Ethereum Price Prediction: A Forgotten Bull Signal as SharpLink Loads Up on ETH After 8 Month Hiatus

SharpLink Gaming just broke an eight-month silence on Ethereum, and could likely flip its price prediction. ETH itself is currently on a downtrend, barely holding above a structural trendline break.

Just a few hours ago, SharpLink added 5,000 ETH to its treasury after an eight-month pause, resuming accumulation despite sitting on a reported $1.71 billion unrealized loss on its existing position.

Sharplink Resumes Ethereum Buying After Eight Months

Sharplink acquired 5,000 $ETH worth $7.85 million on Thursday, its first ether purchase since October 2025, per onchain data cited by EmberCN.

The firm received the ETH from FalconX, according to Arkham data.

It’s not pretty, but buying through a nine-figure drawdown shows conviction, and it echoes institutional treasury accumulation logic that preceded major Bitcoin re-ratings when Strategy held through similar paper losses. The move also landed while spot ETH ETF inflows remain inconsistent, which makes the corporate bid marginally more significant as a demand signal.

Not just Ethereum, derivatives activity hit record levels this week alongside the SharpLink announcement. But what’s next for ETH? Can it break its downtrend?

Ethereum is trading at $1,550 after a sharp decline this month. Price remains below major resistance, while recent sessions show buyers defending the lower range. The nearest support sits around $1,500–$1,550, a zone that has attracted demand several times recently.

Meanwhile, momentum remains mixed. The market has not reached overheated conditions, leaving room for a recovery if buying pressure improves. However, bulls still need to reclaim higher resistance levels before a stronger trend reversal can be confirmed.

On the upside, immediate resistance stands near $1,700–$1,750. A sustained move above that area could target $1,850 and potentially $2,000. Until then, Ethereum remains in a recovery phase rather than a confirmed uptrend.

The bullish scenario requires Ethereum to hold above the $1,500 support zone and break through $1,750. In that case, momentum could accelerate toward higher levels. Conversely, a failure to defend support may expose the market to another test of recent lows near $1,400.

Institutional interest and long-term accumulation remain supportive factors. Even so, price action remains the key signal. A decisive close above major resistance is still needed before the market can confirm a durable trend change.

ETH at $1,500 is structurally constructive. But for traders who’ve watched Ethereum grind through resistance for months, the upside math from current levels, even to $2,000, requires patience and tolerance for drawdowns that could touch $1,800 first. That’s not a knock on ETH; it’s just the reality of buying into a $200 billion asset at a technical decision point. Early-stage infrastructure plays offer a different risk profile entirely.
