Samson Mow, a well-known Bitcoin entrepreneur and founder/CEO of JAN3, warned that recent gains in Ether could be short lived as some investors move profits back into Bitcoin. According to his post, many ETH buyers already hold Bitcoin — often from ICOs or insider positions — and are rotating that BTC into ETH to drive prices up. Related Reading: Ethereum Hits $4,300, Restoring Vitalik Buterin’s Crypto Billionaire Status He argued that once Ether reaches a high enough level, those same holders may sell, leaving a fresh set of buyers holding the bag. “No one wants ETH in the long run,” he wrote, and he called the selling pressure near big price marks a “Bagholder’s Dilemma.” ETH/BTC Moves Raise Questions Based on reports, the ETH/BTC ratio has jumped to about 0.036 on TradingView, up from a five-and-a-half-year low of 0.018 in April. That rise has come while Ether surged in price; the token topped $4,310 in late trading on Sunday and posted a weekly gain of 21%. Let me explain what’s happening with ETHBTC. Most ETH holders have a lot of BTC (ICO/insiders) and they are rotating that BTC into ETH to pump it on new narratives (Ethereum Treasury co’s). Once they’ve gotten it high enough, they’ll dump their ETH, creating new generational… — Samson Mow (@Excellion) August 10, 2025 Those numbers put Ether roughly 10% from its 2021 all-time high of $4,880. For proponents of Bitcoin, those shifts look like a rotation back to altcoins that could reverse once sellers take profits. Some market watchers read the same facts differently. They see the recent ETH surge as a bullish sign and expect a more complex cycle: Ether could hit a fresh peak and spark a mini altseason. After that, capital may flow back into Bitcoin until BTC reaches about $140,000, before rotating again into Ether and other altcoins — a back-and-forth that has played out in past bull runs and makes a neat, one-way trade unlikely. Flows, Use Cases And On-Chain Signals Reports have disclosed that institutional interest and new strategies are also part of the story. Nick Ruck, director at LVRG Research, pointed to institutional demand and “strategy reserve plays” as drivers behind Ether’s climb to $4,300. According to Ruk, higher interest has helped DeFi platforms lift total value locked. Staking, yield tactics and burning of fees change supply dynamics compared with earlier cycles, and those factors make today’s rally different from the ICO-era rotations Mow described.

In an August 10 video titled “My End Of 2025 ETH Price Prediction (Using AI) — You’re Not Bullish Enough!”, crypto analyst Miles Deutscher said Ethereum’s latest breakout above the “very key level in the $4,000 zone” has shifted the market into what he views as a confirmed, structurally stronger advance toward new all-time highs. “We actually did get a daily close,” he noted, adding that the weekly close above the same region—something Ethereum “hasn’t closed above on the weekly since November 2021”— underscores the significance of the move. In Deutscher’s framework, that close is “confirmation for a much bigger run.” How High Can Ethereum Go? Deutscher centered the analysis on a simple question—how high can Ethereum go—and answered it with a blend of technical context and model-driven probabilities. Before invoking AI, he sketched an “eye test” path in which price discovery unfolds “well into this range here between $6,000 to $8,000,” arguing that Ethereum is effectively “playing catch-up” after lagging other top assets that already printed new highs. He even floated a directional benchmark—“I think the price prediction is going to be $7,000”—before deferring to probability distributions as a more disciplined way to size the upside. To that end, he ran two large-language models on a shared set of inputs, asking for odds of specific price bands by the end of 2025 and then by the end of 2026. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Eyeing A Breakout? On-Chain Analysis Places Short-Term Target At $4,800 On his telling, the first model’s 2025 peak probabilities favored continuation: roughly a three-in-four chance to revisit the prior high near $4.7k, about sixty-plus percent to clear $5k, around thirty percent to reach $6k, high-single-digits to breach $7.5k, and roughly one percent to tag $10k this year. Expanding the window through 2026 raised those odds materially, to what he summarized as high confidence in $4.7k–$5k, better-than-even odds for $6k, and about forty percent for $7.5k, with a non-trivial tail—“even here 10k plus it’s giving an 18% probability to.” Running the same exercise on Grok produced a more aggressive contour. As Deutscher relayed it, Grok’s “base case could very well be $10,000,” with an $8,000–$15,000 band as a plausible cycle-top range. He quoted the model’s technical guardrails explicitly: “A break above $4,800 signals new all-time high pursuit. Drop below $3,800 could invalidate the bullish thesis.” By contrast, his own trading invalidation skews tighter to trend, cautioning that “if Ethereum drops below the money noodle on the daily, which right now is around like $3,400, I think structurally