Ethereum is moving upward again after a recent drop from its previous peak of $4,800. The cryptocurrency’s price is now approaching $4,500 as large holders, known as “whales,” continue to accumulate more ETH.
Recent data from Santiment indicates that major Ethereum holders, including those with holdings between 1,000 and 100,000 ETH, have increased their balances by 14% over the past five months. This accumulation trend has reinforced ETH’s position in the market after its recent dip.
“Ethereum has crept back up to nearly $4.5K, with accumulation coming from the key ‘millionaire’ and ‘small billionaire’ whales and sharks that hold between 1K and 100K $ETH. In exactly 5 months, they have added 14.0% more coins,” noted Santiment in its latest social media update.
Market analysts are watching for higher price targets if the trend continues. According to expert Donald Dean, “$ETHUSD Ethereum – Breakout. Price Targets: $5,766, $6,658, $9,547. ETH is starting a breakout of the descending wedge and is on its way to challenge previous highs at $4,955. The next target is $5,766 at a 50% retracement of the ETH/BTC ratio. Then it is $6,658 at the 618 Fib level and $9,547 for a 100% retrace of the ETH/BTC ratio.”
According to CoinCodex ETH data, Ethereum could rise by 11.5% to reach around $4,937.86 by early October 2025. The platform’s technical indicators show neutral sentiment and a score of 51 on the Fear & Greed Index, reflecting a balanced outlook among investors. In the last 30 days, Ethereum recorded positive performance in 14 out of 30 days, with a price volatility of 6.54%.
The recent whale activity and accumulation patterns have become a focus for traders and analysts as Ethereum looks to recover and potentially surpass previous highs in the months ahead.
