The rise in Ethereum whale activity supports this view. According to LookonChain, a major whale recently withdrew 1,897 ETH (worth over $3 million) from Bitget, indicating a move toward self-custody.

Since April 3, this same whale has withdrawn a total of 3,844 ETH valued at $6.51 million, suggesting long-term confidence in Ether price potential.
CryptoQuant data also highlights a decline in ETH held on exchanges, now at levels last seen in October 2024, right before Ethereum climbed toward $4,000. This drop in supply typically hints at reduced selling pressure and an upcoming price lift-off.
Popular crypto trader Merlijn also hinted bullish signal on X, suggesting that the ETH price is “about to launch”. He warned that ignoring this accumulation phase could be “the biggest mistake of 2025”.

ETH Price Ready for a Breakout?
At the time of writing, Ether is trading around $1,648 with a market cap of $198.6 billion. On the daily ETH price chart, the RSI currently sits at 45.49, climbing out of oversold territory but still leaving plenty of room before for bulls.

The price is testing the middle Bollinger band (20-day SMA), currently around $1,632. A clean breakout above the midline and eventual test of the upper band near $1,827 would suggest stronger bullish momentum.
However, if Ether fails to hold the middle band, the lower band at $1,437 would act as the key support level.
The MACD indicator has recently started turning bullish, with the MACD line above the signal line. Meanwhile, green histogram bars also hint at bullish momentum .

Key resistance remains at $1,830 and $2,000, with a crucial supply wall at $2,330, beyond which Martinez predicts a bull rally.
