The Ethereum price has surged 16% in a week to trade at $2,644 as of 1:20 a.m. EST time on trading volume that dropped 13%.
It comes amid reports that billionaire Peter Thiel’s venture capital firm Founders Fund injected $200 million into ETH and BTC in 2023 with a 50/50 split.
📈 Founders Fund, led by former PayPal CEO Peter Thiel, invested $200M in $BTC & $ETH, splitting $100M each in late summer 2023 when #Bitcoin was below $30K.

Reuters says the investment suggests renewed interest in crypto markets by Silicon Valley investors and may also signal the return of institutional players into the altcoin investments space.
Meanwhile, the Ethereum price is trading within the confines of an ascending parallel channel. While there are multiple prospects for more gains, the chances of a correction are also increasing.
Ethereum Price Prognosis As ETH Trades Within An Ascending Parallel Channel
The Ethereum price is confronting resistance due to the midline of the parallel channel. However, with the price testing the upper boundary of the Bollinger indicator at $2,657, the asset is already overbought. This is underscored by the position of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 71 and teasing with a cross below the 70 level. This suggests ETH is ripe for selling.
Additionally, the current Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) for the Ethereum price indicates a possible correction. This comes as it has risen above 1 as a 30-day moving average (MA). The reading as of press time is 2.30. For the layperson, this ratio shows that ETH holders who are in profit at current Ether prices may soon cash in on their gains.
With these, it is possible that the Ethereum price could pull back at this point. It is therefore imperative that investors fight off the urge to succumb to the fear of missing out (FOMO). Instead, they should consider waiting for the SOPR rate to fall below 1 before making another entry into the Ether market.
If the bears have their way, the Ethereum price could drop below the lower boundary of the channel. In a dire case, it could extend the fall to breach the support confluence between the centerline of the Bollinger indicator and the horizontal line at around $2,394.
For the bullish outlook to be invalidated, however, the Ethereum price must break and close below the $2,280 support.

Converse Case
On the other hand, if the bulls tighen their grip and traders shelve their profit appetite, the Ethereum price could overcome the resistance due to the midline of the channel. In a highly bullish case, the gains could see the Ethereum price reclaim the range high of $2,717. A strong move above this barricade could set the pace for a new local top.
