Ethereum had an underwhelming 2024, underperforming against Bitcoin and many top altcoins throughout the year. While BTC soared to new all-time highs, ETH struggled to reclaim its bullish momentum, leaving investors questioning its position in the market. However, next year could tell a different story, as historical trends suggest altcoins, including ETH, tend to shine […]
Historical data shows that the Ethereum price could enjoy huge gains in the first quarter of 2025. Based on this data, crypto analyst Kaduna predicted that the second-largest crypto by market cap could usher in the altcoin season at the start of the new year. Historical Performance Shows What To Expect From Ethereum Price CryptoRank data shows that the Ethereum price could enjoy positive monthly gains throughout the first quarter of 2025. This is based on historical trends that show that Ethereum enjoyed green monthly closes in Q1 of the 2017 and 2021 bull runs, the following years after the Bitcoin Halving. 2025 is expected to follow 2017 and 2021, as the Halving event occurred this year. Related Reading: Here Are The Major Bitcoin Support Levels To Watch As Bulls Push For $100,000 Again In 2017, the Ethereum price enjoyed gains of 34%, 47%, and 215% in January, February, and March, respectively. Meanwhile, in 2021, Ethereum recorded gains of 78%, 7%, and 35% in the first three months of the year. Therefore, ETH could replicate such massive gains in the first quarter of next year. Based on this historical trend, crypto analyst Kaduna suggested that this isn’t the time to bearish on the Ethereum price, as he advised market participants not to fumble their ETH bags. The analyst added that ETH will lead the altcoin season, possibly as it replicates the 2017 and 2021 Q1 performances next year. This historical trend provides a bullish outlook for the Ethereum price, which has underperformed this year compared to other major cryptocurrencies. Ethereum boasts a meager year-to-date (YTD) gain of around 47%. Moreover, the second-largest crypto has struggled to hold above the psychological $4,000 level and has come nowhere close to its current all-time high (ATH) of $4,800. However, it is worth mentioning that the Ethereum price hit its current ATH in 2021. As such, if ETH replicates its 2021 run in 2025, then it could easily reach a new ATH. ETH’s Time Will Come Crypto analyst Ted provided a bullish outlook for the Ethereum price, stating that ETH’s time will soon come. The analyst cited another data, which shows that the first quarter of 2025 will be huge for Ethereum. He noted that ETH and BTC’s dominance move inversely during a bull run. Currently, Bitcoin’s dominance is on the verge of a big leg down, which is why Ted is confident that ETH will soon pump to new highs.

Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade also provided a bullish outlook for Ethereum. He stated that the crypto has completed the contracting triangle as a local bottom. His accompanying chart showed that ETH could rebound towards $4,000. At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $3,380, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
Ethereum has faced challenges in regaining its bullish momentum, leaving the altcoin trading at a pivotal level. Ethereum is at the center of attention investors who anticipate a potential rally in the coming weeks. This optimism is fueled by expectations that Ethereum’s resurgence could mark the beginning of a long-awaited Altseason, bringing widespread gains across the altcoin market. Related Reading: Bitcoin Is Forming A Symmetrical Triangle – Can BTC Reclaim $100K? Top analyst Carl Runefelt recently shared a compelling technical analysis on X, highlighting Ethereum’s formation of a symmetrical triangle pattern in the 4-hour timeframe. According to Runefelt, this pattern is a classic precursor to a breakout, with a bullish target set above $3,980. Such a move would signal a strong return to upward momentum for Ethereum, reinforcing its position as a leading asset in the crypto market. Market participants closely monitor this pattern, as a confirmed breakout could catalyze a broader rally across altcoins. However, Ethereum must first conquer this critical level to solidify its bullish outlook. With the market at a crossroads, the coming weeks will be decisive for Ethereum’s trajectory and its role in sparking the next major phase of growth in the crypto market. Ethereum Prepares For A Rally Ethereum has reclaimed the $3,000 mark, maintaining a strong position after weeks of consolidation. Currently, ETH is trading within a tight range, capped by resistance at $3,550. This critical zone has captured the attention of analysts and investors eager for Ethereum to break out and surpass its yearly highs, signaling renewed bullish momentum. Top analyst Carl Runefelt recently shared a detailed technical analysis on X, emphasizing the symmetrical triangle pattern forming on Ethereum’s 4-hour timeframe. According to Runefelt, this pattern suggests a high probability of a significant price move, though the direction remains uncertain. He forecasts a bullish target of $3,980 if ETH breaks upward from the triangle. This level would reaffirm Ethereum’s strength and likely inspire confidence among market participants. Conversely, if the pattern breaks downward, Runefelt predicts a retracement to $2,920, marking a critical test of Ethereum’s ability to hold key support levels.

