Key Takeaways
- ETH rebounds from multi-year support while MACD prints golden cross, echoing a setup that preceded a 250% surge in 2025.
- Analyst Cryptorand identifies $2,400 as the threshold ETH must maintain to validate a bullish reversal.
- Ethereum’s apparent demand reached a 90-day peak at 24,111 ETH on April 14.

Ethereum (ETH) currently trades around $2,325, posting a 4% gain across the previous seven-day period. Market analysts are observing technical formations that bear striking resemblance to a setup that materialized during mid-2025.
Weekly chart analysis reveals ETH testing an ascending trend line that has provided support dating back to 2022. Simultaneously, the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) indicator has produced a bullish crossover—the identical configuration that appeared before a 250% price surge in 2025.
Market analyst Max Crypto shared on X: “Similar structure. Similar dump. Similar consolidation. What if $ETH repeats the Q2/Q3 2025 rally?” Should this pattern continue, a potential advance toward $6,300 becomes plausible.
Analyst Cryptorand emphasized that ETH must “cross the key $2,400 range” and establish consolidation above this level to “trigger the bullish reversal.”
Analyst Ali Charts drew attention to the MACD configuration, observing that the previous three instances when the indicator generated a golden cross on Ethereum resulted in price advances of 130%, 74%, and 98% respectively.
Growing Demand and Institutional Participation
Ethereum’s apparent demand metric, monitored by Capriole Investments, shifted positive on April 8 and climbed to a 90-day peak of 24,111 ETH on April 14. This development coincided with optimism surrounding a potential US-Iran trade agreement that boosted overall investor confidence.
CryptoQuant analyst Arab Chain observed that the ETH Coinbase Premium Index—which tracks the price differential between Coinbase and Binance—climbed to 0.055, reaching its highest reading since October 2025. He characterized this as evidence of “increased demand from institutional investors, particularly in the US market.”
Spot Ethereum ETFs registered net inflows throughout three consecutive trading sessions, accumulating $160 million. Global Ethereum ETPs similarly attracted $196.5 million in inflows during the previous week.
Network Fundamentals
The ETH/BTC ratio climbed to 0.0313 on Wednesday, marking a three-month peak. New participants joining the Ethereum network jumped 82% quarter-over-quarter during Q1 to reach 284,000, while total transactions achieved a record 200.4 million—representing a 43% quarterly expansion.
Stablecoin supply on Ethereum touched an all-time peak of $180 billion. The network commands approximately 60% of the worldwide stablecoin market.
Despite these encouraging indicators, ETH continues trading more than 50% beneath its 52-week peak of $4,831. Analysts suggest the ratio must recapture 0.035 on a weekly closing basis to validate a sustainable recovery.
Santiment reported that wallets containing 0.01 ETH or less reduced holdings by 1,791 ETH ($4.16M) during the past two days, with smaller retail participants seemingly viewing the recent 17% advance since March 29 as a bull trap.
