Recent price action has seen the Ethereum price breaking above the $4,000 price level again to drive euphoria among crypto investors, especially those awaiting the onset of an altcoin season. This price rally follows an unprecedented surge in Ethereum Spot ETF inflows, which hit a record $428 million on December 5 as investors continue to anticipate crypto-positive regulatory changes under the incoming Trump administration.

Cardano Set To Take Over — Analyst Interestingly, this bullish momentum has seen the Ethereum price play out an interesting motion on its price chart. Particularly, Ethereum has broken above a massive triangle on the weekly timeframe chart, which points to an incoming price rally. $10,000 Target In Sight As Bull Run Builds Up Steam According to technical analysis posted on social media platform X by crypto analyst Captain Faibik, the recent Ethereum price rally has seen the cryptocurrency breaking out of the upper trendline of a triangle formation. This breakout is particularly significant, as it is out of a triangular formation that has been in play for three years. As shown by the ETHUSDT weekly timeframe chart below, the triangular pattern has been in play since the Ethereum price reached its current all-time high of $4,878 in November 2021. This pattern has been highlighted by a series of lower highs and higher lows, which have seen the Ethereum price trading in an increasingly tightening range. However, in light of the recent breakout to the upper end, Captain Faibik declared that Ethereum’s long-anticipated 2024-2025 bull run has “officially started.” In terms of a price target, the analyst highlighted a run towards $10,000, which would see the Ethereum price breaking into new all-time highs. On-Chain Data Points To New All-Time High The bullish momentum for Ethereum is supported by strong on-chain metrics, particularly a notable rise in large transactions. According to data from IntoTheBlock, the volume of transactions worth $100,000 or more has increased by over 300% in the past week, reaching a cummulative $86.15 billion in the past seven days and $17.15 billion in the last 24 hours. This surge in high-value transactions indicates growing participation from institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals, further bolstering Ethereum’s price outlook to $10,000. Additionally, Ethereum’s profitability metrics highlight favorable conditions for further growth. As crypto analyst Ali Martinez pointed out, there is nothing preventing the Ethereum price from reaching new all-time highs. As it stands, the only minor resistance level ahead is at $4,540. Regardless, with the $3,560 demand zone acting as a strong support level, Ethereum’s trajectory appears firmly tilted toward the bulls.

Solana (SOL) has recorded a new all-time high (ATH) of $262, marking a historic recovery after three years of tumultuous price action. Notably, the token had once fallen as low as $8 at the peak of the FTX exchange collapse and the ensuing crypto bear market. Solana Makes Historic Recovery, Eyes USDT Flippening Solana (SOL), the much-touted “Ethereum killer,” is again in the spotlight. After dominating the 2020-21 crypto bull market, the digital asset saw its value plummet after FTX’s spectacular collapse, led by Sam Bankman-Fried. However, SOL has staged an impressive comeback over the last two years. Related Reading: $4,000 Solana Price Possible As SOL Breaks Out Of Massive Cup And Handle Pattern At the time of writing, SOL is the fourth-largest cryptocurrency, with a reported market cap of over $123 billion. The layer-1 blockchain’s market cap is just $8 billion shy of overtaking stablecoin Tether’s (USDT) market cap of $130 billion. Notably, SOL needs a further 10% price appreciation to decisively increase USDT’s market cap and become the third-largest digital asset by market cap. SOL will only trail Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as the third-largest cryptocurrency. Given the token’s recent price trajectory, it won’t be surprising to see SOL surging past the leading stablecoin’s market cap before the end of the year. In the last three weeks alone, the token has experienced a remarkable 75% surge, rising from $148 on November 4 to $259 at the time of writing. While the broader crypto market has gained momentum following the victory of pro-crypto Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump, attributing SOL’s rise solely to this would be disingenuous. Memecoin Frenzy, Increased Network Activity, ETF Potential Helped SOL SOL’s remarkable turnaround can be linked to several factors that have spurred increased network adoption. One of the most prominent contributors is the ongoing memecoin frenzy, which has emerged as a dominant narrative in the crypto market. Related Reading: Solana Memecoin Market Thrives: POPCAT Reaches New Record Price Of $1.75 Memecoins – particularly those based on the Solana blockchain – have emerged as the crypto market’s top narrative over the last year. In October alone, the total market cap of Solana-based memecoins surpassed $10 billion. This memecoin craze has also translated into heightened network activity for Solana. Between September and October, Solana saw a 42% month-over-month (MoM) increase in active addresses, amounting to approximately 123 million. Besides benefitting from the memecoin narrative, Solana has also seen increased decentralized finance (DeFi) activity throughout the year. According to DefiLlama data, Solana is home to the second-largest DeFi ecosystem in the world, with a total value locked (TVL) of $9.265 billion. In addition, there are growing prospects for a Solana-based exchange-traded fund (ETF). A recent report indicates that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is holding active talks with multiple asset managers regarding the potential launch of a new spot Solana ETF. While SOL’s achievement of a new ATH is impressive, experts believe the token still has significant growth potential. At the time of writing, SOL trades at $259, up 6.2% over the past 24 hours.
