Ethereum (ETH) seems to be on the edge of a mighty breakout, as both indicators and fundamentals point toward a renewed buildup of bullish momentum. For the first time since September 2024, Ethereum’s Daily Ichimoku Cloud—a resource trusted among tech analysts—now appears to be signaling a bullish reversal. Is $ETH gearing up for a breakout? For the first time since Sept 2024, Ethereum’s Daily Ichimoku is flashing signs of a potential reversal. Last time this happened, ETH went on a multi-week run. Will history rhyme again? Next 35–42 days could be critical. Thinking of… pic.twitter.com/O8HkPatEj7 — MisterSpread (@MisterSpread) April 29, 2025 Historically, when this indicator has turned positive as it has now, ETH has tended to embark on a sustained multi-week rally. Traders are now watching closely to see if Ethereum might once again follow in the footsteps of its own recent history. The Ichimoku Cloud tracking indicator follows three plot lines. A bullish cross on the indicator means that the leading plot lines have moved into a position where they indicate bullish price action. One of the clear formations that can occur on the indicator is when a line is seen coiling, which tends to happen when the market is in consolidation. During this event, if we then see the line coil in the opposite direction, it lets us know that the market has moved from consolidation into an impulse move. Whale Accumulation Sends a Strong Signal Increasingly, the bullish argument is being enriched by the sharp growth in whale accumulation. In just the past few hours, Ethereum whales have gobbled up about $50.24 million worth of ETH. These large holders are often precursors to big market moves, serving as early indicators of broader trends for us little fish. Ethereum whales are accumulating $ETH .

Experts now interpret these recent whale activities as giving a vote of confidence to Ethereum’s near-term outlook. These purchase amounts are so large that they give the appearance that some of the biggest players in our market believe Ethereum is currently an undervalued asset—again, positioning themselves for some kind of breakout. BlackRock and ETFs Fuel Institutional Confidence The institutional interest is also intensifying. BlackRock’s ETF for Ethereum, $ETHA, garnered attention this week after it bought up 90,950 ETH—worth around $161.9 million—within a brief window of just three days. This foray by the world’s biggest asset manager into direct holdings of Ethereum underscores a burgeoning appetite among institutional investors to invest directly in the digital asset. And we shouldn’t expect this to be a one-off movement. BlackRock's $ETHA bought 90,950 $ETH worth $161.9 million in the last 3 days! Still think #Ethereum won’t go up? With big money like this buying, #ETH could hit $10,000 very soon. Don’t miss this bull run! pic.twitter.com/5mWZkqoMD1 — Crypto Patel (@CryptoPatel) April 29, 2025 Launched in recent months, spot Ethereum ETFs continue to show growth that seems very promising. On April 28 alone, these ETFs recorded a net inflow of $64.12 million. This marks the third straight day of positive inflows and, according to many, seems to suggest a more steady rise in investor interest. While the retail side is still largely speculative, the institutional side of the market is now pricing in a likely ETF future—one that could bring more stability and long-term support to the space. Traditional investors can invest in Ethereum with these new products—exchange-traded funds—that comply with U.S. regulations. We don’t have to worry about managing wallets or private keys anymore. And as more capital flows into these kinds of vehicles, they lend even more legitimacy to the investment case for Ethereum. On April 28, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a total net inflow of $591 million, marking seven consecutive days of net inflows. Spot Ethereum ETFs saw a net inflow of $64.12 million, continuing a three-day streak of net inflows. https://t.co/Hj2Gs49bWa — Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) April 29, 2025 Eyes on $10,000: Is the Next Leg Up Imminent? Technical indicators are aligning, whale accumulation is aggressive, and institutional capital now seems to be flowing into Ethereum at scale. The price target that once seemed an outlier—$10,000—is now openly discussed across trading desks and on social media. Although markets are still uncertain, the present situation is very similar to previous breakout formats. When retail excitement, institutional focus, and technical robustness align, they usually create a kind of push that propels significant assets, such as ETH, into fresh spaces. Regardless of whether Ethereum experiences a breakout in the next few weeks or needs more time to build up support, the elements for a strong rally seem to already be in place. As long as the bullish indicators hold firm, attention will probably stay locked on Ethereum—not simply as a tech sandbox for cool stuff to happen but as a major investment vehicle in the still-evolving digital economy.
