Ethereum spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have logged 16 consecutive days of positive daily inflows, renewing optimism for ETH’s potential new all-time high (ATH) in the coming weeks. However, for ETH to reach this milestone, it must surpass the critical resistance level of $4,000. Ethereum Spot ETFs Attracting Consistent Inflows According to data from SoSoValue, Ethereum spot ETF inflows have remained consistently positive since November 22. The cumulative net inflows total $2.32 billion, with a significant $1.5 billion added between November 22 and December 16 alone. Related Reading: Ethereum Finally Set For A New All-Time High? Here’s What Analysts Say Breaking it down by weekly inflows, the week ending December 13 saw net inflows of $854.85 million, closely followed by $836.69 million during the week ending December 6. Moreover, the total net assets held by Ethereum ETFs have climbed to $14.28 billion, which represents approximately 2.93% of ETH’s total circulating supply. Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust (ETHE) ranks as the largest holder with $5.87 billion in net assets, followed by Blackrock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) with $4.02 billion. These strong inflows into Ethereum ETFs have bolstered bullish sentiment, with Ethereum bulls anticipating a possible rally to a new ATH for the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Crypto analyst Momin Saqib took X to share his thoughts on ETH price action. The analyst noted that ETH looks poised to break through the local highs of the $4,000 range and is eyeing the $4,500 price level. He added: Ethereum inflows have been coming in non-stop for the last few weeks! After seeing $BTC at $107K…. I think institutions don’t have much options left to bet on higher upside of crypto industry! Higher! Looking at Ethereum’s weekly chart, the digital asset has made four significant attempts to break through the $4,000 resistance level. While it briefly surpassed this level during its second attempt, creating its current ATH of $4,878, it ultimately proved to be a false breakout, followed by a prolonged bear market over the next two years. Analyst Rekt Capital noted that ETH’s post-breakout retest of the $3,100 price level was successful, propelling the cryptocurrency back into the $4,000 zone. They highlighted that ETH has held above the $4,000 zone as support for the second consecutive week, a key development that could pave the way for further upward momentum. Despite The Potential Upside, ETH Traders Remain Cautious While strengthening fundamentals, bullish technical indicators, and persistent ETF inflows paint a positive picture for Ethereum, some analysts remain cautiously optimistic about ETH’s short-term price action.

The analyst added that ETH’s ability to hold above key resistance levels indicates its strong bullish momentum. Another factor potentially dampening short-term optimism is Justin Sun, founder of Tron (TRX), who recently unstaked $208 million worth of ETH from Lido Finance. This move has raised concerns about potential selling pressure. ETH trades at $3,947 at press time, down 0.2% in the past 24 hours.

The on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has revealed the reason why Solana (SOL) has recently been lagging behind Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Solana Realized Cap Growth Has Slowed Down Recently In a new post on X, Glassnode has discussed about how the recent performance of Solana has stacked up against the two largest coins in the sector. “Looking at price performance, SOL outpaced both ETH and BTC for most of Q4 2024,” notes the analytics firm. “However, since early December, ETH has taken the lead, outperforming the other two assets.” As it stands right now, Bitcoin is up around 18% over the past month, Ethereum 28%, and Solana 3%. Thus, SOL has clearly fallen off after being the market leader just earlier. Related Reading: Bitcoin Top Here? What Historical HODLer Selloff Pattern Says What could be behind this shift in the market? The answer to the question could lie in the capital flows that these cryptocurrencies have recently been observing. In order to estimate the capital flows for the assets, Glassnode has made use of the Realized Cap indicator. The “Realized Cap” refers to an on-chain capitalization model that calculates the total value of any digital asset by assuming that the ‘real’ value of any token in circulation is the price at which it was last transacted on the blockchain. Since the last transfer for any coin is likely to represent the last point at which it changed hands, the price at its time could be considered its cost basis. Thus, the Realized Cap is a sum of the cost basis of all coins in the circulating supply or, more simply, a measure of the total amount of capital that the investors as a whole have put into the cryptocurrency. In this view, changes in the Realized Cap essentially reflect the amount of capital that’s exiting out of or entering into the asset. Below is the chart for the 7-day change in the indicator shared by the analytics firm, which showcases these outflows/inflows happening for Solana and others. From the chart, it’s visible that the 7-day change in the Realized Cap was at notable positive levels between September and early December. Bitcoin and Ethereum also observed capital inflows in this period, but SOL was simply growing at a significantly faster pace. Related Reading: Bitcoin Miners Now In Selling Mode For A Year: Should You Be Concerned? This month, though, the sector has seen a flip as both Bitcoin and Ethereum have pulled ahead of Solana. The earlier higher capital inflows were likely the drivers behind SOL’s outperformance, so with them gone, it makes sense that the top two assets would take over. SOL Price Whereas Bitcoin and Ethereum have enjoyed a surge over the last few days, Solana has been moving in a sideways trajectory as its price is still trading around $221.