Whether ETH surges past resistance or dips to retest support, the outcome will have significant implications for its short-term direction and long-term outlook. Investors are closely monitoring these movements, awaiting signals of Ethereum’s next big move. Price Action: Keeping An Eye On Key Demand Ethereum is trading at $3,360, showing resilience after consolidating above the critical $3,300 support level. This zone remains a key threshold for bulls aiming to maintain momentum and push prices higher. Holding above $3,300 is essential, as a breach of this level could trigger a deeper correction, potentially retesting lower support zones and dampening bullish sentiment. On the flip side, if ETH establishes a solid base above $3,350, it could pave the way for a swift recovery. A push beyond the $3,550 resistance mark would likely reignite bullish momentum, setting Ethereum up to challenge its yearly highs. This level represents a significant psychological and technical milestone, and reclaiming it would signal strength in the market.

Analysts are optimistic that a rally above $3,550 could lead to rapid price gains. Reflecting renewed confidence in Ethereum’s broader market performance. For now, ETH’s consolidation above $3,300 signals cautious optimism, with the potential for an explosive move in either direction depending on how these levels are defended or broken.

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin, has reached a significant milestone after its Total Value Locked (TVL) surpassed $90 billion this month. This massive surge marks the highest TVL Ethereum has recorded since April 2022, igniting discussions about the likelihood of a huge price rally in the coming months. Ethereum TVL Hits New Milestone With $90 Billion Growth Data from DeFi TVL aggregator DefiLlama reveals that Ethereum’s TVL has surged past $90 billion, reaching its highest level since April 2022. This unexpected resurgence signifies a potential comeback for the altcoin giant, further solidifying its position at the forefront of the DeFi ecosystem. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Prediction: Inverse Head And Shoulders Pattern Says ETH Will Touch $12,000 A surging TVL generally signals an increased usage and adoption of Ethereum’s blockchain ecosystem. It reflects both interest and confidence from institutional and individual investors, underscoring a potential shift in market sentiment from bearish to bullish. The massive growth in Ethereum’s TVL has also sparked debates about its potential impacts on the altcoin’s price trajectory. Various analysts are speculating that this distinct milestone could trigger a price recovery for Ethereum, which has been experiencing a prolonged consolidation since its decline below $4,000. Commenting on Ethereum’s $90 billion TVL growth, crypto analyst ‘Bitcoin Buddha’ suggested that the top altcoin could be at the beginning of its next bull run, driven by market sentiment and steady bullish momentum. The analyst also cautions that not holding ETH could lead to regret, predicting an bullish altcoin season and an Ethereum bull run by 2025. Echoing this enthusiasm, a crypto member known as ‘CR’ emphasized that 2025 could be a pivotal year, as he anticipates a potential bull rally for Ethereum. The price of ETH is currently trading at $3,368, reflecting more than a 15% crash from its previous price high around the $4,000 mark. While Ethereum’s $90 billion TVL growth is a major development, DefiLlama has recorded a significant drop, with the TVL currently at $69.31 billion. Despite this decline, analysts remain optimistic about Ethereum’s future price prospects. Analysts Strong Bullish Stance On Ethereum Price Potential Various crypto community analysts are super bullish on Ethereum’s future outlook, projecting massive price rallies by 2025. According to crypto analyst Mags, Ethereum is gearing up for a massive price rally that could propel it to a new all-time high of $7,297. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Breaks Out Of Symmetrical Triangle Pattern, Analyst Puts Target Above $0.37 Another analyst, known as ‘Mister Crypto,’ shares a similar bullish sentiment and projects that Ethereum could experience a price explosion by Q1 2025. This forecast is based on a historical trend, where Ethereum typically experiences a price rally after Bitcoin’s halving year. Mister Crypto has also highlighted a growing interest among whales, with these large-scale investors seemingly preparing for a bullish surge in Ethereum. The analyst reported that Ethereum whales are accumulating tokens exponentially, further strengthening the likelihood of a potential price pump.

