Ethereum’s Breakout Moment (ETH): The Trade We’ve Been Tracking Since June Is Back in Play

Note: The examples and setups featured in this article are not presented as precise entry or exit points, nor are they intended to suggest that anyone could have captured the exact bottom or top. Rather, they are meant to highlight the potential of the move based on the data we provide. Our focus is on identifying asymmetrical opportunities—where even capturing a portion of the move can be highly meaningful. As with George Soros’s famous short of the British pound—where the full potential was $3 billion, but only $1 billion was realized—the value lies in recognizing the setup, not perfection. Our institutional clients understand this well: they use our signals as a foundation and apply their own strategies to extract what fits their model. Success often comes from capturing the meat of the move, not chasing extremes.

Disclaimer: SetYourStop.com does not tell anyone what to buy or sell. We are a research company. The data we publish highlights signals of potential momentum or positioning that appear on our radar through daily monitoring of price action, volume, and institutional activity. These examples are meant to demonstrate how the data helps surface potential opportunities—not to suggest specific trades or outcomes. It is up to each individual to decide how they want to use the information. Our institutional clients value this work because we do the homework—they take the data, run it through their own models and strategies, and determine what fits.

Ethereum Is Breaking Out—and the Rotation Has Begun

On June 16, 2025, we published our original thesis:
“Ethereum: The Next Great Tech Platform Hiding in Plain Sight.”

Link to article: Read the full report →

At the time, Ethereum was trading quietly near $2,600—coiling within a multi-year base, below the radar of most market participants. But behind the scenes, a shift had already begun.

Stablecoins were the spark.

Just as ChatGPT triggered mass awareness of AI’s potential, the sudden growth in stablecoin adoption ignited a structural narrative for Ethereum. Why? Because the majority of stablecoins are issued and transacted on the Ethereum network. This wasn’t just another crypto trend—this was real-world infrastructure in motion.

That moment—quiet but powerful—marked the beginning of Ethereum’s institutional adoption curve. And it opened the floodgates for something far bigger:

The tokenization of everything.

Once capital flows, legal clarity, and technological rails are aligned, stablecoins become the gateway drug. Next comes tokenized real estate. Tokenized treasuries. Tokenized energy. Tokenized equity. Everything becomes programmable, tradable, and measurable—on-chain.

Ethereum is the substrate.

We Wrote the Thesis Before the Headlines

In that original June 16 report, we outlined why Ethereum’s deflationary tokenomics, yield-bearing structure, and ETF tailwinds positioned it to be more than a speculative asset.

It was—and still is—infrastructure.
The foundational layer of the next capital system.

Since then, our research has tracked Ethereum’s technical breakout, the rotation into ETH-linked equities, and the emergence of institutional capital.

We didn’t publish the headline.
We published the setup.

The Technical Breakout Is Now in Motion

Ethereum’s weekly chart is lifting off the lower trendline of a five-year consolidation base—a structure we’ve been highlighting repeatedly. And as we like to say:

The bigger the base, the higher the space.

Ethereum – Weekly Chart

Ethereum continues to set up just beneath its all-time highs, coiling tightly within a multi-year consolidation base. Price is now pressing against the upper boundary of that structure, with the potential to break into new price discovery.

A breakout from this range would leave no overhead resistance, creating an asymmetrical trade setup—the exact type of structure we look for when momentum has room to accelerate sharply.

This is the kind of inflection point that marks major regime shifts in asset behavior. Structurally, this mirrors Bitcoin’s 2017 moment before price went parabolic, when it cleared prior highs and never looked back. This setup is structurally textbook behavior, with a catalyst on deck equivalent to ChatGPT’s moment for AI—a long-term base, institutional alignment, and a technical configuration with explosive potential.

As long as Ethereum remains above its rising moving averages and holds structural support, the risk/reward remains heavily skewed in favor of continued upside. A confirmed breakout would likely ignite a fresh wave of capital rotation, first into ETH, and then into the ecosystem around it.

Ethereum – Daily Chart

Meanwhile, the daily chart is breaking out from a bullish flag while walking higher along upward-sloping moving averages. This is classic breakout behavior—and it’s happening as capital rotates into ETH proxies and treasuries.

Whether Tom Lee’s $16,000 ETH target plays out is not the point. We follow structure. We follow rotation. And the structure is now in play.


 

BMNR: The World’s Largest Ethereum Treasury

We first flagged BitMine Immersion (BMNR) before it launched into a 500% run, driven by its Ethereum treasury strategy and institutional backing. Now, after pulling back and reclaiming key moving averages, it’s beginning to set up again. The structure is tightening, and with Ethereum breaking out, this could mark the start of a second leg. The same is true for SharpLink Gaming (SBET), which we highlighted before it surged over 100% in just five days. That move played out exactly as anticipated—and now, SBET is working toward the apex of a new consolidation pattern. Both names were tracked and reported in real time, and both are back on the radar.

In our August 5 and 6 reports, we highlighted BitMine Immersion (BMNR) as it began reclaiming key moving averages.

On August 7 premarket, the stock surged over 15%, hitting $41.99, following Ethereum’s overnight breakout.

BitMine now holds 833,137 ETH, valued at over $2.9 billion, making it the largest publicly traded Ethereum treasury in the world.

This strategy—executed rapidly since June—has drawn in some of the biggest names in finance, including:

  • Stanley Druckenmiller

  • Peter Thiel (via Founders Fund, 9.1% stake)

  • Bill Miller III

  • Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest

  • Galaxy Digital

This isn’t retail momentum. This is institutional positioning.

And we’ve been all over it—tracking the setup live in our Slack workspace, email updates, and daily reports.

SBET: Building a Second Setup

After doubling in just five days back in July, SharpLink Gaming (SBET) is tightening again.

In the August 6 report, we noted:

“SharpLink Gaming is working its way toward the apex of a significant consolidation area. Monitor for signs of upside momentum, which may lead to a breakout—especially if the price action in Ethereum starts to accelerate.”

Ethereum is accelerating.

SBET—quietly holding over 521,000 ETH and generating consistent staking rewards—is now forming a continuation setup. The structure is clean. The catalyst is real. And the risk/reward is resetting.

ETHA: The Institutional Confirmation

iShares Ethereum ETF (ETHA)—highlighted in our August 6 report—is now breaking out from a bullish flag on its daily chart.

This setup reflects the broader institutional thesis: Ethereum is not just a token; it’s a treasury asset, a staking yield source, and the rails for real-world asset tokenization.

As price begins to expand, ETFs like ETHA serve as direct proxies for capital that can’t or won’t custody ETH themselves. This rotation is only beginning.

Final Thoughts: The Trade Is Back in Play

Everything we outlined in June is now playing out—live and in sequence:

  • Ethereum is breaking out

  • Institutional capital is flowing

  • Treasury proxies like BMNR are surging

  • Legacy narratives are shifting

  • SBET and ETHA are tightening again

Stablecoins were the catalyst.
Tokenization is the endgame.

This moment isn’t hype. It’s infrastructure catching fire.

We don’t give advice.
We deliver the research.
What happens next is up to you.
