Ethereum (ETH) is attracting market attention with breakout signals that could be reminiscent of Bitcoin’s historic 2021 Bull Run. Analysts cite a combination of strong technical metrics, increased ETF inflows and enhanced whale accumulation as key reasons why Ethereum could soon surpass Bitcoin.

ETH has recently emerged from the classic falling wedge pattern, a technical setup associated with trend reversals. This bullish tier, combined with multiple relative strength index (RSI) taps, suggests that Ethereum may be ready for a significantly upward movement.
The behavior of RSI reflected the movement of Bitcoin in early 2021, and has since been at a high price. In addition to the bullish story, Ethereum’s RSI tapped the long-term trendline three times. This is a rare pattern seen in the bottom of the market and a major trend shift.

The $5.4 billion inflow of Ethereum ETFs reflects institutional trust
Institutional interest in Ethereum has skyrocketed. Over the past 20 days, Ethereum ETF has recorded a net inflow of $5.4 billion, and in July it only leaked for one day. BlackRock’s Etha ETF alone has accumulated over $4 billion, but Ishares Ethereum Trust has added $1.7 billion on 10 consecutive win days.
This demand for ETFs shows a strong signal of increased confidence among professional investors. On-chain data also reveals a 40% surge in Ethereum ETF holdings last month. This is a vertical trajectory that emphasizes rapid institutional adoption.
Whale accumulation adds fuel to the potential of Ethereum rally
Whales are also actively accumulating. More than 200 new whale addresses have been added since early July. In particular, one address reportedly purchased $300 million worth of ether via OTC transactions via Galaxy Digital.
The price has been below $3,400 recently, but ETH has rebounded to $3,560, showing strong support and buyer interest. Analysts are now confirming that ETH prices form the basis for sustainable gatherings. Especially when prices outweigh major resistance as volume increases.