The Ethereum price is showing signs of a breakout, as an analyst has identified the formation of an inverse head and shoulder pattern on its 6-month long-term price chart. This bullish formation has fueled predictions that Ethereum could rally to $12,000 soon, marking a new all-time high for the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Ethereum Price Targets $12 With New Chart Pattern In a Tuesday X (formerly Twitter) post, crypto analyst Tony Severino released an Ethereum price chart illustrating an inverse head and shoulder, a technical analysis indicator signaling a potential trend reversal. This distinctive chart pattern has four key components: a left shoulder, head, right shoulder, and neckline. Related Reading: Is Altcoin Season Here Already? VanEck Answers As Bitcoin Price Struggles Below $100,000 Typically, when the pattern is completely formed, and a cryptocurrency breaks through the neckline, it indicates a potential shift from a downtrend to an uptrend. In Ethereum’s case, its price has been on a significant downward trajectory, declining by over 8% in the past week. Despite dropping from a price high of over $4,000 to below $3,500 recently, Severino remains optimistic about Ethereum’s potential for a trend reversal, predicting a bullish price target of $12,000 for the top altcoin. Examining the analyst’s price chart, the left shoulder of the inverse head and shoulder was formed in 2021, while the head emerged during Ethereum’s price crash at the end of 2022, marking the lowest point in the pattern. Additionally, the right shoulder of the inverse head and shoulder pattern is complete, with Ethereum recently testing the neckline — a key resistance level by a horizontal trendline. At the time, Ethereum broke above $3,400, confirming the bullish trend reversal often associated with this chart pattern. Looking at the price chart, the distance between the head and the neckline measures approximately 265.84%, suggesting that Ethereum could rally between $10,000 and $12,000 if the pattern plays out as expected. The upward-sloping channel of the inverse head and shoulder further supports this bullish trend outlook, with Severino’s Ethereum price target likely aligning with the channel’s trajectory. Ethereum Whale Accumulation Trend Skyrockets While the Ethereum price is trading at $3,493 after surging by 2.3% in the past 24 hours, an analyst known as ‘Mister Crypto’ revealed that whales have been on a major buying spree. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Can Recover To $107,000 Again If This Important Level Is Broken The analyst shared a chart illustrating Ethereum’s balance on accumulation addresses. He disclosed that Ethereum whales are purchasing ETH tokens exponentially, steadily increasing their holdings since 2017. The sharp rise in accumulation suggests that investors are potentially positioning themselves ahead of a bullish price action. The red arrow in the analyst’s chart also shows a major spike in the ETH balance on accumulation addresses in recent months. Most wallets associated with this surging accumulation have seen minor outflows, signaling long-term holding behavior by investors. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
Ethereum has faced significant volatility over the past few days, with massive selling pressure emerging after the cryptocurrency failed to break above its yearly highs set earlier in December. This price action has left traders and investors questioning the next direction for ETH as it consolidates under critical resistance. Related Reading: Bitcoin Will Test ATH Once It Breaks This Strong Supply Zone – Details Despite the turbulence, on-chain data suggests a potentially bullish outlook. Analyst Ali Martinez shared insightful metrics showing that Ethereum whales have been accumulating heavily during this period of uncertainty. According to the data, whales purchased 340,000 ETH—worth over $1 billion—in the last 96 hours. This significant accumulation indicates that major players see long-term value in Ethereum, even as short-term market sentiment remains mixed. The ongoing whale activity could signal an upcoming recovery for ETH, with large holders positioning themselves for future gains. Historically, such accumulation phases have often preceded strong rallies, as increased demand and reduced supply contribute to upward momentum. Ethereum Whale Demand Keeps Rising Ethereum demand has shown significant instability throughout the year, with persistent selling pressure pushing prices down from local highs. Each rally attempt has faced resistance, highlighting the challenges ETH has encountered in sustaining upward momentum. Despite this, Ethereum continues to demonstrate resilience, particularly during corrective phases, as large holders actively accumulate ETH. Martinez recently shared compelling data on X, indicating a remarkable whale accumulation trend. In the past 96 hours alone, whales have purchased 340,000 Ethereum, valued at over $1 billion. This substantial buying activity underscores the confidence that major