Approaching Fresh All-Time High for ETH? Signal Hints at Possibility
In recent developments, a mysterious financial institution has been making headlines for its significant accumulation of Ethereum (ETH) over the past few weeks. Over a 10-day period, this institution has bought a staggering 379,317 ETH, worth a whopping $1.8 billion[1]. The latest addition to this collection includes the purchase of 33,402 ETH, valued at approximately $158 million, within the past few hours[2].
This institutional buying spree has not gone unnoticed, with various analysts suggesting that Ethereum may be heading towards a new historic price peak. According to data interpretations from sources like Lookonchain and others, there are multiple factors supporting this bullish outlook[3].
One key factor is the technical pattern observed in Ethereum's price movement. Analysts have identified an ascending triangle formation, a bullish technical pattern that has been developing over a 5-year cycle[1]. This pattern, considered the "primary bull case" for this cycle, suggests a breakout target near $16,700 by 2025-2026[1].
In addition to the technical patterns, increasing institutional adoption is expected to drive liquidity and price appreciation. The approval and inflows from Ethereum ETFs, custody solutions, and pension/hedge funds are likely to contribute to the price reaching the $8,000 to $10,000 range and beyond[3][4].
Ethereum's central role in decentralized finance (DeFi), Web3, and smart contracts adoption continues to strengthen its network effect and utility. Improvements in scalability and staking yields add to the positive outlook[2][3]. Despite some recent corrective moves and profit-taking by institutional holders, these are seen as temporary liquidity shocks rather than trend reversals[4].
At press time, Ethereum is trading at $4,760 per coin, having already surpassed the $4,700 price level this week[8]. The institution that has been buying Ethereum started this accumulation before the surge to $4,700 and continues to do so[6].
Another significant factor that could potentially drive up the price of Ethereum is the influx of stablecoins, specifically USDC, in the crypto market over the past month. Notably, Circle has minted an estimated 5.5 billion USDC on the Solana chain[5]. This influx is seen as a sign of new money entering the market, which could potentially support the price of major assets like Ethereum.
As always, investors should remain aware of market volatility and external macroeconomic factors that could influence outcomes. However, the collective data points suggest that Ethereum is well-positioned for a potential new historic price peak in the medium term, contingent on continued adoption, regulatory clarity, and ecosystem development.
