📅 2 July 2026 | EarnFree.in | Featured: Ethereum
Ethereum was among the hardest-hit assets after the June 25 PCE session, dropping to $1,567 — a sharper intraday move than Bitcoin — as iShares’ ETHA ETF shed $86.1 million in outflows. But the protocol-level story for July is Glamsterdam, Ethereum’s next major upgrade targeting H2 2026, with Devnet-5 testing already underway and public testnet deployment targeted for July or August.

🔧 What Is Glamsterdam?
Glamsterdam is Ethereum’s next major protocol upgrade in its ongoing roadmap of scalability and efficiency improvements. Developers have described Q3 2026 as the realistic window for mainnet activation, with scope for slippage into Q4 if testnet stability requires further iteration — a normal pattern for major Ethereum upgrades historically. The upgrade’s specifics build on prior scaling work, continuing Ethereum’s push toward higher throughput and lower fees.
📈 ETH Technical Levels
- 🔑 78.6% Fibonacci retracement at $64,270-equivalent zone (BTC reference) — first level to reclaim for broader crypto structure
- 🟢 $1,500 remains the key psychological/structural support for ETH specifically
- 🚀 A sustained Glamsterdam narrative buildup into Q3 could catalyse renewed institutional interest ahead of activation
