The flippening whispers are back. The FUD crowd is silent. And yes, we said this rally was coming—before it did.

Key Highlights:

• Ethereum blasted past $2,700 for the first time since February, surging 70% in 30 days and 49% in just six.
• We accurately predicted the rally in our last MCP YouTube analysis—before most traders even stopped complaining about gas fees.

Yello ParadiseSquad, how’s that for a comeback? Ethereum, once mocked for being “flat” and forgotten, has torched its way past $2,700, blowing past resistance zones, sentiment polls, and the usual chorus of “ETH is dead” chants. And while retail was still stuck in disbelief, we were live on stream showing you this setup forming in real time.

That’s right. While most of Crypto Twitter was crying about underperformance and praying to the altar of altcoin rotation, we walked you through the breakout roadmap on our MCP YouTube stream, before the first green candle even printed. Now, ETH is up 70% on the month and over 49% in just the last six days.

From Panic to FOMO in 48 Hours Flat

Ethereum’s six-day rocket ride from $1,800 to $2,700 was so sharp it caused a full emotional U-turn in the market. Just a week ago, bearish calls flooded social media. By May 8, traders were scrambling to find reasons to FOMO in.

But here’s the kicker: this wasn’t just crowd psychology on steroids—it was smart money moving early. On-chain sleuths at Lookonchain reported Abraxas Capital grabbed 242,652 ETH worth over $560 million, including $400 million worth pulled from exchanges in just 72 hours.

That’s not an ape with a gut feeling. That’s institutional teeth snapping at the dip. And it happened right in the window we flagged.

ETH Isn’t Just Mooning—It’s Upgrading

This isn’t your typical pump. Ethereum has reclaimed its macro range of $2,200 to $3,900, last lost in Q1 2025. According to Rekt Capital, last week’s close at $2,514 wasn’t just a win—it was the technical signal bulls have been waiting for. There’s now an open path toward the $2,900–$3,350 CME gap, and momentum is on the bulls’ side.

And guess what? Gas fees are holding around $0.84, not $7. Layer 2s are working. Network usage is rising. It’s not just a price rally—it’s an infrastructure flex.

The Inevitable Disclaimer (That’s Actually Useful)

Could this cool off? Of course. Crypto Simon warns of potential consolidation between $2,400 and $2,700, with possible retests down to $2,300 or even $2,100. But if that happens, it likely cements $2,200 as the new floor, not the ceiling.

In other words: this is the kind of volatility that builds conviction, not kills it.

So Who Really Saw This Coming?

We did.

Before the memes stopped. Before the reversal. Before the ETH-to-zero crowd slinked back into the shadows, we were live, breaking down the structure, mapping the CME gaps, and showing the buy zones.

Join MCP News Private for just $3/month, catch the next call before it breaks headlines, and plug into a stream that gives you clarity while others scream.

Because when ETH goes vertical and the crowd says, “no one saw this coming,”

you’ll know we did.

And that’s not hindsight—it’s strategy. With a sprinkle of smug.
