The year 2024 turned out to be bullish for the cryptos, with new tokens gaining massive profits along with Bitcoin & Ethereum. While Bitcoin managed to mark a new ATH above $108K, Ethereum failed to sustain above $4000. Meanwhile, the sluggish trend of the ETH price rally failed to disappoint the market participants as they continued to be bullish on the second-largest token. Therefore, the price is expected to revamp a strong upswing in the upcoming days that could elevate the levels beyond $5000 soon.
Besides, the big moves in the world of spot ETFs have been recorded as BlackRock’s ETH holdings now surpass 1M ETH worth over $3.6B. The institutions are accumulating millions of ETH every day and on the other hand, the whales also accumulated huge amounts of ETH during the recent dip. As per the reports, an Ethereum whale accumulated more than $77 million ETH, which hints towards a potential rally for the token in 2025.
The rise in the accumulation during the latest dip suggests the trading strategy of the bulls, who remain bullish on ETH but under the shadows. The traders are not openly backing the token by inducing the required liquidity but eventually holding the price above the crucial support zone. This suggests the bulls are vigilant and may regain their dominance very soon; that may not only trigger a fine ETH rally but also a potential altseason.
What to Expect From the ETH Price Rally in Q1 2025?
Historically, the ETH price has always managed to attract significant gains in the first few weeks of the year and hence more possibilities of yet another bull run can be expected in the coming weeks. On the other hand, Bitcoin dominance has always seen a drop in the first few days of January, which has triggered a fine upswing in the ETH price rally. Presently, the price seems to have reached the end of the consolidation and hence a strong rebound could be fast approaching.
The weekly chart of Ethereum is incremental as the token forms constant higher highs and lows and despite a major hindrance at $4000, the bulls are poised to elevate the levels to $5000 in the first few weeks of 2025. Meanwhile, the weekly MACD displays a drop in the buying pressure, but the RSI is undergoing a parabolic recovery. Therefore, the price may witness a small drop to $3200, which could attract more buying volume and later trigger a healthy upswing beyond the crucial resistance at $4100.
In the meantime, a bearish crossover with the MACD & signal line needs to be prevented that could keep up the possibility of a healthy ascending trend and eventually mark a new ATH above $5000 soon.
