Ethereum (ETH) Price on Cusp of at Least 40% Soon Catalyzed by Heightened Whale Activities

Since March 2024, Ethereum price has been forming a horizontal consolidation with a range between $2,162 and $4,090.

Key Notes

  • Ethereum has emerged as a top-tier alternative digital asset investment to Bitcoin for more institutional investors seeking to diversify their crypto portfolios.
  • The ongoing Bitcoin macro dominance reversal will trigger the much-anticipated altseason in the near term.

The market value of Ethereum ETH $3 326 24h volatility: 1.4% Market cap: $401.99 B Vol. 24h: $28.82 B against the US dollar has signaled a potential end to the recent wedge correction in the near term. After the top-tier altcoin rebounded strongly, following the recent drop below $3k, the bullish sentiment has significantly gained traction. Moreover, Ethereum’s fear and greed index rallied to 64 percent on Thursday, suggesting rising market greed.

From a technical analysis standpoint, Ethereum’s price has been consolidating in anticipation of the upcoming altseason. Already, Bitcoin’s dominance has been forming a macro reversal pattern, amid the ongoing crypto cash rotation to the altcoin industry.

The ETH/BTC pair has also been signaling a potential trend reversal after being trapped on a falling channel in the last two years. If Bitcoin price rallies towards a new all-time high in the near term, Ethereum price will follow suit, and most likely trigger the much-anticipated altseason.

If Ether’s price consistently closes above the macro resistance level around $4,090, the next major target will be its all-time high (ATH). Afterward, the thrilling and euphoric phase of the macro altcoin bull run will kickstart.

In case of further midterm correction, Ether price will find a solid support level above $2,160, which has been established in the last nine months.
