Ethereum Price Prediction: JPMorgan Builds On Ethereum While BlackRock Pulls $102M Out In One Day

Ethereum trades at $2,300 on May 13, holding inside a rising wedge on the daily chart as JPMorgan files its second tokenized Treasury fund on the network and spot ETFs post their largest single-day outflow in weeks.

$ETH Daily Chart: Wedge Tightening Below the SAR and 100 EMA

Ethereum Daily Price Action (Source: TradingView)

The daily chart shows $ETH recovering inside a rising wedge since the February low near $1,800. Price has reclaimed the 20 EMA at $2,311 and 50 EMA at $2,275, both now sitting as dynamic support. The 100 EMA at $2,341 is the immediate ceiling, with the Parabolic SAR at $2,420 bearish and overhead.

The wedge is narrowing. Upper rail is approaching near $2,400, lower rail holding near $2,200. Price has been oscillating inside this range since April without a clean directional break. Until $ETH closes a daily candle above the SAR at $2,420, the trend has not technically flipped. The 200 EMA at $2,578 is the macro target above that.

Key levels for $ETH:

• Resistance: $2,341 (100 EMA), $2,420 (SAR), $2,578 (200 EMA)
• Support: $2,311 (20 EMA), $2,275 (50 EMA), $2,200 wedge base
• Wedge apex: approaching, directional break due

$ETH Spot ETF Outflows: BlackRock Led the Exit

$ETH spot ETFs recorded $130.62M in net outflows on May 12, the largest single-day exit in recent weeks. BlackRock‘s ETHA led with $102.04M out, followed by Fidelity’s FETH at $36.98M. BlackRocks smaller ETHB bucked the trend, pulling in $11.75M. Cumulative net inflows across all $ETH spot ETFs still sit at $11.94B with total net assets at $13.39B.

The outflow follows two positive days on May 5 and May 6 that pulled in $97.57M and $61.29M respectively. The pattern over the past month is volatile, swinging between large inflows and sharp outflows, which reflects institutional traders actively repositioning rather than steady accumulation.

$ETH Derivatives: Volume and OI Both Rising

$ETH Derivatives Data (Source: Coinglass)

Volume climbed 12.32% to $38.86B while open interest rose 3.69% to $34.46B. Both moving higher together means new positions are being built, not just recycled. Options volume jumped 13.36% to $1.28B with options OI up 3.29% to $7.26B, pointing to traders positioning for a larger move ahead.

Retail on Binance sits long at 2.6483. OKX shows 2.33. Top traders on Binance hold 1.248 by positions, far more neutral than retail. Over 24 hours, $48.77M in longs were liquidated against $9.01M in shorts. Longs are absorbing more than five times the short pain, which is overleveraged retail getting cleared near resistance, not a squeeze setup.

JPMorgans Second Tokenized Treasury Fund Runs on Ethereum

JPMorgan filed with the SEC to launch JLTXX, the JPMorgan OnChain Liquidity-Token Money Market Fund, a tokenized Treasury vehicle built on Ethereum via its Kinexys Digital Assets platform. The fund invests exclusively in US Treasury securities and Treasury-collateralized overnight repurchase agreements, and is structured to qualify as an eligible reserve asset under the GENIUS Act, meaning stablecoin issuers can use it to meet reserve requirements.

JLTXX is JPMorgan‘s second tokenized money market fund on Ethereum after MONY, launched in December 2025 with $100M. The prospectus notes the fund may expand to other networks beyond Ethereum. JPMorgan’s Kinexys platform has already processed over $3 trillion in cumulative transactions, and this filing adds another layer of institutional infrastructure being built on Ethereum rails, alongside similar moves from BlackRock and other major institutions.

Ethereum Price Prediction: Upside and Downside for May 14

• Upside: Daily close above the SAR at $2,420 flips the trend and opens a move toward the 200 EMA at $2,578. JPMorgan institutional momentum on Ethereum and ETF inflows resuming would both accelerate the case.
• Downside: Wedge breakdown below $2,200 puts $2,000 back in play. Continued large ETF outflows with retail longs getting liquidated near resistance is the path that gets there.