this could start to invalidate the bullish move at least in the short term,” while “as long as we maintain above $4,000, we are in the pursuit of that prior all-time high.” Headwinds For Ether The projection stack rests on a macro-to-micro chain of tailwinds that Deutscher argued now favors Ethereum more directly than in prior cycles. He cited consistently positive ETF flows—“around $17 billion of net inflows into the crypto ETFs over the last 60 days, $11 billion coming in the month of July alone,” with particular traction on the ether side—alongside anticipated retirement-account access to crypto that could unlock what he called a “massive pool of new buyers.” He framed recent US policy steps as a near-term accelerant for on-chain finance, saying the GENIUS Act clarified treatment for a set of crypto assets and “regulates some of the key stable coins,” thereby widening the aperture for institutional yield strategies and tokenization. In his view, those are specifically Ethereum-centric growth funnels because “Ethereum is the biggest blockchain facilitating asset tokenization and DeFi,” which makes ETH “the number one proxy for anyone looking to get exposure to this narrative.” Related Reading: Ethereum Hits $4,300, Restoring Vitalik Buterin’s Crypto Billionaire Status Deutscher also paired the flows argument with market-structure observations: stablecoins at fresh highs, price resilience marked by “sell-offs… relatively short-lived,” and a turn in bitcoin dominance that, if it persists, historically precedes broader alt rotation with ETH at the fulcrum. None of this, he stressed, implies a straight line. Deutscher expects the cycle to oscillate through rotations—bitcoin strength, an ether catch-up, then a higher-beta alt expansion—rather than a single monolithic “altseason.” He even penciled in a likely second-leg window into 2026, aligning with political and monetary calendar points, while cautioning that “you never know what’s going to happen” and emphasizing the need for clear invalidations. Still, the directional conclusion is unambiguous: the combination of structural inflows, regulatory clarity around on-chain finance, and Ethereum’s technical regime shift leaves him biasing to the upside. “This would be hard momentum to slow down in the short to mid-term,” he said, adding that the true “FOMO” phase probably begins only once ETH is in price discovery above its $4,800 peak. At press time, ETH traded at $4,303. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

With the bullish momentum growing in the cryptocurrency market, the large-cap altcoins have been some of the major beneficiaries of the current positive trend. Ethereum price, specifically, has continued to impress, with the second-largest cryptocurrency reasserting its position in the market over the past weeks. The Ethereum price displayed significant bullish impetus going into the weekend, reclaiming the $4,000 mark for the first time since December 2024. Interestingly, the “king of altcoins” appears to only be at the beginning of an extended upward trajectory. ETH Price To Soar By 182% In The Coming Months: Analyst In an August 9 post on the social media platform X, pseudonymous crypto analyst Titan of Crypto shared an exciting layout for Ethereum that could see its price climb as high as $12,000. This positive projection is based on the price fractals of the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Bitcoin, in 2020. Related Reading: Dogecoin To $1 Is Within Reach—Here’s What Must Happen First, Says Analyst In technical analysis, fractals refer to the recurring patterns on a price chart. These price patterns often offer insight into historical price movements and can be used to analyze the future trajectory of a cryptocurrency. Titan of Crypto revealed that the Ethereum price is currently at the same spot that the price of BTC was in August 2020. At the time, the premier cryptocurrency was trading within a converging wedge pattern before breaking out to its then all-time-high price at around $69,000. As shown in the chart above, the Ethereum price is currently trading within a similar converging wedge pattern on the monthly chart. Both BTC and ETH prices recently bounced off the lower boundary of the chart pattern earlier in 2020 and 2025, respectively. Almost identically, the two largest cryptocurrencies almost broke above the trendline with their respective July 2020 and 2025 candlestick. While the price of BTC hovered around the upper trendline in the subsequent two months, the Ethereum price has broken clearly above the wedge pattern with its August candlestick. If history is anything to go by, and a sustained monthly close above $4,000 occurs, the price of Ethereum could be on its way to an unprecedented high around the $12,000 region. This move represents a potential 182% surge for ETH from its current price point. Ethereum Price At A Glance As of this writing, the Ethereum token is valued at around $4,270, reflecting an almost 6% increase in the past 24 hours. According to data from CoinGecko, the altcoin is up by more than 25% in the past seven days.