players have in Ethereum’s long-term potential. Such accumulation often signals the possibility of a market shift, with whales strategically positioning themselves ahead of a potential breakout. Martinez and other analysts believe this whale-driven demand hints at a significant price surge in the weeks to come. Furthermore, the broader crypto community anticipates Ethereum playing a pivotal role in the expected altseason next year, solidifying its position as a market leader among altcoins. Related Reading: XRP Holds Key Demand Level – Whale Activity Suggests Strength As Ethereum enters this critical phase, market participants will closely monitor its ability to capitalize on the current accumulation. If whale activity continues, it could pave the way for Ethereum to reclaim local highs and potentially set new milestones, reinforcing its dominance in the crypto space. ETH Holding Key Support Ethereum is currently trading at $3,320, showing resilience after holding above the critical 200-day moving average (MA) at $3,000. This level is widely regarded as a key indicator of long-term market strength. Holding above it suggests that Ethereum remains in a bullish structure despite recent volatility and selling pressure. For Ethereum to regain momentum, bulls will need to push the price above the $3,550 resistance level and maintain it. Breaking this zone would signal a renewed upward trend and increase the likelihood of Ethereum testing higher levels. However, this may not happen immediately, as the market could enter a period of sideways consolidation.

Such consolidation is common after periods of heightened volatility and allows the market to establish a more stable base for the next significant move.

Due to yesterday’s crypto market rout, Ethereum (ETH) has now faced rejection at the key $4,000 resistance level for three times since March 2024. The second-largest cryptocurrency by reported market cap is now trading at the $3,400 level, down 6.7% in the past 24 hours. What’s Behind Ethereum’s Underwhelming Price Performance? While ETH has posted a respectable 47% year-to-date (YTD) gain, it has been outpaced by other major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL), and XRP, which have recorded significantly higher returns in the same period. Several factors appear to be holding back Ethereum’s price momentum. Related Reading: Ethereum Risk-Reward Ratio Is Now Attractive, Brokerage Firm Explains One contributing factor is Ethereum’s comparatively weaker brand recognition versus Bitcoin. This was highlighted by the lackluster response to the launch of spot ETH exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in August. The introduction of these ETFs failed to generate any meaningful price movement for ETH. Data further reveals a significant disparity in investor interest between the two assets. The total net assets held in U.S. spot ETH ETFs currently amount to $11.98 billion. In contrast, spot BTC ETFs hold $109.66 billion – nearly ten times as much. Additionally, yesterday saw over $60 million in outflows from spot ETH ETFs, marking the largest single-day outflow since November 19. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that social sentiment around ETH has reached its lowest point in a year. However, based on historical trends, this could paradoxically signal a bullish opportunity for Ethereum. Futures traders have also turned bearish on ETH, as the aggregated premium for futures positions flipped negative for the first time since November 6. The market downturn triggered Ethereum’s largest liquidation event since December 9, with $299 million liquidated in a single day. Such large-scale liquidations often lead to cascading sell-offs and heightened price volatility. Another recurring concern stems from the Ethereum Foundation’s tendency to sell ETH near local price peaks. In a recent X post, Lookonchain noted that the Ethereum Foundation sold 100 ETH on December 17. Following this sale, ETH’s price has dropped approximately 17%. Further skepticism surrounds Ethereum’s supply issuance. A recent Binance Research report highlighted that ETH’s relatively high issuance rate raises questions about its “ultrasound money” narrative, which suggests Ethereum is a deflationary asset. Is Ethereum Set For A Bounce? Seasoned crypto analyst @Trader_XO stated that they bought spot ETH at the $3,200 price level yesterday. The analyst added that they expect “a good few weeks” of price consolidation before ETH’s next leg up. Related Reading: 7.8M Ethereum Leaves Binance In Two Months—What Does This Mean for ETH? Meanwhile, crypto trader @CryptoShadowOff identified a potential ascending triangle formation on ETH’s monthly chart. According to their analysis, ETH could drop further to the $2,800 range before targeting a new all-time high (ATH). Market analyst @CryptoBullet1 emphasized that on the 4-hour chart, ETH has not been this oversold since August 5, indicating a bounce may be on the horizon. At press time, ETH trades at $3,400, down 6% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, charts from Coinglass, X, and Tradingview.com
