Ethereum Eyes $3,000 as Whales and Analysts Bet Big
March 27, 2025
Ethereum, hovering near the $2,000 mark, presents a buying opportunity for whales. Analysts predict a potential surge to $3,000 amid rising bullish sentiment. As Bitcoin holds above the $87,000 mark, Ethereum witnesses stagnancy near the $2,000 psychological level. ETH trades at a market price of $2,028, recording a 1.12% drop in the past 24 hours.
The short-term pullback reveals a minor weakness in the bullish momentum of the short-term recovery run. Amid such conditions, will Ethereum bounce back from the $2,000 mark for a new upswing?
Whales Load Up Ethereum Near $2,000
Despite the recent consolidation and prevailing downward pressure, whales are actively accumulating Ethereum. According to a recent tweet by LookOnChain, a newly created whale wallet, 0x114E, has accumulated 7,100 ETH worth $14.27 million. Additionally, another wallet, 0xC377, purchased nearly $9.5 million worth of Ethereum from Binance, acquiring 4,790 ETH tokens. Following the purchase, the whale deposited Ethereum on Aave to borrow 8 million USDT, possibly to acquire more ETH.
The growing list of whales continues, with wallet 0xC479 withdrawing 2,697 ETH, valued at approximately $5.45 million, from the OKX exchange. Finally, wallet 0xCb44 purchased 1,427 ETH tokens, worth $2.86 million, for staking benefits.

Ethereum ETFs Fail To Record Inflow
Despite the sudden demand surge in Whales, institutional investment still lags. On March 26, the US Ethereum spot ETFs recorded a daily total net outflow of $5.89 billion. This marks another day of continuous outflows since March 5, with a single day of net zero inflow on March 24. Prior to that, the ETFs recorded only a single day of inflow on March 4, 2024, since February 20.
Analysts Suggest ETH Price Recovery to $3,000
XForce Global, a Korean-certified Elliott Wave analyst, hints at a potential bounce back for Ethereum. In a tweet, the analyst suggested that Ethereum has completed an A-B-C pattern within a larger consolidation range. Using the trend-based Fibonacci extension tool, the analyst projects a potential price surge based on the three-wave A-B-C pattern, with price targets ranging from $5,464 to $9,279.
However, even in the event of an extended correction, the analyst expects a relief rally toward $3,116. Therefore, according to the analyst, a potential 40-70% rally is possible in the coming weeks.
$ETH $3,000 should be retested sooner or later. At a very minimum, I am expecting a good 40-70% rally in the coming weeks. One more sweep of the lows on the micro timeframe is possible. Even the extremely bearish scenario for a wave B is calling for a relief rally.
