$8.6B Bitcoin whale transfer shows no signs of sell-off: Arkham

Ethereum is trading just above the $2,500 mark following days of volatility, 
choppy price action, and uncertainty across crypto markets. Despite the 
hesitation, bulls have held critical support, and the coming days are shaping 
up to be a defining moment for Ethereum and the broader altcoin space. 
Momentum is slowly shifting as investors look for confirmation that ETH will 
lead the next wave of upside action. Related Reading: No Room For Bears: 
Bitcoin Bullish MACD, Monthly Close Fuel Bullish Outlook Top analyst Ted 
Pillows has shared a bullish technical outlook, suggesting that a Wyckoff 
accumulation pattern is currently unfolding. According to Pillows, this 
structure resembles the early stages of major breakouts seen in past cycles 
and signals strong smart money positioning. He argues that Ethereum already 
played a key role in Bitcoin’s latest rally to new all-time highs, and now 
it’s Ethereum’s turn to shine. A sustained breakout above the $2,600–$2,700 
range could trigger the next phase of the cycle, with $3,000 in sight as the 
initial target. With market sentiment recovering and BTC consolidating near 
highs, traders and investors are closely watching Ethereum’s next move to 
gauge whether an altseason is around the corner. The setup is in place — but 
ETH must deliver. Ethereum Builds Strength Ethereum is up 82% from its April 
lows, demonstrating strong bullish control as the price holds firmly above key 
demand zones. Despite recent volatility, ETH continues to trade within a well- 
defined range between $2,400 and $2,700, a structure that has persisted since 
early May. This tight consolidation suggests the market is preparing for a 
decisive breakout, one that could define Ethereum’s trajectory for the 
remainder of the year. Ted Pillows reveals that Ethereum is now undergoing a 
classic Wyckoff accumulation pattern. According to his analysis, this phase 
marks the transfer of ETH from weak hands to strong hands, and it mirrors past 
cycle setups that led to explosive rallies. Pillows argues that Ethereum 
helped push Bitcoin to new all-time highs, and now it’s Ethereum’s turn to 
take the spotlight. If this pattern plays out, Pillows sees a clear path: 
first a breakout to $3,000, followed by a healthy correction, and then a push 
to $4,000 sometime in Q3. Beyond that, the real parabolic move may begin, 
driven by renewed confidence, broader altcoin participation, and sustained 
demand for ETH as a core asset in the crypto ecosystem. Related Reading: 
Solana Tests Rising Channel Support – Breakdown Could Send Price To $128.50 
Level ETH Holds Above Key Support Amid Tight Range Ethereum (ETH) is trading 
at $2,520, maintaining its position above critical support levels despite 
recent volatility. As shown in the 12-hour chart, ETH has acknowledged the 
$2,480–$2,500 zone multiple times since late May, signaling strong buyer 
interest at these levels. The price remains trapped within a tight 
consolidation range between $2,400 and $2,700, with no clear breakout yet in 
either direction. ETH is currently trading near its 50- and 100-period SMAs, 
which are converging around the current price, indicating equilibrium and a 
potential inflection point. The 200-period SMA sits below $2,200 and continues 
to trend upward, supporting the longer-term bullish structure. Related 
Reading: Chainlink Consolidates Above Key Support – Bulls Eye $20 Range Volume 
has remained relatively stable, with no spike suggesting institutional 
accumulation or mass distribution. For bulls to regain full momentum, ETH must 
reclaim the $2,600–$2,700 resistance and flip it into support. On the 
downside, a clean break below $2,480 could expose the $2,300 zone once again.