Ethereum spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have logged 16 consecutive days of positive daily inflows, renewing optimism for ETH’s potential new all-time high (ATH) in the coming weeks. However, for ETH to reach this milestone, it must surpass the critical resistance level of $4,000. Ethereum Spot ETFs Attracting Consistent Inflows According to data from SoSoValue, Ethereum spot ETF inflows have remained consistently positive since November 22. The cumulative net inflows total $2.32 billion, with a significant $1.5 billion added between November 22 and December 16 alone. Related Reading: Ethereum Finally Set For A New All-Time High? Here’s What Analysts Say Breaking it down by weekly inflows, the week ending December 13 saw net inflows of $854.85 million, closely followed by $836.69 million during the week ending December 6. Moreover, the total net assets held by Ethereum ETFs have climbed to $14.28 billion, which represents approximately 2.93% of ETH’s total circulating supply. Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust (ETHE) ranks as the largest holder with $5.87 billion in net assets, followed by Blackrock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) with $4.02 billion. These strong inflows into Ethereum ETFs have bolstered bullish sentiment, with Ethereum bulls anticipating a possible rally to a new ATH for the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Crypto analyst Momin Saqib took X to share his thoughts on ETH price action. The analyst noted that ETH looks poised to break through the local highs of the $4,000 range and is eyeing the $4,500 price level. He added: Ethereum inflows have been coming in non-stop for the last few weeks! After seeing $BTC at $107K…. I think institutions don’t have much options left to bet on higher upside of crypto industry! Higher! Looking at Ethereum’s weekly chart, the digital asset has made four significant attempts to break through the $4,000 resistance level. While it briefly surpassed this level during its second attempt, creating its current ATH of $4,878, it ultimately proved to be a false breakout, followed by a prolonged bear market over the next two years. Analyst Rekt Capital noted that ETH’s post-breakout retest of the $3,100 price level was successful, propelling the cryptocurrency back into the $4,000 zone. They highlighted that ETH has held above the $4,000 zone as support for the second consecutive week, a key development that could pave the way for further upward momentum. Despite The Potential Upside, ETH Traders Remain Cautious While strengthening fundamentals, bullish technical indicators, and persistent ETF inflows paint a positive picture for Ethereum, some analysts remain cautiously optimistic about ETH’s short-term price action. Related Reading: Ethereum Crosses $3,800: Is The ‘God Candle’ Nearing? Analysts Weigh In For instance, analyst CryptoBullet emphasized that ETH may see a quick wick to $3,700 before rebounding. The analyst added that ETH’s ability to hold above key resistance levels indicates its strong bullish momentum. Another factor potentially dampening short-term optimism is Justin Sun, founder of Tron (TRX), who recently unstaked $208 million worth of ETH from Lido Finance. This move has raised concerns about potential selling pressure. ETH trades at $3,947 at press time, down 0.2% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, Charts from SoSoValue, X and TradingView.com
The Ethereum price could face some turbulence, as Justin Sun, the founder of Tron (TRX), has unstaked a whopping $209 million from Lido Finance, a liquid decentralized staking platform for Ethereum. Compared to top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE), the Ethereum price has had a relatively muted performance, skyrocketing to $4,000 before consolidating and struggling to move higher. With the possibility of more sell-offs, Ethereum could see its price crashing down if Sun decides to dump more coins. Justin Sun Dumps ETH New reports from Spot On Chain, an AI-driven crypto platform, revealed that Sun recently applied to withdraw a staggering 52,905 ETH tokens worth about $209 million from Lido Finance. According to the on-chain data, this massive withdrawal was part of the ETH stash Sun allegedly accumulated between February and August 2024. Spot On Chain has revealed that the total amount of Ethereum Sun bought within this period amounted to 392,474 ETH tokens, valued at $1.19 billion. All of these tokens were purchased via three wallet addresses at an average price of $3,027. Presently, the total profit the Tron founder has acquired since his purchase is up to $349 million, representing a 29% increase from its purchasing price. Interestingly, on October 24, Sun had unstaked a massive 80,251 ETH tokens, worth over $131 million, from Lido Finance. Four days later, he transferred the entire amount to Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange. This notable move took place just before the price of Ethereum had dropped