ETHFI Price Prediction: Can Ether.fi Extend Its Rally?

Ether.fi (ETHFI) is nearing a key resistance level at $0.655, up 8.01% in 24 hours to $0.6282, with a market cap of $602.32M. Institutional integration news and a multi-week uptrend support the rally, but high holder concentration and a steep downtrend since launch pose risks. A breakout above $0.655 could target $0.814 and $0.999, while failure may see support at $0.483.
