Ethereum price has once again made a strong move surging past $4,000 in the last 24 hours and extending its weekly gains to over 9%. The breakout above this crucial resistance comes amid strong ETH whale accumulation supported by optimistic on-chain metrics. Market analysts are confident of Ethereum reaching a new all-time high soon. Ethereum Price Surge Amid Strong Whale Accumulation As per the blockchain analytics platform Santiment, the total number of Ethereum whale wallets, holding at least 100K ETH, has reached 104. Their combined holdings now account for 57.35% of the total ETH supply, worth a staggering $333.1 billion. Furthermore, 92% of ETH holders are currently profitable. On the other hand, wallets holding between 100 and 100K ETH have dropped to their lowest share of the supply in history at 33.46%. Similarly, smaller wallets with less than 100 ETH hold 9.19%, a near 4-year low. Santiment noted that the concentration of ETH among major stakeholders is a long-term bullish signal that can drive Ethereum price to all-time highs of around $5,000.

Ethereum’s “cup and handle” pattern is now playing out, signaling bullish momentum. The next key price targets include a retest of the all-time high (ATH) at $4,900, followed by milestones at $5,349, $6,457, and $7,238. Venturefounder predicts that this upward trajectory could materialize by the end of Q1 2025 at the latest.

Venturefounder maintains a bullish long-term Ethereum price target of $15,937, projecting this milestone achievement by May 2025. As Glassnode reported, Ethereum has outperformed Bitcoin and other altcoins like Solana on a 30-day chart. While the BTC price is up by 17.49%, ETH has gained 26.99% in the same period. Also, it notes that there’s a clear shift in top altcoins from Solana to Ethereum. The SOL price gains during the last 30 days stand at just 1.69%.

Analyst Venturefounder notes: “Nothing has changed for ETH/BTC. 2016-2017 bottom reversal pattern is repeating. Bottom is already made. Could be anytime now for the liftoff”. Furthermore, VanEck’s head of digital assets Matthew Sigel noted that similar to 2020, the ETH/BTC pair is all set to go parabolic.
