On July 8, the Ether.Fi Foundation announced on the X platform that it had acquired ETHFI tokens worth 46 ETH. This purchase was part of a community-approved plan for an ETHFI buyback and liquidity pool seeding. The acquired ETHFI tokens have been deposited into a weETH/ETHFI curve pool. This transaction represents 5% of the protocol’s revenue from June.
The EtherFi Foundation plans to use up to 50% of protocol revenue to buy ETHFI, starting with an initial 5% purchase. Future monthly purchases will be subject to a community vote. Additionally, the community approved an ETHFI DAO proposal to implement a staking contract on the Ethereum mainnet.

Ether.fi Price Indicates Bull Rally Ahead
Technical analysis of the Ether.fi chart shows that price may rebound potential as the buyers begin pumping in price upwards within the falling wedge pattern. The bulls are seen to have regained strength after reaching the support level of $1.77 dollars.
Currently, the market is trading below the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) and the 200-day SMA. However, the bulls are seen to be pushing the price up, creating a chance for it to surpass the 50-day and 200-day SMA. This act will increase the chances of the bulls being able to reach the target price and even surpass it.
Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates potential bullish momentum ahead, with the orange signal line steadily rising, suggesting a possibility for the blue line to surpass it. The RSI also shows optimism as the market moves above the 50-midline towards the 70-overbought level, favouring buyers.
Moving average convergence divergence(MACD) also shows support. The green histogram bars rise steadily as they increase in size, increasing the chances of a bullish crossover.
Ether Price Prediction
Bullish momentum on Ether’s price is building as buyers aim to recover their losses, potentially forming a bullish crossover. If the price continues upward and surpasses both the 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA), it could reach $6.6. Conversely, if bears maintain control and push the price below the $1.77 support level, it would negate the bullish outlook and indicate a continuing downtrend.