sharply by 5% in mid-October, which could have resulted in a loss for Sun. Unsurprisingly, this is not the first time Sun has dumped Ethereum. Spot On Chain revealed earlier this month that the Tron Founder had been cashing in his Ethereum holdings during the market rally. In November, Sun deposited 19,000 ETH worth $60.83 million to HTX, a crypto exchange. Additionally, he transferred 29,920 ETH valued at $119.7 million to HTX again after its price surpassed $4,000 over the past week. These are just a few transactions the Tron founder has made with ETH over the past month. Given Sun’s history of large-scale asset movements, further sell-offs could impact the already fragile Ethereum market. Nevertheless, the lingering question remains whether the Tron founder will continue his Ethereum dumping spree. Ethereum Price Crash Ahead? While Sun has not publicly commented on his recent large-scale Ethereum withdrawals, the size and timing of these transactions could pose a problem for the altcoin’s future trajectory. Historically, large ETH liquidations have triggered a price crash due to increasing selling pressures. Related Reading: Time To Sell XRP? Price Completes Head And Shoulder Pattern, Suggesting Crash To $2.2 Is Imminent With the price of Ethereum still unstable and aiming for a stronger upward rally, further large-scale ETH dumps could exacerbate market volatility, especially if other investors or whales follow suit. For now, the price of Ethereum seems to be performing well, recording a more than 7% increase in the last seven days and a 28% surge over the past month, according to CoinMarketCap.

For the first time in over three years, Ethereum (ETH) has reached the significant price milestone of $4,100. This level has proven to be a key resistance point for investors, especially as the leading altcoin struggled to breach it during the bullish momentum experienced in the first quarter of this year. Poised For Rally If It Breaks $4,000-$4,100 Resistance? The renewed bullish sentiment among crypto investors has led analysts to forecast potential new all-time highs for Ethereum, surpassing its previous record of $4,878, set in November 2021. For instance, crypto analyst Justin Bennett noted on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) that ETH had previously faced technical barriers in surpassing the $4,000 threshold and acknowledged that Bitcoin has been the focal point of market attention in December. Related Reading: MicroStrategy Raises Stakes, Acquires $1.5 Billion In Bitcoin Amid Positive Market Outlook However, the analyst emphasized that if ETH’s price can successfully navigate the critical $4,000 to $4,100 range in the short term, it could pave the way for a rally back toward its all-time high zone, with the potential to reach mid-$5,000 levels, thereby completing the current bullish channel for the altcoin. Bennet also suggested that now is the opportune moment for the ETH price to target a new all-time high as he believes that the altcoin could see “some of those Bitcoin (BTC) profits” flow into the Ethereum market soon. Ethereum Price To Reach $15,937 By May 2025? Adding to this bullish outlook, market expert VentureFounder shared even more optimistic predictions, anticipating an extended bullish momentum for ETH over the next seven months, and projecting it to reach a new all-time high of $15,937 by May 2025. VentureFounder linked this forecast to historical patterns, noting that the first quarter following Bitcoin’s Halving events typically initiates a surge toward new record highs. He further indicated that Ethereum often enjoys a year of strong performance after such Halving events, the latest of which occurred in April of this year. This year has already seen significant similarities with the past for both Bitcoin and Ethereum. Prior to Bitcoin’s Halving, the cryptocurrency experienced a substantial rally, fueled in part by the approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Related Reading: The $589 XRP Dream: Believers Aren’t ‘Delusional’ Enough, Expert Says At the time, the Bitcoin price reached a new all-time high just above $70,000 in March, and it has since risen by more than 50% to a new record of $107,000, despite challenging second and third quarter price action. Ethereum also experienced significant growth, posting its strongest first quarter in more than three years, rising from $2,260 in February to nearly 100% in just 30 days. However, it remained below the $4,100 threshold until recently, consistent with Bitcoin’s increasing trajectory. Overall, VentureFounder’s analysis, together with the price movements of both Ethereum and Bitcoin this year, gives a solid foundation for believing that ETH may be poised for significant rises in the coming months if the experts’ projections and prior patterns hold true. At the time of writing, ETH is attempting to consolidate at around $4,014. This level will be crucial for determining whether further upward momentum will occur in the coming days or if additional tests of price support are on the horizon.

