The number of people trading Ethereum has increased significantly recently, approaching the peak of the previous bull cycle (as shown by the light red arrow). The last time this number peaked, Ethereum experienced a significant price increase, taking it to an all-time high. If history repeats itself, this could signal a new bull cycle for ETH.

With these optimistic data, it is important to look at Ethereum’s metrics to assess the sustainability of the uptrend.

What can we expect from Ethereum?

Data from CryptoQuant also indicates that ETH net deposits on exchanges are low compared to the average over the past seven days. This is a positive sign because it shows that selling pressure is decreasing, creating favorable conditions for price increases.

To check the likelihood of the next bull run, a look at ETH’s daily chart is important. It is worth noting that although the data looks positive, technical indicators tell a different story. The relative strength index (RSI) is in the overbought zone, and Chaikin money flow (CMF) is also showing signs of decreasing. These indicators are signs that the ETH bull run may be coming to an end.
