- Ethereum’s active wallets increased by 9.5%, while the price increased by 24% from local lows.
- Developer activity is still high for Ethereum, surpassing that of other rival blocks in terms of code commits.
Ethereum (ETH) is heading toward a new high territory after establishing three significant factors for a bullish breakout. Increasing accumulation, consumer interest, and technical analysis signals suggest an upward move toward the second quarter of 2025.
Wallet Activity Surges as Price Recovers
Active wallets on Ethereum increased by 9.6% in two days, ascending from 306,211 to 336,366, according to Cryptoquant. The higher level may indicate that the decrease is being interpreted by those retaining the asset as a bullish signal. “Since Ether is the most important token in the Altcoin ecosystem, what would happen if its price explodes? The answer: very likely, the entire ecosystem would move with it,” Cryptoquant noted.
On April 22, the Ethereum price recorded a strong increase of $1,756. The 24% recovery from the local low indicates strong demand during periods of weakness. This move came ahead of soaring user activity within the network, thus pointing towards a growing demand-side pressure.
Developer Activity Reinforces Ethereum’s Strength
Ethereum continues to dominate in developers activity compared to competing layer ones such as Solana (SOL), Near protocol (NEAR), Cosmos (ATOM), and Sui (SUI). Ethereum recently deployed new inventions to reach 2,500 new codes, while its competitors deployed below 1,500 codes.
Overall, developer energy is closely associated with the strength of an ecosystem in the future. Higher commit activity points to continuous improvements in scalability, security, and feature development. These innovations are critical, especially in the progress of decentralized financing, NFTS, and layer two initiatives.
Bullish Technical Signals Strengthen Breakout Prospects
A golden cross has formed on Ethereum, where the near-term moving average overtook the long-term trend line. The formation is typically regarded as a bullish technical signal that may signal a shift in trends within a particular market.
ETH also broke the lower border of Ichimoku Cloud, which is also the set of lines indicating the probable further directions of a price movement. A breakout above the cloud would create opportunities for the target price to continue moving upwards.
In the daily chart, it is seen that the ETH has surpassed the long-term descending trend line. Immediate resistance is now at $2,000, with other higher levels at $2,400 and $2,800.
The analysts are aligning with the bullish model. According to the analysis made by Trader Bitcoinsensus, ETH’s monthly chart currently looks like a bull flag pattern, where prices hover near the lower boundary. He noted, “Ethereum is forming a massive bull flag pattern on the monthly time frame. Price is right now sitting on the channel’s lower band.”
Another popular analyst, TraderPA, pointed out that Ethereum is currently in the reaccumulation zone. He predicts Ethereum can reclaim $6,000 before the end of 2025, as expectations for the rest of the year are high among key cryptocurrencies.
