As Q1 comes to a close, Ethereum investors shift their focus toward Q2 prospects. April and May historically stand out as some of the stronger months for the crypto market. Historical data shows April delivered an average Ethereum return near 20% in past cycles, while May consistently outperformed with an average gain closer to 30%. This strong seasonal tendency raises a question for Ethereum (ETH) on whether it can surpass the $3,000 mark by the end of May this year. Many analysts remain generally bullish on ETH’s longer-term potential to break key resistance levels eventually. However, beneath this general outlook, recent on-chain activity suggests a more complex and cautious narrative. According to blockchain analyst Ali Martinez, there has been a major decline noted in whale Ethereum transactions since February 25. Activity among these large wallets reportedly dropped by 63.8% during that observed period. Data also shows Ethereum is estimated to generate just $22 million in total network transaction fees for March—the lowest level since 2020., according to data sources like TokenTerminal.

Conversely, falling fees can mean a period of market slowdown or lack of investor interest. While a sharp drop in whale activity might seem concerning initially, it does not necessarily guarantee further immediate downside for Ethereum’s price. In fact, it could also mean a period of consolidation—a common phase before a big price movement. This consolidation could either set the stage for a bullish breakout or suggest that the market is pausing to reassess before the next move.

Successfully reclaiming this area, which acted as prior support, could mark the start of a renewed bullish trend, particularly if the move is sustained on increased volume.

Large $ETH transactions see sharp drop since February Crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted in a recent post on X that the number of large Ethereum (ETH) transactions decreased by 63.8% from Feb. 25 to March 31. He suggests that this drop points to reduced activity among whales.

The cryptocurrency market remains cautious Tuesday as investors await April 2nd, “Liberation Day,” as the Trump administration termed it when they impose new tariffs on the “Dirty 15” nations . Market leaders Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) showed only modest gains over the past day. However, several altcoins were the true market movers, including Walrus (WAL), EOS, Curve Finance (CRV), and AI16Z. According to CoinMarketCap data, over the past 24 hours, WAL gained 22%, EOS climbed 15.19%, CRV rose 18.18%, and AI16Z’s price increased 16.75%. Additionally, certain small-cap tokens delivered substantial gains, such as RFC (+293%) and DOGINME (+58.9%), according to CryptoRank. This data highlighted ongoing speculative momentum in specific market segments despite broader caution. Despite near-term uncertainty, institutional players continue to demonstrate confidence in Bitcoin. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) added another 22,048 BTC to its corporate treasury, spending $1.92 billion for this latest batch at an average price of $86,900 per BTC. Meanwhile, stablecoin issuer Tether acquired 8,888 BTC (worth ~$735M at the time) during the first quarter of 2025. These large purchases reinforce the view that major institutions are positioning for Bitcoin’s potential long-term appreciation. Bitcoin’s current price action suggests consolidation. A critical near-term resistance level sits at $84,824, aligning with the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), a key short-term trend indicator. Chart analysis also indicates BTC might be in a potential accumulation phase above a key support level currently identified near $76,180. If BTC fails to reclaim the 20-day EMA soon, it could retest lower support levels. Prominent technical analyst Ali Martinez noted that Bitcoin has an “air gap” below $80,000, meaning very little established technical support exists until the $70,000 price area. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has dropped to 24 , indicating significant “Fear” among market participants. Simultaneously, Bitcoin’s market dominance (BTC.D) remains above 61%, generally suppressing conditions needed for a sustainable, broad altcoin market rally. The chart tracking the total market cap of altcoins excluding Bitcoin (often called TOTAL2) highlights a declining Relative Strength Index (RSI), a commonly used momentum indicator. The RSI currently hovers around 40.40. This RSI level suggests altcoins may remain in a neutral-to-bearish short-term posture. However, a bounce from these RSI levels could signal renewed upward momentum for altcoins. If the RSI moves back above the 50 level, the altcoin market could potentially see a significant rally. Analysis using Fibonacci retracement levels further indicates key areas to watch. If the total altcoin market cap holds support above the 1.0 Fib level (around $923 billion), a potential breakout could follow. The next major resistance target based on this analysis aligns with the 1.618 Fib extension level (around $1.16 trillion). However, if the broader market weakens further, lower Fibonacci support levels at the 2.618 ($630B), 3.618 ($450B), and 4.236 ($380B) extensions could come into play.

