Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, saw a remarkable rise, breaking the $2,000 mark on Saturday and pushing a $105,000 long position into profit. After a two-day dip, Ethereum bounced back from $1,895 on February 12, reaching an intraday high of $2,090, fueling optimism in the crypto market.
A massive long position of 105,000 ETH, initially linked to a whale associated with Matrixport, had been under water when Ethereum’s price fell to $1,901. However, with the price rebound above $2,000, the position flipped from a loss into profit, netting an impressive $1 million.

The whale, who entered at $2,048 per ETH, had faced a loss of over $10 million when the market dipped. Now, with Ethereum pushing past $2,000, the situation has changed drastically. Lookonchain, which tracked the whale’s activity, pointed out that the whale may be tied to wallets 0x6C85 and 0xa5B0, which have used Tron-to-Arbitrum fund transfers and moved assets to Hyperliquid. These actions, in part, are believed to be behind the whale’s sizable position in Ethereum.

This surge in Ethereum’s price follows a positive reaction to a recent CPI report, showing a 2.4% year-over-year increase for January, which was lower than expected. This has stirred hopes for potential interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, helping boost the market’s confidence.
Ethereum’s bounce back has fueled fresh speculation on its price potential. Experts like crypto analyst Ted Pillows suggest that a break above the $2,100 level could signal a move toward the $2,300 to $2,400 range. Ethereum’s ability to regain the $2,000 mark and hold it could lead to further upside, particularly if the broader market continues its positive trajectory.
As of now, Ethereum is up 7.15% in the last 24 hours, trading at $2,033, signaling that the bullish momentum may continue into the coming days. The recovery above $2,000 is not just significant for Ethereum but also for the crypto market, which is seeing renewed optimism.
Ethereum’s resurgence has brought a long position back into profit and restored faith in its potential for further growth. With analysts predicting more upside, Ethereum’s path toward the $2,100 mark and beyond remains a key focal point for traders.