Digital asset treasury or DAT deals are booming — but where does that leave general crypto startup funding?
The Ethereum (ETH) market has unlocked another wave of bullish momentum after decisively breaking above the long-standing resistance at the $4,000 level. The most prominent altcoin now trades around $4,200, representing an estimated 180% gain from market lows of $1,500 in May 2025. Looking forward, a market analyst with the username CryptoOnChain unveils a potential price trajectory for Ethereum, detailing both short- and long-term outlooks for the asset. Related Reading: Ethereum Exchange Balances Decline To 18.8M ETH: Smart Money Drains Supply On-Chain Data Shows ETH Long-Term Bullish, Short-Term Vulnerable In a QuickTake post on CryptoQuant, CryptoOnChain shares insights on Ethereum’s future price movement based on recent exchange activity. The digital asset analyst notes that after rallying from the $2,400 zone, ETH has climbed to around $4,215, just shy of the strong $4,400 resistance level that has historically acted as a significant supply barrier. While momentum indicators such as the MACD and buying volume remain positive, the approach toward this resistance is accompanied by potential for near-term selling pressure. Meanwhile, CryptoOnChain also reveals that on-chain exchange metrics reveal a divergence between broader market behavior and activity specific to Binance. Notably, Ethereum’s Exchange Supply Ratio (ESR) across all exchanges has recorded a steady decline since 2022, now standing at approximately 0.16. This development suggests that investors are steadily moving ETH off trading platforms, thereby reducing sell-side liquidity and strengthening the market confidence in the asset’s long-term price outlook. However, Binance’s ESR has been climbing since early 2025, now hovering near 0.04. This localized increase indicates that some ETH holders are moving coins back into Binance, potentially for short-term profit taking, arbitrage opportunities, or to participate in exchange-specific programs. Adding to the cautious tone, Binance’s exchange netflow has recently seen a notable surge in positive inflows, as Ethereum nears key resistance at $4,400, signifying potential intent to sell. The combination of these metrics paints a picture of long-term strength but short-term vulnerability for the Ethereum market. From a macro standpoint, the ongoing decline in the all-exchange ESR points to a healthier supply-demand balance for ETH. However, the localized buildup of ETH on Binance, which is the world’s largest exchange, coupled with heightened net inflows, suggests that sellers may be preparing to take profits in the immediate term. Related Reading: Cardano Price Prediction: Why A 52% Rally To $1.20 Could Happen Soon Ethereum Price Forecast At press time, Ethereum trades at $4,230, reflecting a 4.62% gain in the last day. However, the asset’s daily trading volume has declined by 12.08%. Considering the current ESR report, CryptoOnChain outlines two scenarios. In a bullish scenario, a swift drop in Binance net inflows or a leveling off in the exchange’s ESR could open the door for ETH to push decisively past the $4,400 mark, with $4,800 as the next price target amidst the possibility of revisiting all-time highs. Conversely, if strong inflows into Binance persist and the price fails to clear $4,400, ETH could face a short-term pullback, potentially retracing to the $3,950–$4,000 support zone before mounting another breakout attempt.