ETH continues to show strength after Ethereum’s rally above $4,000 and bulls appear to be targeting the 2021 all-time highs under $5,000 and beyond.
The Ethereum price could face some turbulence, as Justin Sun, the founder of Tron (TRX), has unstaked a whopping $209 million from Lido Finance, a liquid decentralized staking platform for Ethereum. Compared to top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE), the Ethereum price has had a relatively muted performance, skyrocketing to $4,000 before consolidating and struggling to move higher. With the possibility of more sell-offs, Ethereum could see its price crashing down if Sun decides to dump more coins. Justin Sun Dumps ETH New reports from Spot On Chain, an AI-driven crypto platform, revealed that Sun recently applied to withdraw a staggering 52,905 ETH tokens worth about $209 million from Lido Finance. According to the on-chain data, this massive withdrawal was part of the ETH stash Sun allegedly accumulated between February and August 2024. Spot On Chain has revealed that the total amount of Ethereum Sun bought within this period amounted to 392,474 ETH tokens, valued at $1.19 billion. All of these tokens were purchased via three wallet addresses at an average price of $3,027. Presently, the total profit the Tron founder has acquired since his purchase is up to $349 million, representing a 29% increase from its purchasing price. Interestingly, on October 24, Sun had unstaked a massive 80,251 ETH tokens, worth over $131 million, from Lido Finance. Four days later, he transferred the entire amount to Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange. This notable move took place just before the price of Ethereum had dropped sharply by 5% in mid-October, which could have resulted in a loss for Sun. Unsurprisingly, this is not the first time Sun has dumped Ethereum. Spot On Chain revealed earlier this month that the Tron Founder had been cashing in his Ethereum holdings during the market rally. In November, Sun deposited 19,000 ETH worth $60.83 million to HTX, a crypto exchange. Additionally, he transferred 29,920 ETH valued at $119.7 million to HTX again after its price surpassed $4,000 over the past week. These are just a few transactions the Tron founder has made with ETH over the past month. Given Sun’s history of large-scale asset movements, further sell-offs could impact the already fragile Ethereum market. Nevertheless, the lingering question remains whether the Tron founder will continue his Ethereum dumping spree. Ethereum Price Crash Ahead? While Sun has not publicly commented on his recent large-scale Ethereum withdrawals, the size and timing of these transactions could pose a problem for the altcoin’s future trajectory. Historically, large ETH liquidations have triggered a price crash due to increasing selling pressures. Related Reading: Time To Sell XRP?

For now, the price of Ethereum seems to be performing well, recording a more than 7% increase in the last seven days and a 28% surge over the past month, according to CoinMarketCap.

