Source: Cantering Clark<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The strike price with the highest open interest is $3,200. Although this does not necessarily mean that there is a high probability of ETH hitting $3,200, it indicates that there is significant interest at that price level. The trader said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Is it the start of $ETH season? Options market making some big bets into June. 3200 strike has a bullseye on it.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While there could be multiple reasons why traders might be anticipating ETH to surpass $3,000 by June, one of the biggest factors is the much-anticipated EIP1559 upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>EIP1559 is set to go live in July 2021, which would overhaul the existing fee structure of the Ethereum blockchain.<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, the proposal burns fees that are paid in ETH rather than paying miners, which proponents say should stabilize fees for transacting on the Ethereum blockchain. As Cointelegraph reported, the cost of using the blockchain rose 77% over the past few days in line with a 31% increase in the price of Ether.<\/p>\n<p>EIP1559 essentially burns some of the ETH paid for transacting, which should reduce the circulating supply of ETH and hence put upward pressure on its value.<\/p>\n<p>Since a lot of options targeting the June strike price would expire right before the EIP1559 implementation, it means traders are expecting a rally going into the implementation phase.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Massive_ETH_outflows_are_also_being_spotted\"><\/span>Massive ETH outflows are also being spotted<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, Ki Young Ju, the CEO at CryptoQuant, points out that Ethereum has been seeing massive exchange outflows in the past few days.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2021-04\/14e83747-2aa9-40b5-b06b-dfd7b962834b.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Coinbase netflow.
