Ethereum is back in sharp focus across the crypto market following a recent 
rally to $2,800 that has added fresh layers of bullish momentum to its long- 
term narrative. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trying to register a 
footing above $2,500, but this subdued price action masks what an analyst is 
calling one of the most critical technical and on-chain moments in Ethereum’s 
recent history. Ethereum Weekly Engagement Hits Record High According to 
Crypto Patel, a crypto analyst on the social media platform X, Ethereum&#8217;s 
weekly engagement has reached an all-time high, surpassing all previous peaks 
seen since 2022. The accompanying chart below shows a steep rise in the number 
of unique addresses interacting with Ethereum’s ecosystem. Related Reading: Is

According to the most recent data, the number of weekly active addresses 
stands at 17.4 million, representing an increase of almost 17% in just seven 
days. Notably, May 2025 saw the most significant growth in engagement, with 
each of the past three weeks witnessing at least 15 million active addresses. 
Meanwhile, the Layer 2 multiplier, which reflects adoption across Ethereum’s 
scaling solutions, has climbed to 7.55x, marking an 18.63% jump over the same 
period. Crypto Patel described the development as impossible to ignore, adding 
that the momentum is building fast, and warned followers to stay ready as 
Ethereum prepares for what could be a dramatic next leg up. “It’s impossible 
to ignore $ETH right now,” he remarked. Despite a minor 4.31% decline in 
cross-chain activity in the past seven days, the overall engagement trend 
confirms that more users are entering the Ethereum ecosystem. Analyst Predicts 
$9,000 To $10,000 ETH Price Target Complementing this on-chain momentum is a 
broader technical perspective offered by another crypto analyst known as 
XForceGlobal on the social media platform X. In a detailed Elliott Wave 
analysis also shared on X, the analyst noted that Ethereum has successfully 
completed a complex corrective structure and is now poised to enter a powerful 
new impulsive phase. According to the chart, the bearish scenario has been 
invalidated by recent price behavior, and a new bullish cycle is now underway 
as Ethereum is currently playing out a bullish B wave. Related Reading:

bullish B wave plays out as expected, XForceGlobal projects a major price 
surge with a target range between $9,000 and $10,000 for Ethereum. 
Specifically, the analyst identified a $9,410 price target for sometime in the 
next year. However, the analyst outlines a hypothetical fallback to the $576 
zone if the C corrective wave unfolds. Nonetheless, the current wave structure 
shows an increased likelihood of Ethereum surging higher rather than breaking 
down. The analyst concluded by stating, “We can now confidently scrap the 
bearish case. The impulse opened the door for potential new highs.” At the 
time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,493 with a recent intraday high of 
$2,537. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
