Ethereum Price Prediction for August 11, 2025 – tradeCompass by investingLive.com
Bullish above: 4,265 (with setup condition)
Bearish below: 4,235
Primary target: 4,400
Current price: 4,298
Market Context and Directional Bias for Ether Futures Today
On Friday, our Ethereum futures price prediction delivered one of the most accurate and profitable calls of the week. We guided readers to join the bulls via three buy orders, averaging $3,949. By Friday’s high at $4,375, that move had gained 10.7% – and for those trading with leverage, the returns were even more striking.
Today, Ether futures trade just under the 4,300 round number, with session VWAP at 4,304 and a key resistance at 4,374. Should price clear that level, the 4,400 target remains in play, but we also note a more ambitious swing level at 4,465.
Our bullish threshold is intentionally set at 4,265, but it only activates if price first dips to 4,263 (or within a tick or two) before turning back above 4,265. This allows us to capture a likely bounce rather than chase price at a less favorable point.
Bullish Partial Profit Targets for Ether Futures Today (if and when bullish threshold is activated)
-
4,282 – a quick target to secure initial gains.
-
4,299 – just below today’s Point of Control (POC) and VWAP; standard stop-to-entry point.
-
4,318 – aligned with a liquidity pocket likely to see institutional activity.
-
4,331 – further liquidity draw.
-
4,367 – just below today’s Value Area High and second upper VWAP deviation.
-
4,400 – major round number and our core target.
-
4,463 – swing target for extended runners, two dollars shy of a critical resistance.
Bearish Partial Profit Targets for Ethereum Short Traders (if and when bearish threshold is activated)
Bearish bias activates below 4,235. Caution is warranted as 4,210.5 could trigger a reversal, so bears move stops to entry immediately at that point.
-
4,210.5 – important key level, manage risk aggressively.
-
4,162.5 – near Friday’s third lower VWAP deviation, also a historic liquidity zone.
-
4,103.5 – above Friday’s Value Area High.
-
4,001.5 – aggressive bear target, just above the 4,000 round number.
Educational Insight – Why VWAP, Value Areas, and Liquidity Pools Matter
tradeCompass doesn’t just pick numbers at random.
-
VWAP anchors the day’s “fair value” by weighting prices by traded volume. It helps distinguish when price is trading at a premium or discount relative to session consensus.
-
Value Area High (VAH) & Low (VAL) mark the range where about 70% of trading volume occurred. Moves beyond these can signal fresh directional intent.
-
Liquidity Pools are price zones where unfilled orders and stop levels cluster. Price often gravitates to these areas to facilitate order matching, making them high-probability partial profit points.
By targeting these areas for partial exits, traders reduce risk, lock in gains, and remain flexible for whatever the market does next.
Why This Approach Works
The tradeCompass method avoids overtrading by taking only one trade per direction per session. Stops move to entry after the second partial target, capital is preserved, and traders stay nimble.
Ethereum has been the “900-pound gorilla” of crypto over the last month – outrunning Bitcoin by roughly 102% in the last 112 days in futures terms. This combination of brand strength, adoption scale, and recent momentum means price moves here are both significant and tradable with size.
Ethereum Trade Management Reminders
-
One trade per direction per tradeCompass map.
-
Stops move to entry after second partial profit (earlier for exceptions like today’s 4,210.5 bear case).
-
Let the market come to you – avoid chasing entries in the “noise” zone between thresholds.
