Ethereum price has formed a strong support at $2,100 as whales continue accumulating the asset. Now, a bullish pattern on charts hints at more potential upside over the coming sessions.Summary

• Ethereum held firm above the $2,100 support as whales accumulated over 750,000 $ETHin the past 48 hours, signaling sustained buying interest.
• The asset rebounded more than 3% as improved risk sentiment followed U.S.-led ceasefire efforts, with crude oil prices slipping below $90.
• A cup and handle pattern has formed on the daily chart, with a breakout above $2,384 potentially opening the path toward the $3,000 level.

According to data from crypto.news, Ethereum bulls managed to fend off a drop below the 100 support amidst some market correction on Sunday, arising from broader macroeconomic uncertainty.

The largest altcoin subsequently rallied over 3% to $2,170 as investor risk sentiment improved after the U.S. attempted to negotiate a temporary ceasefire with Iran through diplomatic channels, which saw crude oil slide back under $90.

Ethereum ($ETH) price rebounded amid whale accumulation, which often sparks retail FOMO, who follow the smart money. Data from Santiment shows that whale wallets holding between 100 and 100,000 $ETHbought over 750,000 $ETHover the past 48 hours.

It also follows as Ethereum treasury company Bitmine continues to aggressively purchase more $ETHas it nears its goal of owning at least 5% of the $ETHsupply, as earlier reported by crypto.news.

Another potential catalyst is the supply crunch. Notably, Ethereum exchange reserves have fallen to an all-time low of nearly 15 million. Depleting exchange reserves means investors could be moving assets to cold storage or staking them to earn passive rewards. Investors often see this as an incredibly bullish signal.

In Ethereum’s case, the neckline of the pattern lies at $2,384. If bulls manage to breach through this level, $ETHprice could swing above $2,400 and much higher towards the psychological $3,000 mark as the measured move targets become active.

Technical indicators seem to suggest bulls still have plenty of gas in the tank. The Supertrend indicator has flashed green, a sign that the prevailing momentum has shifted in favor of the buyers, while the RSI has rebounded from neutral territory to suggest that there is still significant room for growth before the asset becomes overbought.
