The article has analyzed quite thoroughly the current situation and potential development of Ethereum (ETH) in the near future, especially in 2025. Here are the key points and main prospects:
1. Ethereum faces Bitcoin:
• Bitcoin reached an ATH above $108,000, but Ethereum struggles to surpass $4,000.
• However, the stability and optimism from large investors have helped ETH maintain its growth momentum.
2. Strong accumulation from institutions and whales:
• BlackRock holds over 1 million ETH, worth more than $3.6 billion.
• A whale bought 22,919 ETH worth a total of $77 million, indicating strong confidence in the upcoming price surge.
• Data from Lookonchain also indicates that this whale's swing trades have an 84% win rate, with total profits of $4.57 million.
3. Expectations for a strong price increase in 2025:
• Q1 2025: ETH has a strong growth history in the early weeks of the year, potentially pushing the price above $5,000.
• Technical chart:
• The pattern of higher highs and higher lows indicates that the upward trend continues.
• Weekly MACD shows slight buying pressure, but RSI is recovering parabolically, signaling potential growth.
• A slight dip to $3,200 could create an opportunity to attract more investment capital before the price breaks through the resistance at $4,100 and reaches a new ATH.
4. Impact on Altcoin:
• As Bitcoin's dominance decreases, history shows that altcoins often receive strong capital inflows, leading to an Altcoin season. ETH is the leading factor, likely to trigger a growth cycle for the entire altcoin market.
Conclusion:
If technical factors and accumulated capital flows continue as they are, Ethereum not only has a chance to reach $5,000 but could also open an altcoin season in 2025. However, investors need to pay attention to risk factors, especially volatility from the ETF market and technical indicators like MACD.
