Ethereum is predicted to soar up to 6,000 USD in the first quarter of 2025 thanks to a significant increase in the number of long-term holders in 2024. Analyst CryptoBullet stated on the ETH/USDT chart that Ethereum is forming a 'bull pennant' pattern, which could lead to a strong price increase. Meanwhile, James CryptoGuru pointed out the 'inverse head and shoulders' pattern, which, if completed, could push the price up to 8,100 USD. The percentage of ETH holders over one year has increased from 59% to 75% in 2024, while BTC has decreased from 70% to 62%. Additionally, cryptocurrency funds for Ether play a crucial role with an inflow of over 2.5 billion USD, expected to reach 50 billion USD by 2025. However, selling pressure from large 'whales' could impact the price of ETH. On December 28, the amount of ETH held by 'whales' dropped sharply from 220.88 thousand to just 14.45 thousand. At the time of writing, the price of ETH reached 3,413 USD, up 1%.
