Ethereum is now testing a key historical level.
The Active Investor Price +1σ band, currently at $4,500, has acted as a critical upside threshold in past cycles.
In March 2024, ETH failed to break this level and reversed.
During the 2020–21 bull run, this same region marked the zone where markets turned euphoric.
Crossing above it doesn’t just mean “higher prices.”
It has historically signaled growing speculative risk, where investors pay far above their average cost basis often a sign of late stage optimism.
Right now, ETH is back at this zone.
Whether it breaks through or gets rejected again will say a lot about the strength and maturity of this rally.
