Ethereum’s Consolidation Phase Nearing End – Analysts Predict Explosive Upside Ahead

After weeks of sideways trading, Ethereum looks primed to break out. Market watchers spot bullish signals as ETH tests key resistance levels.

The calm before the storm?

Technical indicators suggest the consolidation phase—which had institutional investors yawning into their lattes—may finally be ending. On-chain data shows whales accumulating while retail traders remain distracted by meme coin casinos.

Liquidity pools filling up

Exchange reserves are drying up faster than a DeFi project's treasury after a founder 'steps back for personal reasons.' The setup mirrors previous breakout patterns before major rallies.

Will this be the move that finally lets ETH outperform its little brother for more than 48 hours? Even Wall Street analysts—who still think gas fees involve OPEC—are cautiously optimistic.

• Ethereum has been ranging for over a month, positioning itself towards a breakout.

• Ethereum ETF inflow, possibly reaching $1 billion in June, indicates increasing interest by institutions.

• Higher lows and frequent support areas observed in technical patterns indicate that ETH will soon soar through the next crucial resistance.

Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe has cited a positive picture on the Ethereum (ETH) chart, saying that the cryptocurrency is inching to the conclusion of a significant period of consolidation and is building up to a heavy rally period. 

As van de Poppe explained in a recent post, ETH has been accumulating liquidity at multiple price points. To him, this trend is typically an indication that the asset is accumulating some pressure towards a reversal, and this time, the asset’s price could be going up.

Huge Ethereum ETF Inflows Point to High Investor Confidence

Van de Poppe also noted that ethereum has been trading sideways within a tight range over the last month. It appears to have stabilized and strengthened in an otherwise volatile market. 

This protracted period of consolidation is regarded as an accumulation period, during which the price is ready to jump significantly. Van de Poppe also stressed that these patterns are likely to cause explosive price action, particularly when it is accompanied by good fundamentals and mounting interest.

Adding to the optimism, the spot Ethereum Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) have experienced inflow of more than $1 billion in June. It implies that institutional interest in Ethereum is on the rise. 

Van de Poppe thinks that this type of inflow will be another contribution to the probability of the price breakout towards the upside.

Chart Shows ETH Support Level and Regular Buyer Action

In a chart the analyst provided in his post, Ethereum has displayed an apparent support region, with prices rebounding following every dip in that region. The target region in the chart also has a breakout above the existing level of resistance. 

This is a key area that the analyst tags as having the potential of causing a very sharp rally in ETH in the event that it is breached. The chart displays that Ethereum trades right below a significant resistance zone at the moment where it has made attempts to break through it a couple of times.

All these are coupled with the fact that the price is establishing a pattern of higher lows as noted by Van de Poppe, which is usually a precursor of an upward trend.
