Coinbase has accumulated $300M+ in ETH, which is more than 2x all of Base's ETH earnings over time," Base member Kabir.base.eth said on X.
Despite the bearish performance, analysts note a potential setup for a price bounce as bearish sentiment impacts ETH.
Despite recent price volatility and market uncertainties, a renowned bitcoin specialist has offered an extremely positive assessment on Bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies. Michaël van de Poppe, the creator of MN Consultancy, believes we’re witnessing the dawn of a historic bull market that could push Bitcoin’s value to previously unimaginable heights. Related Reading: Bold Prediction: XRP Holders On The Path To Millionaire Status—Analyst The ‘Perfect Storm’ For Bitcoin & Ethereum In a radical change, the Trump administration’s pro-crypto policies have produced what van de Poppe refers to as “the perfect storm” for the growth of Bitcoin and Ethereum. This institutional support and improved banking custody alternatives have created the foundation for what may turn out to be the biggest cryptocurrency boom in history. The crypto guru suggests that similar exponential growth patterns could emerge by drawing comparisons to the dot com bubble of 1995-1999. “We’re currently in an ecosystem that has the most bullish government ever standing behind the whole perspective of tokenizing all assets […] and the adoption of Bitcoin into the government’s balance sheets,” van de Poppe wrote on X. Two Possible Market Peak Scenarios Arise Van de Poppe suggests two possible routes of development for the bitcoin industry. Based on the first scenario—which is rooted on the traditional four-year cycle—by the end of the year, Bitcoin may reach between $300,000 and $500,000, therefore attaining a remarkable peak. The crpyto expert also predicts Ethereum to reach $20,000. The perfect storm for #Bitcoin at $500,000 and #Ethereum at $20,000. The current sentiment of the markets is ultra bearish as the biggest daily capitulation in the history of the crypto markets has been taking place. Understandable. What’s next? Well, if your positions were… pic.twitter.com/q7IvIXM7VU — Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL) February 5, 2025 Conversely, he advises two more years of bull run might see Bitcoin valued at $1 million. These forecasts beat the present trade price of $99,000, with possible gains that would surpass the 20x surge exhibited during the 2017 bull market. Trade Conflicts May Accelerate Growth Of Crypto Van de Poppe believes that the looming trade war between the United States and China might benefit the bitcoin industry instead of being a danger. He believes that China’s choice to lower its currency value by selling dollars might reduce the value of the US dollar and bond prices, which could benefit other cryptocurrencies. This perspective challenges common mindsets about the market and offers a new way to understand how global conflicts impact digital assets. Short-Term Market Volatility Even while the future appears bright, there are still obstacles to overcome right now. For the first time in six to 12 months, analytics firm CryptoQuant discovered that nearly 50,000 Bitcoin units are in circulation.

Ether's price action mirrors the August bottom amid signs of strong dip demand for the second-largest cryptocurrency.
The blockchain's native token ether has underperformed bitcoin and other altcoins in recent months, the report noted.
Data shows investors likely bought the dip, snapping up ETH at lower prices.
After momentarily sliding below important support levels, Ethereum (ETH) is once again on the climb. After a significant change in market mood, the second-largest digital asset by market capitalization passed $2,900.

Tariff Pause Sparks Market Rebound Concerns over possible tariffs on Canada and Mexico rattled the crypto market earlier this week. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum fell significantly; Ethereum dropped momentarily to around $2,360. Still, the temporary suspension of the tariffs by Trump offered a breather, which raised investor confidence in risk assets including cryptocurrency. In the wake of the announcement, Ethereum experienced a robust recovery, with a nearly 20% increase. Traders interpreted this as an invitation to re-enter the market, and ETH promptly reclaimed the $2,900 mark. In my opinion, it’s a great time to add $ETH. — Eric Trump (@EricTrump) February 3, 2025 Eric Trump’s Crypto Endorsement Raises Eyebrows Eric Trump posted his optimistic view on Ethereum on social media. He first said, “In my opinion, it’s a great time to add $ETH. You can thank me later.” Although the subsequent section of his remarks was deleted, crypto investors saw resonance in his endorsement of Ethereum’s future development. The Trump family has been progressively involved in the digital asset sector, particularly through their World Liberty Financial platform. This most recent statement serves to emphasize their involvement and potential long-term dedication to blockchain technology. World Liberty Financial’s Significant Ethereum Transaction World Liberty Financial recently made a substantial move in the crypto space, which has served to further fuel speculation. The firm transferred over $300 million in assets to Coinbase’s custody platform, according to blockchain analytics firm Spot On Chain. Furthermore, they acquired an additional 1,826 ETH for approximately $5 million and converted nearly 20,000 Lido Staked Ether (stETH) into ETH.

