Ethereum prices extended their gains on Tuesday, reaching a high of more than $2,400 at one point, as Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market soared on optimism over potential diplomatic progress in negotiations between the United States and Iran.
President Donald Trump’s comments about moving ahead with negotiations after a recent two-week cease-fire buoyed investor sentiment, pushing stocks and other risk assets higher while oil prices fell.
This confluence of geopolitical hopes and easing inflation concerns marks a pivotal moment for digital assets, with Bitcoin taking the lead by crossing a key psychological threshold.

Bitcoin rose from about $74,000 to over $76,000 and is up to about $75,500 at the time of writing. Goldman Sachs’ application for a Bitcoin ETF boosted sentiment.
Bitcoin and Ethereum’s gains were closely aligned with gains across U.S. stock benchmarks, which rebounded sharply after lower-than-expected U.S. producer price data eased inflation concerns. The report increased risk appetite and led to an influx into high-beta assets such as cryptocurrencies.
The positive momentum on Wall Street provides further tailwinds, and institutional investors appear to be pivoting to Bitcoin as it is seen as a hedge against the uncertainty of fiat currencies.
On the geopolitical front, President Donald Trump’s statement that he would pursue further talks with Iran, potentially building on last week’s fragile two-week ceasefire, provided an immediate trigger.
Markets interpret this as a step towards a long-term ceasefire, alleviating concerns about the escalating situation in the Middle East. As a result, oil prices have fallen below $100 per barrel, easing pressure on global energy costs and supporting gains in both stocks and cryptocurrencies.
However, caution remains in place around the Strait of Hormuz, a key choke point for global oil transport.
Investors are awaiting clearer signals regarding the stability of business operations in the region, as any disruption could quickly reverse the current risk-on sentiment.
For now, Bitcoin’s momentum has seen trading volumes increase as bulls test new highs, highlighting Bitcoin’s sensitivity to interconnected global trends.
Ethereum price prediction
Ethereum price has been forming an upward channel since early April, with the price respecting the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) as dynamic support around $2,176.
This level, combined with the potential triangle pattern uptrend line, forms a solid foundation that the bulls will vigorously defend. Buyers are currently attempting to use the 100-day EMA ($2,356) as a major support.
Among the key bullish indicators is the daily relative strength index (RSI), which is above 62. The RSI has not entered overbought territory yet, indicating strong momentum without depleting anytime soon.
Potential resistance levels loom at $2,800 and $3,370, which have served as support and highs from January 2026.
Conversely, a failure here could trigger a profit-taking move, testing the $2,000 support and possibly breaking below $1,800.
