Ethereum 'Monster Move' Coming After Bitcoin Rally Is Done, Says Trader

Zinger Key Points
  • Ethereum’s price consolidation leads traders to see prices break $3,500 if ETH ETF outflows stagnate this week.
  • Onetrader noted that the ETH rally will kickstart an altcoin season.

Ethereum ETH/USD has traders still caught in two minds, with some anticipating a swift uptrend, while others think a “monster move” will happen only later this year.

What Happened: Prominent analyst Michaёl van de Poppe sees Ethereum consolidating at $3,100 and bouncing back up later. The trader predicted ETH seeing a break above $3,500 and a rally to $3,800-$4,000 based on the assumption that the outflows are stagnating during this week.

Another crypto trader thinks the pullback is complete and ETH will now go higher:

Crypto trader Smiley Capital pointed to altcoins for the largest ROI. He further sees a familiar pattern playing out, with traders giving up on Ethereum, deeming it an underperformer. However, when Bitcoin BTC/USD is done rallying, which he expects in Q4 of 2021 to Q1 of 2025, Ethereum will pull a “monster move” and pull altcoins along with it.

Why It Matters: CoinShares James Butterfill tweeted that the new Ethereum ETFs took in $1.18 billion in their first trading week, but significant outflows meant a net outflow of $338 million.

IntoTheBlock data shows a 9% increase in Ethereum daily active addresses, while 78% of Ethereum holders are making a profit at current levels. However, large transaction volumes dropped 44.1%. Whale alert data revealed 12,215 ETH, worth $41.2 million, were transferred from unknown wallet to Binance.
