Ethereum (ETH), the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency, has experienced considerable price fluctuations recently, trading at approximately $2,633 at the time of writing. The asset registered a mild decline of 1.2% over the past 24 hours, retreating slightly after surpassing the $2,700 mark last week.
Despite this short-term retracement, Ethereum has notably appreciated by around 50% within the past month, demonstrating strong price strength and significant market interest.
The recent price action has attracted attention from prominent cryptocurrency analysts, particularly from CryptoQuant contributors, who have closely monitored Ethereum’s technical indicators and market behaviors.
These analysts have provided insights that suggest potential further movement for ETH, pointing towards critical levels and market metrics that investors might want to observe closely.
Ethereum’s Bullish Technical Indicators and Potential Breakout
CryptoQuant analyst Ibrahim Cosar recently published a technical analysis outlining a bullish scenario for ETH. According to Cosar, Ethereum has formed a pattern known as a “bull flag,” suggesting a possible upcoming breakout.
A bull flag is a chart formation frequently interpreted by traders as indicative of continuing upward momentum after a period of consolidation. Ethereum’s price has oscillated within a defined range between $2,400 and $2,700 for nearly three weeks, creating favorable conditions for such a breakout.
Cosar also highlighted Ethereum’s sustained position above the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), a commonly monitored technical indicator. Historically, remaining consistently above this indicator has signified positive market sentiment and preceded significant price rallies.
Given Ethereum’s current position relative to this EMA, Cosar suggested a potential upward move toward a price range between $3,000 and $3,500 could soon materialize.
Market-Wide Implications and Retail Activity
Another CryptoQuant analyst known as “elcryptotavo” offered a complementary perspective, identifying signals that typically indicate market peaks.
Specifically, the analyst mentioned Ethereum’s Open Interest (OI), noting that a notable market signal occurs when Ethereum’s OI surpasses Bitcoin’s, a scenario historically correlated with market tops.
Currently, ETH has yet to reach this critical threshold, suggesting, according to this analyst, potential room for further upside before significant corrections could occur.
Elcryptotavo also provided observations regarding retail trading behaviors. Typically, retail trading activity surges dramatically near market tops, reflecting broad market participation. However, current data on retail trading volumes remain comparatively subdued.
This observation implies that institutional investors or large market players are predominantly driving Ethereum’s current rally. A significant increase in retail participation, should it occur, could further sustain and accelerate Ethereum’s upward momentum, a phenomenon previously seen during the 2020–2021 bull cycle.

Meet Samuel Edyme, Nickname – HIM-buktu. A web3 content writer, journalist, and aspiring trader, Edyme is as versatile as they come. With a knack for words and a nose for trends, he has penned pieces for numerous industry player, including AMBCrypto, Blockchain.News, and Blockchain Reporter, among others.
Edyme’s foray into the crypto universe is nothing short of cinematic. His journey began not with a triumphant investment, but with a scam. Yes, a Ponzi scheme that used crypto as payment roped him in. Rather than retreating, he emerged wiser and more determined, channeling his experience into over three years of insightful market analysis.
Before becoming the voice of reason in the crypto space, Edyme was the quintessential crypto degen. He aped into anything that promised a quick buck, anything ape-able, learning the ropes the hard way. These hands-on experience through major market events—like the Terra Luna crash, the wave of bankruptcies in crypto firms, the notorious FTX collapse, and even CZ’s arrest—has honed his keen sense of market dynamics.
When he isn’t crafting engaging crypto content, you’ll find Edyme backtesting charts, studying both forex and synthetic indices. His dedication to mastering the art of trading is as relentless as his pursuit of the next big story. Away from his screens, he can be found in the gym, airpods in, working out and listening to his favorite artist, NF. Or maybe he’s catching some Z’s or scrolling through Elon Musk’s very own X platform—(oops, another screen activity, my bad…)
Well, being an introvert, Edyme thrives in the digital realm, preferring online interaction over offline encounters—(don’t judge, that’s just how he is built). His determination is quite unwavering to be honest, and he embodies the philosophy of continuous improvement, or “kaizen,” striving to be 1% better every day. His mantras, “God knows best” and “Everything is still on track,” reflect his resilient outlook and how he lives his life.
In a nutshell, Samuel Edyme was born efficient, driven by ambition, and perhaps a touch fierce. He’s neither artistic nor unrealistic, and certainly not chauvinistic. Think of him as Bruce Willis in a train wreck—unflappable. Edyme is like trading in your car for a jet—bold. He’s the guy who’d ask his boss for a pay cut just to prove a point—(uhhh…). He is like watching your kid take his first steps. Imagine Bill Gates struggling with rent—okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but you get the idea, yeah. Unbelievable? Yes. Inconceivable? Perhaps.
Edyme sees himself as a fairly reasonable guy, albeit a bit stubborn. Normal to you is not to him. He is not the one to take the easy road, and why would he? That’s just not the way he roll. He has these favorite lyrics from NF’s “Clouds” that resonate deeply with him: “What you think’s probably unfeasible, I’ve done already a hundredfold.”
PS—Edyme is HIM. HIM-buktu. Him-mulation. Him-Kardashian. Himon and Pumba. He even had his DNA tested, and guess what? He’s 100% Him-alayan. Screw it, he ate the opp.
