April ended as the second month in a row with gains for the second-largest cryptocurrency, which even tried another breakout over the past 12 hours before it was stopped at $2,350.<\/p>\n
Whales have used this opportunity to accumulate more tokens, according to data provided by Ali Martinez, while other analysts believe there could be a more profound rally in the making.<\/p>\n
On-chain data shows that Ethereum whales had accumulated over 140,000 tokens in the past four days alone. The stash is worth more than $320 million at today\u2019s prices. Such moves have a two-fold impact on the market as they reduce the immediate selling pressure and could also serve as an example for smaller investors.<\/p>\n

The whales\u2019 behavior builds on the previous accumulation spree by ETF investors. As a raportat<\/a> over the weekend, market participants gaining exposure to ETH through the exchange-traded funds snapped a multi-month red streak by pouring over $350 million.<\/p>\n
At the same time, the underlying asset ended<\/a> April with a notable 7.3% increase, following a 7% rise in March. Before that, ETH was in a six-month price decline streak that began in September 2025.<\/p>\n
Waiting for a Trigger<\/h2>\n
As mentioned above, ETH tried to break out in the past 12 hours after Iran sent a new proposal<\/a> to the US but was quickly halted as Trump said he couldn\u2019t imagine it would be a good one.<\/p>\n
Popular analyst CW commented that high-leveraged ETH positions have increased only slightly, while shorts have declined. This small change hasn\u2019t impacted the overall \u2018ideal situation\u2019 for the asset, but it still waits for a major trigger.<\/p>\n
\nHigh-leveraged long positions on $ETH<\/a> have increased slightly, while short positions have decreased slightly.<\/p>\n
The change is very small. $ETH<\/a> is moving sideway, but high-leveraged investors remain inactive.<\/p>\n
The ideal situation is being maintained. $ETH<\/a> is waiting for a trigger. https:\/\/t.co\/6NZy5nUchL<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/t0A64Vw1dA<\/a><\/p>\n

In a separate tweet, CW added<\/a> that the Ethereum Open Interest is also showing an upward trend, which could be a healthier signal for a bigger move ahead.<\/p>\n
