Ethereum Price Prediction As Whales, BlackRock ETF Accumulate: ETH To $7,000 Next?

Ethereum is continuing its range-bound price action between $3,800 and $4,200. However, whales aren’t missing out on any opportunity to buy the dip. 

In just the past 24 hours, two whales secured massive ETH buys. Whale “0x395” withdrew 12,000 ETH worth over $46 million from Binance, bringing its total position to over $264 million. 

Similarly, another whale “0x86E” bought 8,491 ETH from OKX at an average price of $3,824. Even Radiant Capital’s exploiter swapped for 2550 ETH. 

Meanwhile, BlackRock’s ETHA ETF has recorded $42.5 million and $110.7 million in inflows on Tuesday and Wednesday, before a marginal $23.4 million outflow on Thursday. 

The strong whale and ETF demand suggest that the next ETH bull rally could be on the horizon. Ethereum price predictions from top analysts still indicate $7000 as the likely year-end target for the largest altcoin. 

Ethereum Price Prediction: How High Can ETH Go In 2025?

The aforementioned whales aren’t the only ones accumulating ETH. 

Smart trader “0xc2a3” has opened a 5x ETH leveraged long position worth over $131 million, and already has over $2 million in unrealized profits. 

Notably, this trader has a 100% win rate over the past 12 days, with total profits of over $15.4 million. 

Such conviction is indicative of a strong rebound in Ethereum, which is already back to trading near the $4,000 mark at press time after falling to $3,700 on Thursday. 

As is evident from the aforementioned Ethereum price chart, it is trading within a falling wedge and is rebounding after successfully retesting its lower trendline. 

Now, a breakout above the smaller trendline, the key $4,100 resistance level and the upper trendline would confirm the start of a new bull run. 

ETH’s technicals are already suggesting hidden buying pressure, which is also corroborated by the strong whale demand. For instance, Ethereum has formed a bullish divergence with its Relative Strength Index (RSI-14) and a hidden bullish divergence with its on-balance volume (OBV). 

Prominent experts also indicate that Ethereum has formed the Wyckoff re-accumulation pattern. The schematic suggests that ETH is currently in its final downtrend, before an explosive breakout to new highs. 

Trader Michael Ceaser predicts that the Ethereum price will hit $6200 by year-end, while others are indicating $7000 as the target. 

Ethereum Meme Coins Like Pepe and Pepenode Also In High Demand

Ethereum meme coins continue to show a strong correlation with ETH, as smart money investors view them as excellent beta bets. 

For instance, top analysts remain confident that the Pepe price will hit the $20 billion market cap before the end of this bull cycle. This would mean more than 6x returns from its current price. 

Similarly, the low-cap Pepenode (PEPENODE) is also in high demand, having already raised nearly $2 million in its ICO behind massive whale buys. 

Unlike Pepe, which offers no utility, Pepenode is a unique meme coin with an innovative mine-to-earn utility. 

Its virtual mining system introduces a new way for investors to generate value. Instead of using hardware or electricity, holders can purchase virtual Miner Nodes that power simulated mining rigs inside digital server rooms. 

The dashboard displays hashrate, rewards, and efficiency metrics, giving users full control over their mining operations. Each facility upgrade permanently burns a portion of tokens from the supply, making $PEPENODE increasingly scarce over time. 

Rewards include both $PEPENODE and leading meme coins such as Pepe and Fartcoin, allowing holders to diversify returns while actively participating in a gamified, deflationary mining ecosystem.

Token holders can also simply stake their coins and earn passive income throughout the duration of the presale, currently at over 660% APY. 

Considering the Pepe the Frog theme, the sound fundamentals and low market cap, many are calling Pepenode a potential 100x crypto.
