Ethereum surged over 10% yesterday, marking an impressive rally alongside a very bullish day for the entire crypto market. The surge has reignited investor optimism, especially as Ethereum nears its annual highs.
Key data from CryptoQuant highlights an important bullish signal: Ethereum takers’ buying volume reached an astonishing $1.683 billion in a single hourly candle. This metric reflects aggressive buying activity in the futures market, further supporting Ethereum’s potential for continued bullish momentum.
The driving force behind this growing demand for Ethereum appears to come from the profits derived from Bitcoin. As Bitcoin consistently breaks all-time highs, investors are reallocating their gains into ETH, thereby increasing its price. Ethereum’s ability to capitalize on Bitcoin’s momentum underscores its position as the second-largest cryptocurrency and a key player in the broader market trend.
However, the next few days will be crucial for Ethereum as it approaches its yearly highs. A strong breakout above these levels could propel ETH into a new uptrend, further reinforcing its bullish narrative.
Ethereum bulls wake up
Ethereum bulls are finally showing signs of life after eight months of price declines, with the price surging more than 40% since November 5. This strong bullish momentum aligns with the broader market rally, fueling optimism that Ethereum’s recovery is only just beginning. The resurgence of bullish sentiment has positioned Ethereum as a key target for investors looking for opportunities in the current market environment.
According to data from CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn, Ethereum taker buying volume recently reached $1.683 billion in a single hourly candle, highlighting significant demand and the implication of high-volume transactions.
This aggressive buying activity is a bullish signal, suggesting increased confidence in Ethereum’s potential to sustain its rally. Strong demand on this scale creates upward pressure on the price, reinforcing the bullish narrative for ETH.

However, Ethereum still faces a critical hurdle at the $3,550 level, an important supply zone that has acted as a barrier since late July. The next few days will be crucial for Ethereum, as breaking through this key resistance could signal its continued upward trajectory. However, failure to do so could result in consolidation in the short term. All eyes are now on ETH as its next moves could set the tone for the altcoin market.
ETH Holds Above Key Levels
Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $3,333 after rising 10% yesterday, marking a significant rebound for the second-largest cryptocurrency. Price is testing a critical supply zone just below the $3,450 level, a resistance zone that bulls must reclaim to confirm the uptrend and maintain momentum towards new highs.
This supply zone has historically acted as a key barrier, and breaking through it with conviction would signal strong buying pressure and the potential for a sustained rally. Holding above the 200-day moving average (MA) at $2,959 further strengthens the bullish case for Ethereum, as this indicator is widely considered a benchmark for long-term price trends.

If Ethereum maintains its position above the 200-day MA and decisively breaks above the $3,450 level, it could pave the way for a bullish rally, targeting higher resistance zones in the coming days.
However, failure to overcome this supply zone could lead to near-term consolidation as bulls regroup to challenge the level again. For now, the market is focused on whether Ethereum can break through this crucial resistance and continue its upward trajectory.