Ethereum is off to a rocky start this 2025, and its vibrant dev community isn’t happy. According to reports, the Ethereum Foundation has recently moved a substantial amount of Ether. The foundation’s transactions to move and sell its tokens became messier when one of its employees attempted to explain the situation, generating a lot of backlash. Related Reading: $24 XRP Prediction: Bitcoin Maxi Calls It Risky But Possible Ethereum’s recent transactions have occurred since Bitcoin and other top tokens have been ripping through the charts. Price-wise, Ethereum is trading between $3,200 and $3,384, which is too far from 2021’s high of $4,870. What’s Up, Ethereum Foundation? The Ethereum Foundation, the primary organization supporting the development of the blockchain, is not helping the cause. Regardless of its intention or the overriding objectives for unloading massive ETH tranches, these moves still leave a bad taste in the mouths of most holders and supporters. According to a recent post by Spot On Chain on Twitter/X, the foundation has recently moved another 100 ETH in exchange for 336,475 DAI. According to the account, the foundation sold 200 ETH tokens for $67k in the first few days of 2025 at an average cost of $3,361.

Stark, a popular ETH supporter, defended the foundation’s decision to sell these ETH tokens, arguing that they’re still actively using the blockchain’s native token. the EF uses Ethereum all the time, for instance to (1) swap ETH for stables (usually @CoWSwap) and (2) to pay people (grantees, team members) in stables and ETH, on mainnet and L2s. Events we run (like Devcon and Devconnect) take onchain payments and use onchain ID for tickets. — Josh Stark (@0xstark) January 20, 2025 In a Twitter/X posting, Stark explained that the foundation uses its tokens every time. These tokens buy stablecoins, pay their people in stablecoins, and support the blockchain’s events. Stark’s comments didn’t sit well with some crypto observers and commentators. Twitter/X user WazzCrypto hit Stark for using ETH “dump” as an explanation to support the foundation’s transactions. User @VelvetMilkman was disappointed with Stark, arguing that it’s a lame excuse for using the altcoins. Meanwhile, X user Trading_Axe has a more scathing, and no holds barred take on the issue: Their brains actually do not work at all. The fuck you need 300K for so urgently?

The current market action of Ethereum has generated significant interest, especially among its large investors. A whale liquidated 10,070 ETH, resulting in an approximate loss of $1 million. The sell-off transpired as Ethereum’s price faltered in sustaining momentum, hovering around $3,280 during the transaction.

This particular whale knows the market well; it took out 24,029 ETH from Binance a few weeks ago, which is worth about $81 million. Even with this new deal, the whale still has 13,959 ETH, which is worth about $45 million. The speed with which this sell-off has been carried out suggests that there may be underlying factors influencing their strategy.

The value of ETH has dropped by 2.50% in the last 24 hours, and it is now worth about $3,177. This drop is the lowest price level in a week and shows why investors are worried about their assets. The mood in the market is changing from excitement to caution as many traders get ready for more price retreats. The Broader Perspective There are other instances of this sell-off. Other prominent players in the Ethereum ecosystem are also unloading their holdings. As part of a systematic transfer strategy, TRON founder Justin Sun recently sent about $320 million in Ethereum to exchanges. These actions suggest that many whales are responding to market conditions by selling their holdings rather than holding onto them in anticipation of potential future gains. Analysts remain somewhat confident in spite of these sell-offs and the overall negative trend. Some predict that Ethereum might hit all-time highs—possibly surpassing $10,000 by the middle of 2025—if market sentiment improves and selling pressure lessens. This optimistic outlook is contingent upon future developments and innovations within the Ethereum ecosystem.