Ethereum is on the verge of reclaiming the $4,000 level as it inches closer to its all-time highs. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap has faced skepticism throughout this cycle, with some analysts predicting it would underperform compared to its previous bull runs. However, Ethereum has surprised doubters, steadily climbing in recent weeks despite market uncertainty. Related Reading: ONDO Exchange Inflows Grow – Volatility Ahead? Key on-chain metrics from Glassnode reveal an important trend that could fuel further price gains: Ethereum whales have been accumulating aggressively since late November. This signals growing confidence among major holders, who are positioning themselves for potential upside. Historically, whale accumulation has often preceded significant price moves, hinting at the possibility of a breakout in the near term. While the market remains divided on Ethereum’s trajectory, its ability to sustain upward momentum near the $4,000 mark will likely define its performance in the weeks ahead. Breaking above this critical resistance could open the door to new highs and further solidify ETH’s role as a leader in the ongoing bull cycle. Ethereum Mega-Whale Balances Grow Ethereum has experienced a steady, albeit modest, rally since November 5, but it seems the real fireworks for ETH are yet to ignite. As Bitcoin soars into price discovery and several altcoins outperform expectations, Ethereum investors are searching for clear signals of an impending bull run for the second-largest cryptocurrency. Key on-chain data shared by top analyst Ali Martinez on X provides intriguing insights into Ethereum’s current state. Martinez highlights that Ethereum whales—entities holding significant amounts of ETH—have been accumulating aggressively since the price broke above the $3,330 level. This accumulation trend suggests that smart money is positioning itself for what could be a massive upward move in the months ahead. Historically, whale accumulation has often been a precursor to strong price rallies, as these large investors tend to anticipate major market shifts before retail traders. However, the narrative isn’t entirely bullish. While whale accumulation may signal confidence, it also raises concerns about a potential bull trap. These large holders could quickly pivot, offloading their ETH for other assets if market conditions shift or if Bitcoin’s dominance suppresses altcoin growth. Such a move could catch smaller investors off guard, leading to sharp corrections. Related Reading: AAVE Dominates DeFi Lending – Metrics Reveal 45% Market Share For Ethereum, holding above critical levels like $3,800 while breaking key resistances could be the catalyst needed to spark a true bull run. Until then, ETH remains a watchlist favorite, balancing potential and uncertainty. Price Testing Crucial Resistance Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $3,950, struggling to break above the crucial $4,000 resistance level for several days. Despite this, the price remains resilient, signaling strong market support. Clearing this level is essential to confirm the continuation of the uptrend, as $4,000 represents a psychological barrier and a key resistance zone for the asset. If Ethereum fails to breach the $4,000 mark, a retrace toward lower demand zones around $3,500 could be expected. This level has served as strong support in recent weeks, providing a cushion during periods of increased selling pressure. A pullback to this area could allow for renewed buying momentum, setting the stage for another attempt to break higher. Related Reading: Dogecoin Will See New ATH Soon – Top Trader Sets $2 Target However, recent market dynamics suggest Ethereum may be poised for a significant move upward. Bitcoin’s surge into price discovery and growing optimism around altcoins have created a bullish environment. With whales continuing to accumulate ETH, as highlighted by on-chain data, market participants are increasingly confident in Ethereum’s ability to retest and surpass its all-time highs.

This pattern often precedes a decisive move, leaving traders speculating whether ETH will break out to new highs or face a temporary pullback. Ethereum’s performance at this key level will likely shape market sentiment in the coming weeks. A breakout above $4,000 could pave the way for a rally toward its all-time high, reigniting investor confidence. On the other hand, failure to clear this resistance might validate bearish concerns and lead to a retrace. As ETH remains at a critical juncture, all eyes are on its ability to navigate this pivotal zone and deliver the next major move. Ethereum Preparing To Move Ethereum has been grappling with significant resistance above the $4,100 level, leaving the market in suspense as traders anticipate its next move. With the price consolidating and showing signs of tension, Ethereum appears ready to make a decisive move in the coming days. The critical question remains: will it break higher, or is a pullback imminent? Runefelt shared his insights on X, pointing out that Ethereum is currently trading within a symmetrical triangle on the hourly chart—a pattern known for signaling potential breakouts or breakdowns. According to Runefelt, Ethereum’s immediate future hinges on two key levels. A breakout above $4,100 would confirm a bullish trajectory, likely propelling ETH toward new highs. Conversely, a breakdown below $3,675 would signal bearish sentiment, opening the door for a deeper correction. Related Reading: Solana To New ATH Before Christmas – Analyst Expects $300 Soon Runefelt emphasizes the importance of these levels, noting that the symmetrical triangle suggests mounting pressure that could soon lead to significant volatility. As Ethereum holds its position near critical resistance, the next few days are shaping up to be pivotal for determining its market direction. Technical Levels To Watch Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading at $3,840 after failing to break above the critical $4,000 resistance level. While the price remains strong and within range of this key level, it needs to clear $4,000 to confirm the continuation of its uptrend. Without a decisive breakout, ETH risks losing momentum, leaving traders and investors cautious about the next move. The $4,000 level has proven to be a significant psychological and technical barrier for Ethereum, with multiple attempts to break it being met with selling pressure. A successful breach of this resistance would likely pave the way for ETH to target higher levels, potentially pushing toward the yearly high of $4,100 and beyond. Related Reading: Dogecoin Will See New ATH Soon – Top Trader Sets $2 Target However, if Ethereum fails to overcome this hurdle, the market could see a retrace to lower demand zones.

