Ethereum is once again approaching critical levels after a stretch of volatile yet bullish price action. Following a sharp rebound from yesterday’s low of around $3,675, ETH is now trading above the $3,800 mark, regaining momentum as traders eye a decisive move. While short-term volatility remains, the overall structure favors continuation—provided ETH can break cleanly above the $4,000 resistance level.

A confirmed breakout would likely ignite fresh bullish momentum across the broader altcoin market. Until then, price remains trapped in a narrowing range, testing both trader patience and liquidity depth. Meanwhile, on-chain data supports the bullish case. According to blockchain analytics platform Arkham, whales have ramped up their accumulation, with large addresses steadily adding to their ETH holdings in recent days. This ongoing accumulation trend reflects growing conviction among high-cap players and adds weight to the possibility of further upside in the months ahead. Whale Receives Ethereum From Galaxy OTC As Institutions Double Down Ethereum’s bullish narrative gained further momentum this week after Arkham disclosed a massive on-chain transaction involving a major institutional player. A fresh wallet address—0xdf0A67Ded855F8ea4baB6399690883243c0e2EF3—just received $153 million worth of ETH, purchased directly through Galaxy Digital’s over-the-counter (OTC) desk. The scale and nature of this transaction suggest growing institutional conviction in Ethereum’s long-term potential. This isn’t just another whale move. The fact that the ETH was funneled into a new wallet from a regulated OTC provider underscores the strategic accumulation taking place behind the scenes. As traditional finance increasingly integrates with crypto, Ethereum’s utility, programmability, and future role in tokenized finance are making it a high-conviction play among institutional allocators. This heavy buy comes after a prolonged period of weakness. Earlier this year, ETH suffered persistent selling pressure, with price action sliding lower for months. Retail interest faded, and sentiment turned bearish. But while the public panicked, sophisticated players appear to have taken the other side of the trade—accumulating quietly during the downturn.

Despite recent price volatility, ETH has remained above its 50- and 100-period moving averages, currently near $3,756 and $3,629, respectively. This suggests that bullish momentum is still intact in the short term. Volume has picked up slightly, indicating rising interest from traders as ETH tests this critical horizontal resistance. The price has failed to close decisively above this level multiple times since July 25, highlighting its significance. However, the consistent higher lows forming over the past week point to building buying pressure beneath the surface.

Crypto analyst Dark Defender has provided an update on his XRP price wave structure. He revealed that the altcoin is now in wave 4 and highlighted the targets and support levels that market participants should watch out for at the altcoin’s current price level. Wave 4 For The XRP Price In Progress In an X post, Dark Defender stated that wave 4 is in progress for the XRP price. He added that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) also reflects the 4th wave consolidation. The analyst had also stated that the altcoin has completed Waves 1, 2, and 3. His accompanying chart showed that the altcoin could again retest the $3 support level as part of a corrective move to the downside. Related Reading: XRP Won’t See Devastating Pullback Because ‘The Train Has Left The Station’ A successful hold above this support level, $3.07 specifically, is expected to trigger the next impulsive move to the upside for the XRP price. Dark Defender predicts that the altcoin could rally to as high as $5.8563 on this Wave 5 impulsive move. He added that the targets are $3.61, the current all-time high (ATH), and then $5.85, which would mark a new ATH for XRP. Crypto analyst Javon Marks had also recently predicted that the XRP price could soon rally to a new ATH. He noted that the altcoin is holding well, far above the $2.47 support level, meaning that the next target is $4.804. The analyst added that a break above this $4.804 level could spark another rally to $7.138. A rally to $7.138 will represent a surge of 128.78% from the current XRP price level. It is worth noting that the altcoin is already up over 35% year-to-date (YTD), rising to the third largest crypto by market cap in the process. All Eyes On XRP’s Monthly Close In an X post, crypto analyst Egrag Crypto remarked that the focus is on the XRP price staying above $3.03 for the monthly close. He noted that a close above this level would mark the first-ever historical candle close above this level in XRP’s journey. As such, he declared that market participants could soon witness history in the making. Related Reading: Prepare For ATHs: ‘XRP Train Has Left The Station – Analyst If the XRP price achieves the monthly close above $3.03, Egrag Crypto stated that a rally to the Chasm at $8.9 is the minimum target for the altcoin in this market cycle. He also suggested that XRP could surpass this target and declared that this is where the “real fun” starts. His accompanying chart showed that a rally to as high as $32 was also on the cards. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $3.14, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