Bitcoin (BTC) remains in a consolidation phase after hitting its all-time high near $109,000 several months ago. Despite recent price corrections, some on-chain market indicators suggest a structural supply shortage could be developing, potentially creating conditions for another bullish price move in the coming days or weeks. Major crypto market analysts point to decreasing Bitcoin inflows onto exchanges as a key factor. They also highlight critical support levels that, if held, could potentially push the leading digital asset back above $90,000 soon. CryptoQuant verified author Axel Adler reports average Bitcoin selling pressure across top exchanges declined significantly recently. He noted daily inflows dropped sharply from a peak of 81,000 BTC down to just 29,000 BTC per day over a measured period. This sharp drop in the amount of Bitcoin moving onto exchanges indicates fewer investors are transferring BTC to platforms where it could be readily sold. This trend likely reduces overall immediate selling pressure on the market. Adler describes this market state as potentially entering a “zone of asymmetric demand.” His view suggests most willing sellers largely exited near recent price highs, while current buyers appear comfortable holding or accumulating within the present consolidation range. However, Adler also noted that the April-May timeframe could remain a period of consolidation before Bitcoin experiences its next major price impulse. Adler shared a chart illustrating that significant exchange inflows historically coincided with sharp price drops for Bitcoin in previous cycles. Conversely, decreasing inflows often suggest periods of price stabilization or potential recovery phases developing. As of late March 2025, Bitcoin’s price fluctuated mainly within the $80,000–$85,000 range. The 7-day moving average (SMA) of exchange inflows continues trending downward, supporting the idea that immediate selling pressure is currently fading. Related: Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Display Contrasting Trends in Capital Flows Analyst Ali Martinez previously noted that below the $80,000 price level, Bitcoin faces an “air gap.” In his technical view, this means minimal established support exists until the $70,000 area. He also highlighted critical support levels for BTC based on specific pricing band indicators shown on his charts. These include levels near $76,180, $58,080, $43,740, and $39,980. What is Bitcoin’s Current Price Action? At the time of writing (early April 1), BTC trades near $83,410. This represents an approximate 2% gain over the past 24 hours, following a bounce from recent lows near $81,300 shortly after Strategy Inc.’s purchase announcement.

This moving average now acts as immediate overhead resistance. If Bitcoin fails to break this resistance level soon, it may face renewed downward pressure toward the key support levels identified previously.

Solana (SOL) is struggling to hold its position about the current support level of $125, as it records negative declines across all the notable trading sessions. According to our market data, SOL has fallen by 4% in the last 24 hours, 3% in the last seven days, 10% in the last 30 days, and 35.9% in the last 90 days. Solana’s key market metrics, however, show positive readings with a Positive/Negative Sentiment Ratio currently around 32.87. Comparatively, this level far outshines the sentiment levels of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple(XRP). Solana’s Open Interest (OI) has also crossed the $5 billion mark, as mentioned in our previous news brief. Based on our research, this reading coincides with the recent report that BlackRock is using Solana’s infrastructure for its yield-bearing tokenized treasury funds. The decision to settle on Solana is reported to stem from its fast transaction and low gas fees. According to the COO of Securitize, Michael Sonnenshein, the network makes “it easier and more convenient for funds like treasuries.” We’re making them unboring. We are advancing and leapfrogging some of the quote-unquote deficiencies that money markets may have in their traditional formats. For now, the 50-day Moving Average (MA) at $133.74 is reported to act as a crucial resistance level. Meanwhile, the Bollinger Bands are said to be tightening, indicating contracting volatility. Also, the current price pattern shows consolidation rather than a breakout. According to analysts, positive developments that are not supported by price and trading volume could be risky. Analyst DonAlt believes that SOL has moved from “beloved” to “hated” after people on the chain lost their money to scams. SOL went from beloved to hated quickly only because everyone on the chain lost all their money to scams. Contrary to this stance, an analyst called “Zero” has predicted that the asset could stage a rebound to $1000. Also, analyst Ali Martinez estimates that SOL could surge to $225 or even $264 once it completes the formation of a rare bullish pattern. In a recent analysis , CNF disclosed that Solana has the potential to stage a rebound to $300. However, this would follow ETH’s reversal to $5000. Ali Martinez believes that the $300 price point is a conservative estimate as the asset has shown the ability to rise as high as $3,800. Market experts have argued that SOL’s future move could be largely fueled by an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) approval. As we discussed earlier, JPMorgan analysts estimate that SOL ETF could attract between $3 to $6 billion in net assets within the first six months. When applying these so-called “adoption rates” to SOL and XRP, we see SOL attracting roughly $3 billion–$6 billion in net assets and XRP gathering $4 billion–$8 billion in net new assets.