Ethereum is attempting to break above the critical $4,000 level as it edges closer to its all-time high. The market has shown skepticism regarding Ethereum’s performance in this cycle, with some analysts predicting it might underperform compared to previous bullish phases. Despite this doubt, Ethereum has proven its resilience, consistently finding demand at key support levels and maintaining a bullish price structure. Related Reading: Dogecoin Will See New ATH Soon – Top Trader Sets $2 Target Adding to the optimism, on-chain data from IntoTheBlock highlights a strong foundation for Ethereum’s network activity this week. Metrics such as active addresses, transaction volumes, and net flows suggest a healthy ecosystem, reinforcing the potential for ETH to continue its upward trajectory. These indicators reveal increasing participation and growing confidence among investors, even amid broader market uncertainties. As Ethereum approaches a critical resistance, all eyes are on whether it can maintain momentum and push past $4,000. If successful, this breakout could reignite bullish sentiment and pave the way for ETH to retest its all-time highs, silencing doubters in the process. However, failure to clear this hurdle might result in further consolidation, keeping traders on edge as they anticipate Ethereum’s next major move. Ethereum Data Signals Strength Ethereum has been steadily climbing in recent weeks, fueled by a strong bullish trend that began earlier this month. The price momentum is catching the attention of top analysts and investors, who are closely watching for a breakout above yearly highs as ETH edges closer to its all-time high (ATH). The anticipation in the market is palpable, with many viewing this as a pivotal moment for Ethereum to solidify its position in this bull cycle. Top analyst Ali Martinez recently shared on-chain metrics from IntoTheBlock, revealing a robust outlook for Ethereum’s network this week. Active addresses have increased by 4.24%, signaling heightened participation and interest among users. Similarly, new addresses have risen by 2.65%, suggesting growing adoption and investor activity. Notably, zero-balance addresses have decreased by 4.06%, indicating that dormant wallets are coming back to life, and ETH is being reactivated for transactions or investments. These positive metrics highlight building momentum for Ethereum, reinforcing the belief that it is poised for a significant price move. If ETH successfully breaks above its yearly highs, it could trigger a powerful rally, potentially setting new records. However, a failure to maintain upward momentum could see Ethereum retreat to consolidate further before attempting another breakout. Related Reading: Solana To New ATH Before Christmas – Analyst Expects $300 Soon With its fundamentals strengthening and the market aligning for a breakout, Ethereum appears ready to make its next major move. Whether it’s targeting new all-time highs or finding support for another push, the coming weeks will likely be crucial in determining Ethereum’s trajectory for the remainder of the bull cycle. As sentiment builds, all eyes remain on Ethereum’s ability to capitalize on its growing momentum. ETH Testing Supply Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading at $3,920, showing resilience after several failed attempts to break above the critical $4,000 resistance level. This price point remains a psychological and technical barrier for ETH, and clearing it is essential to confirm the continuation of its bullish uptrend. The market’s attention is focused on Ethereum’s ability to reclaim the $4,000 level, which would likely serve as a catalyst for a strong rally toward new yearly highs. However, the inability to decisively breach this resistance has kept ETH in a consolidative phase, leaving some uncertainty about its next move. If Ethereum fails to maintain its current momentum and breaks above $4,000 in the coming sessions, the price could face increased selling pressure. A retracement toward lower demand levels around $3,500 is likely in such a scenario. This level has previously acted as a robust support zone, and a retest could provide the foundation for another upward attempt.

