Nevertheless, the significant move to Kraken suggests that a major investor might probably intend to offload a considerable amount of their Ethereum holdings. It could probably reduce the bullish sentiment and create more potential selling pressure in the Ethereum price process.

An analyst, Redblack officials, Tweeted with the bullish sentiment on the X platform that a breakout has taken place out of a falling wedge pattern on the daily chart.&nbsp;

Similarly, based on the analyst tweet, the ETH asset daily chart shows that it has been increasing from support and remains above the 200-day EMAs, portraying bullish strength in the long term.&nbsp;
Likewise, the MACD portrays a bullish cross, with a rising histogram in ETH at -27.0, and the RSI flashed at 51.48. It portrayed that the crypto is not losing steam yet and could continue to climb higher in future sessions.&nbsp;
Therefore, if the breakout rallies strongly, the next goal for the ETH price could be to reach the above levels, such as $3355.0 and $3725.0.
On the contrary, the tweet also stated that if the price plunges and trades inside the pattern again, the bullish pattern would lose its significance and would be invalid.

Likewise, in this scenario, if the Ethereum crypto price fails to stay above the $2855.0 level, it could also decline further.