Crypto analyst Adam (@abetrade) has sparked substantial debate by declaring that Ethereum is “the most cursed coin in existence,” suggesting that despite a notable uptick in overall market interest, the second-largest cryptocurrency remains stubbornly below its potential. Why Ethereum Seems To Be Cursed Speaking to his 178,000 followers on X, Adam pointed to a striking increase in Ethereum-related open interest, remarking: “ETH having the title of the most cursed coin in existence is well deserved because open interest in coins increased by 110% since August, yet the price is trading 20% below the 2024 highs; that’s genuinely quite bad.” In his view, this divergence between trader enthusiasm and the coin’s ongoing price stagnation indicates a fundamental gap that cannot be explained away simply by market volatility. He underscored that this dynamic seems to have brought about a paradox: while higher open interest often suggests growing market confidence, Ethereum’s price trajectory has failed to mirror such optimism, potentially because of selling pressure from the spot market. Related Reading: Ethereum Sees $1.4 Billion In Exchange Outflows This Week – Strong Accumulation Trend? Adam went on to characterize many of Ethereum’s most faithful supporters as “delusional,” – especially those who are still longing ETH on the futures market – pointing out that they appear ready to increase their ETH holdings whenever the asset’s value dips. Though his stance was critical, he also acknowledged that this resilience from buyers could set the stage for a more pronounced future move. “At the same time, you can see how delusional these people are, and instead of giving up, they rather buy more every time they have a chance,” he said, capturing both his skepticism toward what he interprets as blind faith and his recognition of a potential trading opportunity in the making. By presenting two possible scenarios—one in which a sudden liquidation event could drive ETH below the $3,000 threshold and another in which the market holds steady until a potential “blind bid” around $2,700—Adam outlined the triggers he believes could define Ethereum’s medium-term trajectory. Related Reading: Will Ethereum Bounce Back? Crypto Analysts Discuss Potential Price Recovery “Because I am some of a retard myself, I think this could set up as a great long with two possible plays, one being a liquidation event sub $3k; if that does not happen, I will probably bid sub $2.7k blindly as we have quite clear support there,” he explained, indicating a willingness to position himself in what he perceives as a high-risk, high-reward environment. This viewpoint of patience and strategic entry has resonated with other technical analysts, notably Ali (@ali_charts), who weighed in with a relatively similar price range in mind. “$2,700 to $2,800 sound like a probable scenario,” Ali stated, reflecting a sentiment that Ethereum may be poised for a correction to around these levels before any significant rebound can take place. Expanding on this, he stated that Ethereum might be tracking along an ascending parallel channel, where temporary price dips can serve as catalysts for larger movements. “If Ethereum is following an ascending parallel channel, a dip to the lower boundary at $2,800 could act as a launchpad for a move toward $6,000,” he commented. At press time, ETH traded at $3,082. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
There is a reason for Ethereum fans to be optimistic, as expert analysis suggests that the cryptocurrency is going to touch the skies in the coming months. As Bitcoin has just crossed $94,000, Ethereum also shows signs of life and bounces back from its recent low and hints at the possibility of price explosion.

Trading at $3,281 at the moment, Ethereum has slipped below the middle line of its rising channel and has traders spooked. But Martinez is one who thinks if Ethereum could just retest the lower boundary at $2,800 and rebound, it will likely launch into a bullish trend. This rebound may eventually set the stage for Ethereum to reach between $6,000 and $7,000. If #Ethereum $ETH is following an ascending parallel channel, a dip to the lower boundary at $2,800 could act as a launchpad for a move toward $6,000. pic.twitter.com/uYP6BW3DZh — Ali (@ali_charts) January 10, 2025 Market Sentiment & Challenges Even though these are all good signs, the mood in the futures market right now is not clear. Open interest in Ethereum has gone down by 1.25%, which shows that some buyers are becoming more cautious. The long-to-short number is still less than 1, which means that traders are betting against Ethereum instead of for it. Also, funding rates have gone down a lot, which shows that people are less interested in taking leveraged long bets. Although short-term sentiment may be negative, long-term holders may see attractive entry points at current prices. Due to their inherent volatility, cryptocurrencies require constant vigilance and awareness of market trends. Key Resistance Levels All eyes will be on Ethereum’s performance and whether it can overcome important resistance thresholds as we advance into 2025. Several elements determine whether one may achieve $6,000 or even $7,000: market conditions, investor mood, and more general economic impact. At the time of writing, Ether was trading at $3,274, down 0.9% and 9.9% in the daily and weekly timeframes, data from Coingecko shows. Related Reading: Will Ethereum Bounce Back? Crypto Analysts Discuss Potential Price Recovery Ether Price Forecast Ether (ETH) is likely to start an ascent in the next seven days; its present price sits 56% below the projected value for next month.

Ether is expected to rise by a solid 93% in six months and 94% in three months, according to predictions by CoinCheckup.

