Ether could rise as high as $3,500 in the coming days, fueled by rising balances in Ethereum accumulation wallets and a strengthening technical structure. Ethereum accumulation addresses witnessed a surge in daily inflows on Wednesday, suggesting growing confidence in Ether’s (ETH) long-term price trajectory following its latest rise to $2,400. Key takeaways: Ether’s investor confidence has returned following its 39% recovery from a multi-year low below $1,750.
Ether charts flash an ominous triple-top pattern as ETH fails to overcome $2,400. Will bears maintain control over the altcoin’s price action? Ether (ETH) fell 3.4% to $2,287 on Monday, after its fourth rejection at the $2,400 level since April 14. The price continues to trade below the 100-day moving average, with over $2.5 billion in liquidation risk concentrated near the $2,150 support zone. Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe also flagged weakness in Ether relative to Bitcoin, raising doubts about the strength of any near-term uptrend. Ether has failed to break $2,400 four times over the past two weeks, forming a clear triple top pattern on the daily chart. Each retest saw a loss of strength near that level, suggesting supply absorption by sellers.
ETH derivatives show strong buyer dominance, leading traders to target $2,500 to $2,600 as the next crucial rally. Ether (ETH) futures on Binance have risen to a near two-month high as aggressive buyers stepped into the market over the past week. Buy-taker volume rose above $5 billion, and the current setup suggests the ETH rally is poised to continue. On Binance, the 24-hour cumulative net taker volume reached $5.5 billion, rising 72% from $3.2 billion earlier in the month. The metric tracks the difference between market buy and sell orders, indicating who is driving price action. The 30-day average has stayed positive since March 1, returning to levels last seen in July 2022. The positive readings point to consistent buyer aggression.

The Kelp DAO attacker has moved $175 million of stolen Ether in an apparent bid to start laundering it after the $290 million exploit. The attacker behind the roughly $290 million Kelp DAO exploit began moving tens of thousands of Ether to newly created blockchain addresses on Tuesday, in what appears to be an effort to start laundering the stolen funds. The wallet tagged by Arkham as linked to the Kelp DAO exploit moved about 75,700 Ether (ETH) worth roughly $175 million across three transactions on Tuesday, including a 25,000 ETH transfer to one newly created address and transfers of 50,700 ETH and 0.7 ETH to another. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT wrote in a Tuesday Telegram post that addresses tied to the exploit had begun moving funds through THORChain and Umbra. He flagged three THO…
A confirmed cup-and-handle breakout on Ether’s chart and a double-digit increase in ETH accumulation wallet balances could be earlier signs of a longer-term rally for the altcoin. Ether’s (ETH) rally to $2,400 is nearly 38% above its swing low at $1,750, but is ETH’s price move simply a momentum trade, or do longer-term data points suggest a paradigm shift at play? Ether’s recent rally was preceded by an 89% surge in daily active addresses (DAA), which jumped to 730,278 from 384,763 on April 5. The increase in Ethereum’s active addresses indicates increased user interaction with the network, which is generally a positive.
Schwab will introduce direct trading in the two biggest cryptos through a dedicated account, its first move into spot trading as it expands its digital asset offerings. Charles Schwab, one of the largest US brokerage firms, will roll out spot cryptocurrency trading for retail clients in the coming weeks, starting with Bitcoin and Ether through a dedicated account linked to its brokerage platform. According to Thursday’s announcement, the offering will allow clients to trade and view crypto alongside stocks and other assets across Schwab’s web, mobile and Thinkorswim platforms, with custody held by its banking unit and execution handled through a partnership with Paxos, a federally regulated trust company. Schwab reported $12.22 trillion in total client assets as of February 2026, according…
Institutional investors are buying Ether again, but a handful of factors could slow market momentum and negatively impact ETH’s rally. Key takeaways: Institutional ETH accumulation remains robust as Ether ETFs and Bitmine Immersion lead a healthy, spot-driven recovery. Lackluster DApp revenue and negative ETH funding rates suggest that traders are skeptical of the rally.
Ether looks poised to gain a price advantage over BTC as the ETH/BTC ratio soars to a 10-week high. The ETH/BTC ratio has climbed to a 10-week high, suggesting that Ether (ETH) is gaining momentum against Bitcoin (BTC) in the charts. Ether’s footing has improved as clearer DeFi regulations from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) were applauded by the crypto community. At the same time, Bitmine has added 71,524 ETH to its Ether treasury on April 13. The ETH/BTC ratio broke through a descending trendline resistance that had been in place since August 2025. A daily close above this trend line marks the first breakout in months.
Bitmine chairman Tom Lee told Paris Blockchain Week that the recent crypto slump was a “mini crypto winter” and said Ether could climb above $60,000 over the next few years. Bitmine Immersion Technologies chairman Tom Lee said Wednesday that the recent crypto slump was a “mini crypto winter” that may already be ending, in comments that came shortly after the company disclosed a multibillion-dollar quarterly loss tied largely to unrealized markdowns on the company’s Ether holdings. During a keynote speech at Paris Blockchain Week 2026, Lee said that equity markets have bottomed due to the US-Israel war with Iran, and that Ether (ETH) will emerge from its “massive consolidation,” driven by tokenization and agentic artificial intelligence initiatives tied to the smart contract network. Lee ar…
Ether bounced off multi-year support, while a bullish MACD crossover could signal that ETH is on the path to new highs. Ether (ETH) is currently displaying a technical pattern that follows a 2025 fractal, in which Ether gained 250%. The weekly timeframe chart shows Ether retesting an ascending trend line that has supported the price since 2022. A bullish cross from the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) indicator also confirmed the price bottom. Ether’s current price action is following a similar pattern, with the price again bouncing off the same structural support and a confirmed bullish MACD crossover.
