An Ethereum whale has made a significant move by opening a long position on Ether (ETH) valued at $90.8 million, signaling confidence in the altcoin's potential for further gains. According to Cointelegraph, this development comes as the ETH/USD pair trades at $2,280, marking a 32% increase from its low of $1,750 on February 6. The price holding above $2,200 offers optimism amid anticipated market volatility. Analyst AlphaBTC highlighted that strong retail sales could push yields higher, delaying Federal Reserve cuts, while weak data might encourage risk-on bets. Key macroeconomic factors, including Federal Reserve commentary and PMI data, are expected to influence market movements, with geopolitical risks adding potential volatility. Market participants are closely watching a trader with a notable track record who has opened a $90.8 million long position in ETH with 20x leverage. Analyst TAnotepad also noted another whale, identified as 0x6C851, who has opened a $61 million ETH long position at 20x leverage with an entry point around $2,303 on HyperLiquid. These strategic moves align with continued inflows into spot Ethereum ETFs, which have seen net inflows of $426 million over seven consecutive days. Additionally, global Ethereum investment products recorded $328 million in inflows during the week ending April 17, reinforcing the view that whales and institutions see the recent ETH price rebound above $2,400 as a positive development that could pave the way toward $3,000. Ether's price action has formed an ascending triangle pattern on the daily chart, with a potential breakout target of $3,230, representing a 41% increase from current levels. The pattern will resolve if the ETH/USD pair breaks above the triangle's resistance line at $2,400. However, resistance from the $2,350-$2,500 zone, marked by the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA), could pose a challenge. Beyond that, the 200-day EMA at $2,640 is the next significant hurdle. Analyst Micro2Macr0 suggested that a breakout from a multi-year ascending triangle could lead to a 60%-100% ETH price rally. As Cointelegraph reported, if ETH closes above the $2,400 resistance, it could set the stage for a recovery toward $2,800 and potentially $3,050 in the coming days or weeks.

On April 21, Glassnode released a report indicating that while buying interest remains robust, providing some price support, market sentiment is shifting towards caution. According to BlockBeats, data shows that the cumulative volume delta (CVD) for spot trading has turned negative, signaling increased selling pressure and emerging bearish sentiment. Meanwhile, centralized exchanges are experiencing high trading activity, maintaining strong market participation. In the futures market, an increase in open interest suggests rising risk appetite, but the decline in long funding rates and a sharp drop in perpetual contract CVD indicate traders are more willing to pay a premium for short positions, reflecting a rise in bearish sentiment. In the options market, demand for downside protection has decreased, potentially easing bearish sentiment. However, the contraction in open interest may imply profit-taking, which could affect future volatility. The narrowing of volatility spreads suggests a shift in market sentiment from risk pricing to neutrality. The ETF sector is a highlight, with the MVRV ratio and net inflow of U.S. spot ETFs rising, enhancing profitability and investor interest. Trading activity has significantly increased, showing growing enthusiasm for participating in Bitcoin through regulated channels, with market sentiment cautiously optimistic. Regarding liquidity, the share of hot money has decreased, and the negative change in realized market value has narrowed, indicating dominance by old money and easing net outflows. The supply ratio between short-term and long-term holders remains stable, with long-term holder confidence solid.
