The crypto market continues to experience a steady sideways movement in terms of market prices. At the moment, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) is trading over $60,000 and the price of Ethereum (ETH) is trading over $1,700. While bearish expectations for BTC are high, some believe ETH is showing bullish signs. As experts debate over ETH bull market starting, Bitmine buys 27,801 ETH, claiming 4.8% of ETH supply.

Experts Debate Over ETH Bull Market Starting

As the price of ETH inches closer to the $2,000 price range, away from the $1,500 price range, analysts are turning tentatively bullish. According to some, the ETH bull market has already started, and these traders are scooping up as much ETH as they can accumulate before the asset’s price can go back over the $2,000 price range. This falls in line with bullish accumulation movements from financial institutions as well.

ETHEREUM COULD BE HEADING TOWARD $1,500. 🚨

Two major distribution structures.
Two brutal breakdowns.

Now $ETH is once again testing the bottom of a key range.

In contrast, others believe that ETH will lose its strength and fall below the $1,500 price range as BTC price dips further towards the $40,000 price range where it is expected to set its bear market bottom price. As we can see from the post above, this expert says that Ethereum could be heading toward the $1,500 price range based on two major structures unfolding that will lead to two brutal breakdowns.

Presently, ETH is testing the bottom of a key range again. A failure in reclaiming this level could lead Ethereum to fall as far as the $1,400 support zone. If nulls reclaim the current price levels quickly, there may be hope for a bullish turn for the price of the pioneer altcoin asset. Meanwhile, another expert highlights how ETH failed to break through resistance. Despite this, he expects ETH to run to $2,500 over the coming days.

With the goal of owning at least 5% of the total ETH supply, his ETH accumulation strategy is nearly complete as of today.