In the past week, Ethereum (ETH) has dropped 9.3%, falling from $3,630 on January 3 to $3,235 at the time of writing. While ETH is striving to defend the psychologically significant support level at $3,000, some crypto analysts remain confident that the digital asset’s long-term price trajectory is bullish. Can Ethereum Recover? Analysts Weigh In While the current crypto bull market saw Bitcoin (BTC) create multiple historical new all-time highs (ATH), Ethereum’s price action remained relatively muted. Notably, ETH’s ATH of $4,878 recorded in November 2021 remains intact. Related Reading: Ethereum Poised For A Bullish Q1 2025? Here’s What Experts Say However, ETH’s subpar price action during the current market cycle has not dampened crypto analysts’ hopes for a bullish trend reversal. For instance, several analysts are closely monitoring the inverse head-and-shoulders pattern forming on the 3-day Ethereum chart. While a standard head-and-shoulders pattern is typically bearish, an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern is considered bullish, signaling a potential reversal in the asset’s price trend. Analyst MikyBull recently highlighted this formation in a post on X. Crypto analyst Wolf, corroborated MikyBull’s bullish prediction. In their analysis, Wolf highlighted that a successful completion of an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern could propel ETH to as high as $7,200. Seasoned cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez added that a downswing to $2,900 would be “very bullish for Ethereum,” creating an excellent buying opportunity before ETH climbs to new ATHs. Martinez further noted that if ETH continues to follow its ascending parallel channel, a dip to $2,800 could provide a solid foundation for the next upward move. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency and forex trader Merlijn The Trader identified a bullish Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) signal on Ethereum’s 4-hour chart. This indicates that momentum could be shifting from bearish to bullish. According to Merlijn, this momentum shift might push ETH to the $3,700 price level. Will ETH Hit A New ATH In 2025? At the time of writing, ETH is trading approximately 33% below its ATH price. However, the rising institutional interest in the digital asset – particularly after the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved spot ETH exchange-traded funds (ETF) – could provide ETH the required momentum to eye new ATH.

The ETFs bleed money as renewed U.S. inflation fears dent Fed rate cuts and boost bond market volatility
Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of global financial services firm Fidelity Investments, has released a new paper titled “2025 Look Ahead: Is it ‘too late’ to enter digital assets?” The publication dedicates significant attention to the ongoing competition between Ethereum and Solana. Authored by Max Wadington, the section “Ethereum Outlook” provides a close look at fundamental metrics, upcoming network upgrades, and the broader implications for investors heading into 2025. Solana Vs. Ethereum In 2025 In a notable excerpt comparing Solana and Ethereum, Wadington explains: “We think fundamentals are most important for long-term investors. With that said, Ethereum has strong developer activity, total value locked (TVL), and stablecoin supply. Comparatively, Solana’s revenue and TVL are improving at a faster rate than Ethereum’s and seem to have captured significant community mind share this past year.” One factor complicating Solana’s growth trajectory is the provenance of its revenue, which is significantly influenced by memecoin trading. Wadington notes that while “a similar argument could be made for Ethereum’s main use case being Uniswap,” the fundamentals of Ethereum “are slightly less dependent on speculation and may be less volatile over the long term.” Thus, neither platform is risk-free, but Ether’s broader utility may afford it more resilience in bear markets. Related Reading: Solana Back Above Weekly & Monthly Support Levels – Analyst Expects New ATH Despite this, short-term narratives and technical milestones could tip market sentiment in Solana’s favor in 2025. Specifically, Solana’s upcoming Firedancer upgrade “promises a substantial increase in transactions per second (TPS), which may directly enhance Solana’s value proposition.” Ethereum’s Prague/Electra upgrade, meanwhile, “is expected to generate less community hype as it does not significantly impact ether’s value proposition.” Another key differentiator is Ethereum’s presence in US based spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs), a channel of accessibility that helps drive institutional and retail demand. However, Wadington highlights that this advantage “may disappear at some point under the Trump administration,” pending regulatory developments that “could either solidify Ether’s advantage in this area or completely remove it.” Related Reading: Solana Rally Stalls: Pullback To Key Support Signals Potential Correction Ultimately, Wadington suggests that fundamentals may reassert themselves over hype as the market progresses: “Although Solana appears to have more short-term tailwinds than Ether, its relative performance could provide significant upside for ether, similar to how Solana’s prior underperformance provided a substantial runway leading into 2024. As prices get extended throughout this bull market, investors will likely increasingly focus on fundamentals, which may sway them back into ether.” Has Ethereum Made A Misstep? Turning specifically to Ethereum, the paper delves into ongoing debates around Ethereum’s rollup-centric roadmap. In Wadington’s words: “The rollup-centric roadmap was designed to scale Ethereum while keeping the Layer 1 blockchain easy to run. However, since the Deneb-Cancun upgrade, there has been debate about this decision as Layer 1 fees have plummeted.” While lower fees might appear detrimental to direct revenue for Ether holders, Fidelity’s position is that the long-term benefits outweigh the short-term revenue drop. Wadington reiterates: “We continue to believe that revenue from the blob market is unlikely to offset the dramatic decrease in revenue created by the previous upgrade in the short term, yet it still carries long-term positive benefits through improved network effects.” In this view, Ethereum’s ecosystem stands to benefit from a mutualistic relationship with Layer 2s, which inherit Ethereum’s security and liquidity. The foundation’s priority, as Wadington writes, is ensuring “near-zero fees to keep Layer 2s within the Ethereum ecosystem.” This could foster more specialized Layer 2 projects in 2025, as developers customize entire tech stacks for niche use cases such as the Ethereum Name Service (ENS). At press time, Solana traded at $197. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
