Ethereum’s CrossX Indicator Triggers Buy Signal As Institutional Money Floods In—Analysts Target $4K

Institutional whales are gobbling up ETH while retail traders stare at memecoins—classic.

The CrossX technical indicator just flashed its first buy signal since January, coinciding with a 22% surge in institutional Ethereum holdings. One hedge fund’s OTC desk reportedly snapped up $120M in ETH last week alone.

Meanwhile, crypto analysts are dusting off their $4,000 price targets. ’This isn’t 2021’s leverage frenzy,’ says Arcane Research’s Magnus Thor. ’Real money is building positions—the kind that doesn’t paper-hand at -5%.’

The kicker? Ethereum’s network activity remains sluggish. Nothing like billion-dollar bets outpacing actual usage to remind you this is crypto.

Institutions Load Up On ETH As Buy Signal Flashes

On-chain analytics platform, Lookonchain, has identified a notable increase in Ethereum accumulation, largely driven by institutional whales. Over the course of three hours, a wallet address reportedly associated with the trading firm Cumberland DRW withdrew a staggering 27,632 ETH, worth approximately $50.24 million. This transfer was made from major exchanges, including Coinbase, Copper and Binance.

The wallet’s activity involved multiple high-value transfers, such as a 7,600 ETH withdrawal worth $13.83 million from Coinbase, a 5,992 ETH withdrawal worth $10.92 million from Copper and Binance, and an additional 5,960 ETH transfer valued at $10.88 million from Copper. 

Notably, the receiving wallet, 0ex287AA111…, was consistently used across all transactions, suggesting coordinated accumulation rather than a typical trading activity. Historically, large-scale withdrawals from Ethereum exchanges have preceded price surges, as they significantly reduce sell-side liquidity and indicate a longer-term holding pattern by investors. 

Amid this growing institutional accumulation, the Ethereum CrossX Indicator, as noted by Ezy Bitcoin on X, has recently flashed a strong buy signal. This reinforces the notion that institutional interest is rising, signaling an increase in demand and potentially setting the stage for further upward price movement. 

Ethereum CrossX Indicator Suggests $4,000 Surge Ahead

Shedding more light on Ezy Bitcoin’s report, the CrossX indicator, which officially triggered a buy signal for Ethereum, is signaling a potential surge above $4,000 for the altcoin’s price. The market expert highlights that this is the first signal seen in nearly six months and, historically, has often preceded significant price action and explosive moves. 

The CrossX Indicator, a tool used to detect high-probability trend reversals based on volume, price action, and divergence patterns, has shown remarkable accuracy in past cycles. As seen in the analyst’s weekly chart, previous buy signals were followed by rallies that took ETH to new local highs.

Now, with Ethereum’s price rebounding off recent lows and a fresh Bullish Divergence in place, the same rally pattern may be unfolding again. If history repeats, ETH could be gearing up for a run beyond $3,000, with the possibility of testing the $4,200 range by year’s end. 

According to CoinMarketCap’s data, Ethereum is currently trading at $1,803, reflecting a yearly decline of 43.10%. A potential rise to $4,200 would represent a staggering 132.95% increase, bringing Ethereum (ETH) closer to its present all-time high of over $4,800.
