Ethereum price prediction
Last week was not in investors’ best interest as the king of altcoins’ price plummeted to $2.8k. However, the token gained bullish momentum on the 1st of May as its price moved up steadily.
According to CoinMarketCap, ETH’s price increased by over 1.55% in the last 24 hours. At press time, it was trading at $3,144.11 with a market capitalization of over $377 billion.
In the meantime, World of Charts, a popular crypto analyst, recently posted a tweet highlighting a falling edge pattern on ETH’s chart.
The token started to consolidate inside the pattern since the beginning of March. As per the tweet, the correction phase for ETH was over as it was headed towards the upper trendline of the falling wedge.
A successful breakout from the falling wedge pattern could lead to a 45%-50% price rise in the coming weeks. Predicting Ethereum’s price, it might as well surpass its March high if a bull rally happens.

However, Lookonchain’s latest tweet pointed towards a sell-off. As per the tweet, a whale sold 7k ETH, which, at press time, was worth over $22 million, according to AMBCrypto Converter.
This seemed bearish, as it hinted that the whale was expecting a price drop.
To better understand whether a breakout above the falling wedge pattern was possible, AMBCrypto then analyzed ETH’s daily chart.
