Ethereum Hits 4-Month High in Network Growth: 126,210 New Wallets Created
Ethereums network growth has recently hit a notable milestone, as reported by Santiment, marking a 4-month high on a day usually considered one of the least active. This past Sunday, 126,210 new wallets were created, a significant indicator of growing network utility.
Such a spike in activity is seen as a precursor to potential price movements within the $2,200-$2,300 range, suggesting a rise in Ethereums overall market influence.
Simultaneously, data from IntoTheBlock reveals that Ethereums largest holders have continued to increase their stake since 2019. This ongoing accumulation trend surged in early 2023, in tandem with Ethereums Shanghai upgrade, highlighting the growing confidence in the blockchains future.
Currently, these major holders control over 43% of the circulating supply, gradually closing in on the 48% held by retail investors. This shift in supply dynamics demonstrates the growing presence of whales in the market, which could further shape price movements in the coming months.
Crypto Analyst Predicts Ethereum Breakout
Ethereums potential for a price breakout seems increasingly likely as it hovers near the local bottom of its current valuation. Having experienced a five-month downward trend since March, many believe the digital asset is poised for a reversal.
Analyst Michaël van de Poppe offered his perspective in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating that ETHs bullish divergence remains intact, and the recent formation of a higher low may be the catalyst needed to break the ongoing downtrend.
Van de Poppes optimism is shared by a growing number of market watchers, many of whom expect that an upward breakout would benefit Ethereum and lift the entire cryptocurrency market.
The overall market environment has shown signs of improvement, with macroeconomic conditions stabilizing after a relatively stagnant summer for crypto assets. Ethereums behavior, combined with this resurgence in new wallets and institutional accumulation, suggests that the asset could enter a renewed strength phase.
Investors and traders are keenly watching for signs of a reversal; moves above key resistance levels might mark the end of the downtrend in the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, heralding the beginning of a new bullish phase.
However, the battle for Ethereum is closely knitted to its internal developments and wider market forces, and coming weeks are expected to call a shot for the near-term future of the blockchain.
