Ethereum (ETH) has maintained upward mobility over the past week despite market players maintaining caution over the asset’s underwhelming performance over the previous months.

Having successfully sustained momentum over the $2,000 price level, the second-largest crypto by market cap has become more attractive to traders and investors alike.

Sharing his bullish outlook for ETH, pseudonymous analyst Ali_Chart, most known for summarizing emerging price trends, took to X, formerly Twitter, to disclose his most recent observation.

“If Ethereum ETH breaks above the $2,588 resistance, it could trigger a bullish move toward $3,000.” The analyst wrote, as a caption atop a candlestick technical chart pattern displaying a steady increase in buying pressure over the past day.

On a fundamental level, Ethereum has hit a notable milestone due to continued accumulation over a long period. According to data from Santiment, Ethereum’s ratio of coins on exchanges has dropped to an all-time low, suggesting a growing demand for Ether.

Per Santiment’s report; 

“Ethereum has under 4.9% of its supply on exchanges for the first time in its 10+ year history, since November 2018.” 

Remarkably, over the last 5 years, ETH accumulation has increased rapidly, resulting in a 15.3 million reduction in the total number of Ether on exchanges.

At press time, ETH is trading at $2,655 per coin. Although ETH sustained mild losses over the last 7 days, 30-day gains remain above 59%. $2,750 and $2,850 are still key crucial resistance levels to watch out for, and a break above these prices could position ETH for a rally to the $3,000 price mark.