However, the cryptocurrency’s rally was momentarily paused after the crypto market saw a significant pullback. Earlier this week, ETH retraced nearly 10%, dipping below the $3,500 mark as Bitcoin retraced to $95,000. After the retrace, the second-largest crypto by market capitalization has steadily climbed back, recovering the $3,800 support zone on Wednesday afternoon. ETH’s price then rose another 2% in the early hours of Thursday to trade above the $3,900 level again. As Ethereum reclaimed this key zone, Crypto analyst Carl Runefelt noted that the cryptocurrency was trading back above its ascending support trendline, which it had lost during the market correction. Additionally, the King of Altcoins was retesting a six-day downtrend line in the 4-hour chart, which would target a surge toward $4,000 after a successful breakout from the $3,940 mark. Ethereum broke above this resistance in the following hours, surging to a daily high of $3,985 before retracing to $3,945. Per the analyst, holding above this level could propel ETH’s price to $4,100 in the coming days. ETH To $5,000 Soon? According to some analysts, despite reclaiming the $3,900 zone, Ethereum still needs to turn another multi-year resistance into support successfully. Analyst Alex Clay recently pointed out that ETH has been retesting the $9,350 level since 2021, unsuccessfully turning it into support over the past few years. Ethereum has faced rejection at this resistance level on four different occasions. However, when ETH broke and held this level, it rallied toward its all-time high (ATH) of $4,878 around three years ago. Crypto analyst Jelle suggested that Ethereum is preparing for massive moves as it recently broke out of a multi-year pennant. ETH-based Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have seen a massive surge since the post-election rally. As Farside Investors data shows, ETH ETFs have seen over $500 million in inflows this week and over $1.3 billion since this month started. This signals increased demand from institutional players, adding to the cryptocurrency’s momentum. Related Reading: Analyst Sounds The Alarm As Solana (SOL) Retests $210, Rebound Or Retrace Next? Moreover, the Donald Trump-backed DeFi project World Liberty Financial Initiative (WLFI) acquired around $10 million in ETH yesterday. Lookonchain said the WLFI wallet bought 2,631 ETH at $3,801 per token. To Jelle, this “looks like ETH season just got the ‘go ahead’ nod from institutions.” If Ethereum reclaims the $3,950 resistance into support, there will be “very little standing in the way of new all-time highs from here,” the analyst added. He forecasted that Ethereum could hit $5,000 after breaking out and that 2025 will be a “comeback year for ETH.” As of this writing, ETH is trading at $3,951, a 4.7% surge in the daily timeframe.

Key Breakout To Drive Ethereum’s Next Big Move […]
In a recent report, crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuer and asset manager Bitwise unveiled bold predictions for Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market by 2025, highlighting the significant performance of major cryptocurrencies throughout this year. A Stellar Year For Bitcoin And Major Cryptos Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $104,000 at the start of the month, marking a staggering increase of 141.72% year-to-date, driven largely by the historic launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States, which amassed $33.56 billion in assets. Other cryptocurrencies also demonstrated impressive gains: Solana (SOL) rose by 127.71%, XRP skyrocketed by 285.23%, and Ethereum (ETH) increased by 75.77%. Notably, crypto-related equities such as MicroStrategy and Coinbase also saw remarkable increases of 525.39% and 97.57%, respectively. Related Reading: Five Weeks, Five Purchases: MicroStrategy Invests Another $2.1 Billion In Bitcoin Beyond price hikes, Bitwise notes that the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies also improved significantly. In the 2024 US elections, crypto-friendly candidates triumphed, enhancing the industry’s prospects. President-elect Donald Trump, who embraced cryptocurrencies in his campaign, pledged to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve and reform the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), have further contributed to the current uptrend. Trump’s nomination of Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary—who has previously described crypto as a vehicle for freedom—further signals a shift in the regulatory environment. Optimistic Predictions For 2025 As Bitwise’s team looks ahead, they express enthusiasm about entering what they term the “Golden Age of Crypto.” Their predictions are grounded in several key factors, including rising institutional adoption, advancements in blockchain technology, and anticipated global stimulus from major central banks. The report specifically projects that Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana—the “magnificent three”—will continue to outperform traditional asset classes. In 2024, these cryptocurrencies significantly outpaced the S&P 