The Ethereum price has roared on with a strong performance over this weekend, reclaiming the $4,200 level for the first time since 2021. According to data from CoinGecko, the “king of altcoins” has now increased in value by more than 25% on the weekly timeframe. Considering its strong momentum, the general expectation is that the Ethereum price will continue to climb over the next few days. However, the latest price analysis shows that the altcoin might currently be trapped within a resistance range. Why ETH Price Could Be Heading Next For $4,800 In a Quicktake post on the CryptoQuant platform, CryptoOnchain revealed that the Ethereum price might be eyeing a breakout above a key psychological and technical resistance. According to the pundit’s technical analyst, the altcoin would need a sustained breach above this region if it is to retest its all-time-high price. Related Reading: Bitcoin Season Or Altcoin Season? Shiba Inu Exec Outlines What’s Happening Expanding on this technical hypothesis, CryptoOnchain shared that the Ethereum price is within the green zone between $4,000 and $4,400 (from the chart above), which represents a multi-year resistance range with significant historical selling pressure. Nevertheless, the analyst noted that the Moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) indicator has flipped positive, signaling the continuation of bullish momentum. From an on-chain perspective, CryptoOnchain highlighted that the Ethereum price could be at risk of selling pressure, as the MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) indicator is nearing its upper historical ranges. The other on-chain metrics, however, suggest the investors are not in profit-taking or euphoria mode—despite the widespread profitability in the market. Notably, the Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) metric—which tracks the overall profit and loss status of crypto investors—is in a high, positive region. While the metric signals that the ETH investors are broadly in profit, it also clarifies that the Ethereum price is not yet overheated. CryptoOnchain concluded that a strong break above the $4,400 level could open the door for a run to $4,800 for the Ethereum price in the short term. The on-chain analyst added that the Ethereum market has yet to reach an overheated state, which suggests room for further upside movements in the medium term. Ethereum Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of ETH sits at around $4,270, reflecting an almost 6% increase in the past 24 hours.

Ethereum’s most recent price rally has eroded Bitcoin’s dominance, representing one of the steeper movements in the crypto space in recent months. Related Reading: Ethereum Hits $4,300, Restoring Vitalik Buterin’s Crypto Billionaire Status Though both assets have registered growth, US President Donald Trump’s long-time crypto skeptic, Peter Schiff, made it plain which one he would retain in case he were forced — and it isn’t Ethereum. ETH Pushes Past $4,000 Amid Strong Activity Ethereum moved past $4,000 in recent trading sessions, reaching a high for 2025. Whale transactions and heavier derivatives trading have been the fuel to this price action, according to reports. Volumes and open interest have also gone up, indicating healthy speculative demand. ETH even surpassed Bitcoin’s percentage appreciation in the previous week, further pushing eagerness up among its fans. Well Ether is up a bit since I recommed switch it into Bitcoin, but I still think the trade will work out. If fact, it was woring well initially, until Ether just rallied late last week. I have no interest in owning either, but if you put a gun to my head, I’d chose Bitcoin. — Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) August 9, 2025 Schiff, who is an economist and gold advocate, said Ether’s surge came after he had been recommending investors to transfer their ETH to Bitcoin. Though that tack apparently paid off at first, Ethereum’s late-week surge closed the gap. “I have no interest in owning either, but if you put a gun to my head, I’d pick Bitcoin,” Schiff said on X. Bitcoin Above $100k But Lags Behind In Terms Of Market Share Despite the ETH rally, Bitcoin has kept its position as the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization and the most widely adopted by institutions. It is still above $100,000, buoyed by spot Bitcoin ETF inflows and corporate treasury buying. Market share statistics from CoinMarketCap, however, indicate that Bitcoin’s dominance had dropped to 59%, which is 4.90% less from last month. Ethereum’s share has grown to 12%, up 3.25% in the same period. Altcoins combined have increased their slice to 25%, a gain of 1.50%. Abrupt Shift From June Peaks Bitcoin dominance hit an annual high of 65% on June 27, 2025, then retreated during the following weeks. Dominance was at 61% a week ago. The year low hit 53% during December 2024, which means current levels are still much higher than that low but still trending downwards. Related Reading: Bitcoin Is Still King Of Capital Inflows, According To Michael Saylor Ethereum, for its part, has continued to consolidate more, nearing the top of its yearly range. Whether it holds there or not will be a function of institutional positioning, macro trends, and continued trading momentum.

