• Analysts beelive that a true altseason will begin once ETH price pumps.
  • He says the only thing holding altsesaon back is ETH’s weak performance.
  • ETH whale accumulation has risen sharply hinting at ETH price pump action soon.

The month of April seems to have welcomed a steady recovery for Bitocin and altcoin prices. Soon after the tariff war came to a close, Trump’s action has led to a strong market recovery, one that brought the price of Bitcoin (BTC) back from $75,000 to $86,000. This recovery only pumps sentiments for altseason and ETH price to surge and set a string of new ATHs of its own as BTC did in Q$ 2024.

Analysts Believe a True Altseason Will Begin When ETH Pumps

2025 is expected to be a highly bullish year, especially in Q1 when the peak phase of the altseason was set to arrive. However, what played out instead was a red quarter with all three months of January, February, and March closing in red. Specifically, ETH saw the worst Q1 close in history. This took down all bullish sentiments for a bullish altseason to arrive. Instead, analysts concluded that altseason was delayed this cycle. 

Historically, the peak of the altseason takes place in Q1 following the Bitcoin Halving year. This time, this pattern was broken and the crypto community is still patiently waiting for altseason to arrive, thus the call for a delayed altseason this bull cycle. Furthermore, analysts believe that the peak of the altseason will likely be triggered when ETH starts to pump and go on to set a new ATH. 

As we can see from the post above, this crypto enthusiast says that a true altseason will only begin once Ethereum pump. In addition, he adds that whether we like it or not, it is the truth and the sole reason that we haven’t seen an altseason yet. Meanwhile, another reason why altseason was delayed is due to the fact that Bitcoin’s early ATH run led to an imbalance in liquidity which is what led to the latest market correction. 

ETH Whale Accumulation Increases

Now, with Bitcoin price having recovered after several correction phases, analysts are certain that the pioneer crypto asset will begin to rally once again, and go on to set much higher new ATHs from $116,000 to possibly $350,000 by the end of the bull cycle. Therefore, similar sentiments extend to ETH price. If the market has finally stabilized then is it time for ETH prices to pump and hit new highs? 

The answer to this comes in noticing the increased accumulation movements of ETH whales. Since the market has been correcting, and ETH dropped to much lower prices, an incredible pump is clear in ETH whale accumulation action. For instance, the whale movement in the post above shows that one whale has accumulated 15,953 ETH worth $26.2 million, which could mean that these bit-time traders are preparing for a massive rally soon.
