Apart from Sun, other whales have been actively selling their ETH. A recent post by Whale Alert shows that 9,011 ETH ($35.34 million) was transferred from an unknown wallet to Coinbase. Amid the backdrop of this, the asset is testing the upper boundary of a massive triangle formation. According to 10x Research, this signifies a bullish outlook. Per the analysis, ETH is in line to hit $4,092 and advance towards the $4,812 all-time high price.
Currently, the Ethereum Open Interest (OI) has increased by 9.34%. Meanwhile, $89 million in liquidations have also been witnessed in the last 24 hours. Out of this, $60 million was in short positions and $29 million in long positions.
According to Ali Martinez, Ethereum’s network activities have also reached a significant height as more than 134,000 new addresses continue to be created daily.
Subjecting the asset to critical analysis, an analyst identified as Jelle has disclosed that a successful breach of the March high would imply that ETH would not have a long consolidation period before breaching the all-time high price.
For a renowned crypto analyst Venturefounder, ETH is approaching a breakout from a three-year-long triangle consolidation pattern. Additionally, the asset could break out of a seven-year trading range to imitate the 2016-2017 price behavior. In this case, ETH could hit $15,937 by May 2025, according to Venturefounder.
