Ethereum’s Recent Price Activity: An Overview
In recent weeks, Ethereum’s price has encountered a slowdown, repeatedly struggling to surpass the resistance level near $2,800 despite a robust start to May. As we step into June, the second-largest cryptocurrency is strategically positioned to regain its momentum and aim for the significant $3,000 mark in the coming months.

Since Ethereum fell below the $3,000 threshold in February, it has faced challenges in establishing a consistent upward trajectory, managing to exceed $2,700 on several occasions. However, emerging market data suggests that Ethereum might be gearing up for a prolonged upward movement in the months ahead.
Insights from Ethereum’s Large Investors
A recent analysis by the pseudonymous crypto expert, Darkfost, shared on social media platform X, offers an on-chain perspective on Ethereum’s price dynamics and investor sentiment. According to Darkfost, a specific on-chain indicator that historically signaled substantial ETH rallies has recently been activated.
This indicator, known as Ethereum’s Average Order Size on Binance, is derived by dividing total trading volume by the number of trades on the platform, offering valuable insights into the dominant trader classes, whether institutional investors or retail traders. The recent data indicates a resurgence of large investors, or ‘whales,’ in the market, as evidenced by the whale orders on Binance since May 19. Darkfost notes that this data provides a comprehensive view of Ethereum’s sentiment and momentum on Binance, integrating key market data from spot and futures activities, cumulative volumes, and moving averages.
Darkfost further explains:
“This on-chain signal is an all-encompassing indicator. Currently, it signals something unusual and potent, reminiscent of December 2023, just before ETH soared from $2,200 to $4,000.”
He also highlights that whales are not always seeking the lowest entry points but are strategically positioning themselves early when a broader trend shows signs of strength. With the average orders on Binance predominantly placed by whales, Ethereum’s price could be on the verge of an 80% surge in the forthcoming weeks. Thus, May may have represented a significant entry period for many large investors.
Current Ethereum Price Status
At the time of this report, Ethereum’s price is approximately $2,537, reflecting a modest 0.5% increase over the past 24 hours.