Large Ether investors are back in profit, increasing the chances of a rally toward $3,000, but resistance at $2,800 may delay the recovery. Ether's (ETH) rebound to $2,300 over the weekend put large investors back into profit but is this a sign that ETH may rally to $3,000? Data from TradingView shows that Ether’s price rose 20% to $2,330 on Saturday from its local low of $1,940 reached on March 29. The recovery was fueled by the US and Iran’s announcement of a two-week ceasefire and a strengthening market structure. The rebound has also pushed ETH whales into profitability, according to data from CryptoQuant.
While others refrain from boosting their Ether holdings, Bitmine's latest purchase gives it ownership of about 4% of total supply as the company expands its staking strategy. Bitmine Immersion Technologies said Monday that it purchased 71,524 Ether over the past week, bringing its total holdings to about 4.87 million tokens. The company said the position represents roughly 4.04% of the total Ether (ETH) supply, based on about 120.7 million tokens outstanding, as it continues to pursue a target of acquiring up to 5% of global supply. Its balance sheet also includes 198 Bitcoin (BTC) and about $719 million in cash. Bitmine said the latest purchase marks its fastest weekly pace of Ether accumulation since December 2025.
Bitcoin and Ether are each less than 10% away from price levels that could signal a potential reversal in the crypto market, according to a macro analyst. Bitcoin and Ether aren’t far from levels that could signal a trend reversal this year, despite a growing consensus across the industry calling for a bear market, according to macro analyst Jordi Visser. “If we trade above $76,000 and at the same time we see Ethereum above $2,400, I believe that is the beginning of a move that will be sustainable this year because I don't think we're going to have a recession,” Visser said on the Anthony Pompliano podcast published on YouTube on Friday. A move to $76,000 would represent an increase of 6.1% from Bitcoin’s (BTC) price of $71,646 at the time of publication, according to CoinMarketCap data. E…
Onchain and technical data hint that $1,800 may have been the macro price bottom for Ether. Is there sufficient bullish momentum for a rally to $3,000? Ether’s (ETH) recent sell-off was stopped at $1,800, as bulls aggressively defended the level. Ether’s rebound above $2,100, along with on-chain and technical data, suggests that traders will hold the price above $2,000 for the short-term. Key takeaways: Ether’s profitability metrics drop to levels that have historically marked local bottoms.
Lido’s institutional lead argues that more crypto treasury companies will need to incorporate liquid staking to outperform the returns generated by staked Ether ETFs. Ether treasury companies may need to use liquid staking and other active yield strategies if they want to offer investors something beyond the staking rewards already available through listed Ether products, Kean Gilbert, head of institutional relations at Lido, told Cointelegraph at ETHCC 2026. Liquid staking lets Ether (ETH) holders stake their tokens while receiving a transferable token that can still be deployed elsewhere in decentralized finance (DeFi). Gilbert said strategies such as posting ETH as collateral and borrowing against it could help treasury companies generate higher returns than passive staking products.
Fresh lows below $1,736 could be in store for Ether price if bulls fail to hold the altcoin’s price above an important ascending trendline. Ether (ETH) price may be at risk of a correction to new year-to-date lows, especially if the bulls fail to secure daily candle closes above the $2,150 to $2,400 range. Ether’s price action continues to be driven by US and global macroeconomic events, along with investors’ appetite for risk assets during the US and Israel-Iran war. As data shows more than $1 billion in futures-driven sell pressure, the chance of Ether falling below $1,800 rises. Repeat rejections near $2,150 continue to cap Ether rallies, and the level has acted as a strong resistance seven times over the past two months. The trend and its resistance dominate the price action, despite t…
Ether traders said ETH price could see further downside after bulls failed to defend the $2,000 support as signs of declining demand were apparent. Ether’s (ETH) drop below the $2,000 on Friday put it at risk of a deeper correction in the coming weeks or months. Key takeaways: Ether’s price shows structural weakness as it fails to hold above the $2,000 psychological support.
Spot ETF outlflows, falling DEX volumes and a declining ETH futures premium may be preventing Ether from rallying, but flipping them could catalyze a rally to $2,400. Key takeaways: Ether struggles to hold $2,400 due to low DEX volumes and declining demand for decentralized applications. Institutional investor-led outflows and weak futures premiums suggest that ETH lacks the bullish demand for a sustainable rally.
The number of Ether staked continues to rise while ETH outflows from exchanges are increasing. Will the phenomenon have a positive or negative impact on ETH price? Ether’s (ETH) liquid supply on the Ethereum network continues to tighten, with exchange netflows, rising staking participation, and declining exchange reserves all pointing to a shrinking pool of readily available tokens. Analysts suggest this supply contraction may mark the early stages of a “new phase,” potentially establishing a stronger structural price floor for ETH in the market cycles ahead. Ethereum’s staking share continues to rise, with about 38.1 million ETH locked on Wednesday, equal to roughly 33.1% of the total supply. Staking infrastructure provider Everstake noted that this is the highest level recorded, marking…