Ethereum’s price surge pushed one of its best-known creators back into the billionaire club this week, based on on-chain valuations. Markets moved fast, and so did headline writers, but the numbers behind the noise are plain. Related Reading: Bitcoin Is Still King Of Capital Inflows, According To Michael Saylor Arkham Valuation And Wallets According to Arkham, wallets linked to Vitalik Buterin now hold about 240,042 ETH, giving him an on-chain value near $1.04 billion at recent prices. Those wallets also show smaller stakes in tokens like AETHWETH, White, Moodeng and WETH. This is a price-driven snapshot of holdings that are visible on public ledgers, not a full accounting of any off-chain assets or tax liabilities. Based on reports, Ether climbed as much as 6.20% on Saturday and breached the $4,300 level for the first time since December 2024. Nansen data put Ether around $4,250 at the time of reporting. Traders pointed out that a move to $4,500 would put roughly $1.35 billion of short positions at risk, according to CoinGlass, which feeds talk of a potential short squeeze. Fast moves like this can trigger big liquidations and amplify swings. ETFs And Flows Driving Demand According to Arkham, ETF activity sent $461 million to ETH compared with $404 million to BTC. Over five trading days, US-based spot Ether ETFs recorded net inflows of $326 million, compared with $253.2 million for Bitcoin, based on Farside data. Those steady flows add another channel of demand for spot ETH and help explain why institutions and traders are watching price action closely. A History Of On-Chain Wealth Vitalik first crossed the on-chain billionaire threshold at age 27, in May 2021, when Ether traded above $3,000 and holdings were roughly 333,500 ETH — then worth about $1.029 billion. That rise came after ETH moved from around $700 at the start of 2021 to much higher levels later that year. What’s different now is that the figure is again a simple product of visible token holdings and a higher ETH price.

That kind of caution from a founder matters to investors who are weighing long-term structural risks against short-term price moves. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
Ethereum’s price action in the past seven days has been nothing short of interesting. During this period, the leading altcoin has surged past $4,000 for the first time since December 2024 and is also now trading above $4,200, reclaiming a level it last held in 2021. According to on-chain data, the breakout has injected confidence into the market, especially among retail traders. Ethereum’s technical setup and comparisons with Bitcoin are now showing the possibility of a rally on par with the most explosive phases in its history. Related Reading: Ripple-SEC Legal Drama Ends; XRP Skyrockets 13% Ethereum Fractal Structure Signals 1,110% Rally According to technical analysis of Ethereum’s price action on the weekly candlestick timeframe chart, the leading altcoin is about to enter into a 1,110% rally that might take its price above $20,000. This analysis was initially noted by crypto analyst Merlijn The Trader, who identified a repeating cycle that closely aligns Ethereum’s current performance with Bitcoin’s 2018-2021 run. Taking to the social media platform X, the analyst noted that in that earlier cycle, Bitcoin endured an 83% drop from its highs before staging a powerful 342% recovery. This was followed by a secondary correction of around 63%, which ultimately served as the base for a 1,110% surge between the second half of 2020 and the first half of 2021. Ethereum’s weekly chart has been following the same sequence almost step-for-step in the past few years. After a steep 83% decline from its 2021 peak, Ethereum mounted a 342% rebound, only to experience a deep retracement of roughly 63% to $1,500 in April 2025. Since then, however, Ethereum has mounted another rebound, with the latest move being the most recent rally back above $4,200. Image From X: Merlijn The Trader This latest rally shows Ethereum is now in the final phase, where it could be