Ethereum is on the verge of reclaiming the $4,000 level as it inches closer to its all-time highs. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap has faced skepticism throughout this cycle, with some analysts predicting it would underperform compared to its previous bull runs. However, Ethereum has surprised doubters, steadily climbing in recent weeks despite market uncertainty.<\/span><\/p>\n

Key on-chain metrics from Glassnode reveal an important trend that could fuel further price gains: Ethereum whales have been accumulating aggressively since late November.

Ethereum Mega-Whale Balances Grow<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ethereum has experienced a steady, albeit modest, rally since November 5, but it seems the real fireworks for ETH are yet to ignite. As Bitcoin soars into price discovery and several altcoins outperform expectations, Ethereum investors are searching for clear signals of an impending bull run for the second-largest cryptocurrency.<\/span><\/p>\n

Key on-chain data shared by top analyst Ali Martinez on X<\/a> provides intriguing insights into Ethereum\u2019s current state. Martinez highlights that Ethereum whales\u2014entities holding significant amounts of ETH\u2014have been accumulating aggressively since the price broke above the $3,330 level.<\/span><\/p>\n

This accumulation trend suggests that smart money is positioning itself for what could be a massive upward move in the months ahead. Historically, whale accumulation has often been a precursor to strong price rallies, as these large investors tend to anticipate major market shifts before retail traders.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the narrative isn\u2019t entirely bullish. While whale accumulation may signal confidence, it also raises concerns about a potential bull trap. These large holders could quickly pivot, offloading their ETH for other assets if market conditions shift or if Bitcoin\u2019s dominance suppresses altcoin growth. Such a move could catch smaller investors off guard, leading to sharp corrections.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Ethereum, holding above critical levels like $3,800 while breaking key resistances could be the catalyst needed to spark a true bull run. Until then, ETH remains a watchlist favorite, balancing potential and uncertainty.<\/span><\/p>\n

Price Testing Crucial Resistance<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $3,950, struggling to break above the crucial $4,000 resistance level for several days. Despite this, the price remains resilient, signaling strong market support. Clearing this level is essential to confirm the continuation of the uptrend, as $4,000 represents a psychological barrier and a key resistance zone for the asset.<\/span><\/p>\n

If Ethereum fails to breach the $4,000 mark, a retrace toward lower demand zones around $3,500 could be expected. This level has served as strong support in recent weeks, providing a cushion during periods of increased selling pressure. A pullback to this area could allow for renewed buying momentum, setting the stage for another attempt to break higher.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, recent market dynamics suggest Ethereum may be poised for a significant move upward. Bitcoin’s surge into price discovery and growing optimism around altcoins have created a bullish environment. With whales continuing to accumulate ETH, as highlighted by on-chain data, market participants are increasingly confident in Ethereum\u2019s ability to retest and surpass its all-time highs.<\/span><\/p>\n
