Ethereum Price Breaks Out Of Symmetrical Triangle, Next Stop $3,400?

by

As a seasoned researcher with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I have witnessed countless bull and bear runs, market crashes, and recoveries. However, the recent breakout of Ethereum from its symmetrical triangle pattern has piqued my interest more than any other event in recent memory.

The cost of Ethereum has recently burst free from a significant symmetrical triangle formation, which could suggest an impending rise exceeding $3,000. This latest breakout is viewed as a positive sign by analysts who have been closely monitoring Ethereum’s price trends over the last few months.

Ethereum Price Breaks Out Of Key Triangle Pattern

A well-known cryptocurrency analyst known as “TheMoonCarl” on platform X (previously Twitter) recently revealed that the price of Ethereum has broken free from its symmetrical triangle formation. In a post accompanied by a chart, he explained this technical pattern to his 1.3 million followers. He noted that the symmetrical triangle had been developing since August 2024 and could extend until December, potentially reaching a high point at that time.

Before Ethereum could reach the predetermined peak, its price burst through the upper boundary of the triangle, suggesting a possible bullish breakthrough to fresh highs. A symmetrical triangle is an important technical pattern that usually signals a phase of consolidation before a potential breakout, either downwards or upwards.

Regarding Ethereum, it’s been going through a significant phase of price consolidation, unlike the dramatic increases witnessed in Bitcoin and other digital currencies. However, due to the recent break of a triangle pattern, TheMoonCarl has proposed optimistic price predictions for Ethereum at approximately $3,400.

Initially, when the symmetrical triangle in Ethereum’s price chart broke, its value was approximately $2,707. Yet, at present, there’s been a 3.15% drop, causing the price to fall to around $2,629, as reported by CoinMarketCap. Despite this analyst’s bullish outlook with a prediction of Ethereum reaching $3,400, it needs to surge by nearly 29.91% to reach that target price.

TH Whales Are On The Move

Despite optimistic forecasts by analysts about Ethereum, supported by its recent emergence from a significant symmetric triangle structure, it appears that major investors, often known as “Whales,” have reentered the market.

24-hour tracker data from Whale Alert, a system that follows blockchain transactions and analytics, shows a significant Ethereum token transfer by a ‘whale’ (large investor). Specifically, this whale moved 12,590 ETH tokens, equivalent to around $33.8 million, from an unidentified wallet to Coinbase within the past day.

More recently, another significant Ethereum investor has shifted 8,452 ETH tokens worth approximately $22.4 million from an undisclosed wallet to Binance. Such transfers from personal wallets to a centralized exchange are often suggestive of potential token sales.

Although a significant sell-off might dampen Ethereum’s sluggish price advancement, it seems that large investors (whales) aren’t just transferring ETH to exchanges but possibly also stockpiling tokens. As per Whale Alert, a mystery whale has recently shifted 8,811 ETH from Binance to an unidentified wallet.

These multiple transactions create uncertainty about whether whales are selling more than they are buying. However, with Ethereum’s recent breakout from its symmetrical triangle pattern, bullish momentum could push prices higher, potentially encouraging more buying activity.
