TL;DR
- Numerous analysts foresee ETH gearing up for a significant move, setting price targets above $3,000.
- Spot ETH ETFs have attracted steady inflows, indicating strong investor sentiment. At the same time, increasing exchange netflows hint at possible short-term selling pressure.
What’s Next?
The price of Ethereum has risen over 40% in the past month, currently trading just north of $2,550. However, numerous market observers believe this is only the beginning of a major rally that may last in the near future.
Michael van de Poppe assumed that the sub $2,400 levels observed a few weeks ago resembled “an incredibly good buying opportunity.” He thinks ETH will start “attacking the highs” in the short term, claiming that a breakout above $3,000 could mark the beginning of a new bull run.
The X users, Sensei and Lucky, also gave their two cents. The former noted that the price has recently consolidated between $2,400 and $2,700, envisioning a move to the upside and a pump beyond $3,200.
Lucky, a popular analyst with more than 2.2 million followers, revealed that ETH has been “heavily outperforming” BTC in the current quarter. The analyst sees this momentum continuing and expects further price growth for the second-largest cryptocurrency.
For his part, Merlijn The Trader shared a chart showing that ETH inflows into accumulation wallets have surged in the past few days. “Something big is coming. You don’t stack like this unless you know what’s next. And what’s next isn’t normal, it’s historic,” the analyst predicted.
Known for their steady inflows and minimal outgoing transactions, accumulation wallets are closely watched by analysts and traders for signs of investor confidence and long-term positioning.
Keep an Eye on These Important Factors
The recent inflows into spot Ethereum ETFs suggest that ETH could indeed be on the verge of a further price upswing. SoSoValue data indicates that in the past few days, these funds have attracted more capital than they’ve lost, reflecting a boost in investor confidence. In fact, the last date when netflows were negative was May 15.
On the contrary, exchange netflows have been predominantly positive in the past week. This suggests that some investors have shifted from self-custody towards centralized exchanges, which increases the immediate selling pressure.