500, which returned 28.07%, gold at 27.65%, and bonds at a meager 3.40%. Bitwise expects this momentum to carry into 2025, with all three assets setting new all-time highs. The research notes the continuing demand for Bitcoin, which is being pushed by an injection of funds into Bitcoin ETFs, as well as the imminent supply reduction due to the April 2024 Halving. This Halving event is intended to reduce new Bitcoin issuance, hence increasing scarcity. If the US government follows through on its proposal to establish a strategic reserve of one million Bitcoins, Bitwise predicts that Bitcoin’s price will skyrocket to $200,000 or perhaps $500,000. Related Reading: XRP Price Eases Gains: Eyes on The Critical $2 Threshold Despite its strong performance in 2024, Ethereum has experienced hurdles as investors move their attention to Bitcoin and faster-growing blockchains. However, Bitwise predicts a narrative shift for Ethereum in 2025. They believe that activity on Layer 2 (L2) solutions such as Base and Starknet will expand dramatically, as will inflows into spot Ethereum ETFs. The rise of stablecoins and tokenized projects on Ethereum is also expected to pique investors’ interest. The firm predicts a significant increase to a new all-time high of $7,000 for the market’s leading altcoin. Solana, on the other hand, known for its quick rebound following the 2022 market meltdown, is also expected to perform well in 2025. The study attributed Solana’s 2024 spike to a memecoin frenzy, similar to the GameStop trading saga. Looking ahead, Bitwise anticipates that projects will continue to migrate to the Solana network, expanding its ecosystem beyond memecoins. Bitwise anticipates a significant increase, almost tripling the current price record to a new high of $750 per SOL. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $96,000, while Ethereum and Solana are consolidating around $3,662 and $218 respectively. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

Ethereum (ETH) continues to hover around the critical $4,000 resistance level, a price point many believe could determine the cryptocurrency’s next major move. However, a strong weekly close has sparked optimism among analysts, suggesting that ETH could be on track to reach a new all-time high (ATH) soon. Ethereum Heading To New ATH? Experts Weigh In While cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL), and XRP have experienced explosive growth this year, ETH’s price momentum has been relatively subdued. According to CoinGecko, Ethereum has recorded gains of 62% over the past year, falling short compared to other trending digital assets. Related Reading: Analyst Confirms Ethereum Golden Cross As ETH Surges Past $4,000 – Is Altseason In Sight? However, ETH’s performance relative to other cryptocurrencies has not deterred ETH bulls from aiming for new ATHs for the cryptocurrency. For instance, seasoned crypto analyst Pentoshi recently took to X to explain the significance of ETH’s “structural changes” and the consistently large inflows attracted by spot ETH exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Pentoshi noted that Ethereum has not only recorded a higher high on the weekly chart, but also had its highest weekly close of the year. The analyst added that, given its current price of slightly below $4,000, there is not much resistance to ATH, which “should act as a magnet” for further gains. Another crypto analyst, @CryptoPoseidonn highlighted that ETH is set to break out of its “4-year, 1,460-day range to the upside.” In a chart, the analyst marked out the different Fibonacci extension levels to identify potential price targets for ETH. According to the chart, ETH can rise to $6,000 at the 1.272 extension level, $7,400 at the 1.618 extension level, and $11,400 at the 2.618 extension level. ETH can rise “much higher, far beyond your worst nightmares,” the analyst added. In a shorter time frame, Satoshi Flipper, another well-known analyst, emphasized that ETH attempts to break through an ascending channel in the 4-hour chart. He suggested that the current price, sitting on diagonal channel support, might present a “nice entry” point, predicting that the next impulsive move could take ETH to $4,400. ETH Bulls Cautiously Optimistic Although there is high anticipation for a new ETH ATH, some experts opine that there may still be a few hurdles before the digital asset records a new ATH price. For instance, ETH crossing the $4,000 level may lead to increased risks of profit-taking, potentially resulting in a short-term correction. Related Reading: Ethereum Risk-Reward Ratio Is Now Attractive, Brokerage Firm Explains However, Ethereum’s fundamentals remain robust, adding to its bullish outlook. For instance, ETH active addresses and large value transactions have shown an uptick, reflecting increased on-chain activity during the recent rally. Additionally, some analysts believe ETH could follow a trajectory similar to Bitcoin’s 2021 bull run, with the potential to reach $10,000. ETH trades at $3,847 at press time, down 3.9% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, charts from X and Tradingview.com