positioned for a comparable explosive run to as high as $20,000 if the fractal continues to play out. In another analysis, Merlijn The Trader also pointed out that Ethereum’s weekly chart is echoing its own 2017 breakout structure. In that cycle, Ethereum reclaimed the 50-week moving average after a prolonged consolidation phase before entering into a sustained and powerful rally. The 2025 chart shows a similar reclaim of the 50 MA, and the price is now breaking above the $4,000 resistance zone that has stood since March 2024. Image From X: Merlijn The Trader Bullish Sentiment Building Above $4,000 Although Ethereum’s recent price rally can be mostly attributed to institutional buys in Spot Ethereum ETFs, the breakout above $4,000 has not gone unnoticed in the broader market. Notably, data from on-chain analytics platform Santiment reflects a dramatic rise in bullish activity across social channels. Mentions tied to buying, optimism, and higher price expectations have surged sharply, now outpacing bearish commentary such as selling or lower price calls by almost two-to-one. Although this can create the conditions in which Ethereum’s rally can sustain momentum, too much FOMO can also put a temporary halt to any rally.

Over the past weeks, the altcoins’ season (or the altseason) seems to be the biggest narrative in the digital asset market, leading virtually all conversations amongst the crypto crowd. This narrative is beginning to feel even more organic due to the strong performances of the largest altcoins, ETH and XRP, in recent weeks. Ethereum, the “king of altcoins,” has been on a relatively significant run in the last two months, reclaiming the $4,000 mark for the first time since December 2024. Meanwhile, the price of XRP has returned above $3, surging by more than 10% in the past week. However, the latest on-chain observation points that the altcoin season might only just be warming up and has not kicked in full gear just yet. The altseason, a period when mid/small-cap altcoins outperform BTC, is often marked by capital rotation from the largest cryptocurrency to the rest of the market. Last True Altcoin Season Was In Early 2024: Analyst In a recent post on the X platform, an on-chain analyst with the pseudonym Darkfost postulated that the altseason “has not really started yet.” This hypothesis comes despite the relatively improved performance of the altcoin market over the past few months, with various non-BTC assets leading the sector in gains. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Run At Risk? Binance Whale-To-Exchange Flow Signals Price Correction The rationale behind this Darkfost’s theory is based on the performance of various asset classes relative to Bitcoin over the last few months. The analyst compared the market cap growth of Bitcoin, large-cap altcoins (the top 20 largest altcoins), and mid-to-small-cap altcoins by calculating the difference between their 365-day and the 30-day moving average (MAs). Typically, the difference between the 365-day moving average and the 30-day moving average can be considered an indicator of growth momentum. Rapid market cap growth is witnessed when the short-term moving average (30-day MA) rises faster than the long-term moving average (365-day MA), while a lagging 30-day moving average indicates slow growth momentum. In their post on X, Darkfost noted that the altcoin market is having its weakest performance in this cycle relative to the premier cryptocurrency. As shown in the highlighted chart, the Bitcoin market capitalization currently outpaces the top 20 largest altcoins and the other mid-to-small-cap assets. According to the crypto analyst, this similar performance pattern was seen earlier in the year before the general market experienced a severe downturn. Nevertheless, Darkfost noted that the strongest action, which resembled a “true” altseason, happened back in the first quarter of 2024. Altcoin Market Capitalization As of this writing, the altcoin market is valued at over $1.55 trillion, reflecting an over 12% increase in the past seven days.
