubborn threshold.

The company already has about 600,000 ETH in a balance sheet, worth over $ 2.55 billion at today’s levels.

The risk of economic recession is the biggest threat to USD 5000

Neutral readings of Ether derivative instruments seem encouraging, especially considering that traders did not foresee the Swift Rally from $ 3,400 to 4300 in just eight days.

The longer the ETH price remains above USD 4,000, the more likely there is a probability that traders will gain confidence and initiate stubborn positions, which can pave the road in the direction of 5000 USD.

Macroeconomic conditions and general risk appetite remain the main obstacles for further profits. Some investors are afraid that US import tariffs may consider global economic growth.