Ethereum is on the verge of reclaiming the $4,000 level as it inches closer to its all-time highs. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap has faced skepticism throughout this cycle, with some analysts predicting it would underperform compared to its previous bull runs. However, Ethereum has surprised doubters, steadily climbing in recent weeks despite market uncertainty. Related Reading: ONDO Exchange Inflows Grow – Volatility Ahead? Key on-chain metrics from Glassnode reveal an important trend that could fuel further price gains: Ethereum whales have been accumulating aggressively since late November. This signals growing confidence among major holders, who are positioning themselves for potential upside. Historically, whale accumulation has often preceded significant price moves, hinting at the possibility of a breakout in the near term. While the market remains divided on Ethereum’s trajectory, its ability to sustain upward momentum near the $4,000 mark will likely define its performance in the weeks ahead. Breaking above this critical resistance could open the door to new highs and further solidify ETH’s role as a leader in the ongoing bull cycle. Ethereum Mega-Whale Balances Grow Ethereum has experienced a steady, albeit modest, rally since November 5, but it seems the real fireworks for ETH are yet to ignite. As Bitcoin soars into price discovery and several altcoins outperform expectations, Ethereum investors are searching for clear signals of an impending bull run for the second-largest cryptocurrency. Key on-chain data shared by top analyst Ali Martinez on X provides intriguing insights into Ethereum’s current state. Martinez highlights that Ethereum whales—entities holding significant amounts of ETH—have been accumulating aggressively since the price broke above the $3,330 level. This accumulation trend suggests that smart money is positioning itself for what could be a massive upward move in the months ahead. Historically, whale accumulation has often been a precursor to strong price rallies, as these large investors tend to anticipate major market shifts before retail traders. However, the narrative isn’t entirely bullish. While whale accumulation may signal confidence, it also raises concerns about a potential bull trap. These large holders could quickly pivot, offloading their ETH for other assets if market conditions shift or if Bitcoin’s dominance suppresses altcoin growth. Such a move could catch smaller investors off guard, leading to sharp corrections.

Until then, ETH remains a watchlist favorite, balancing potential and uncertainty. Price Testing Crucial Resistance Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $3,950, struggling to break above the crucial $4,000 resistance level for several days. Despite this, the price remains resilient, signaling strong market support. Clearing this level is essential to confirm the continuation of the uptrend, as $4,000 represents a psychological barrier and a key resistance zone for the asset. If Ethereum fails to breach the $4,000 mark, a retrace toward lower demand zones around $3,500 could be expected. This level has served as strong support in recent weeks, providing a cushion during periods of increased selling pressure. A pullback to this area could allow for renewed buying momentum, setting the stage for another attempt to break higher. Related Reading: Dogecoin Will See New ATH Soon – Top Trader Sets $2 Target However, recent market dynamics suggest Ethereum may be poised for a significant move upward. Bitcoin’s surge into price discovery and growing optimism around altcoins have created a bullish environment. With whales continuing to accumulate ETH, as highlighted by on-chain data, market participants are increasingly confident in Ethereum’s ability to retest and surpass its all-time highs. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView
Ethereum is making another attempt to break above the $4,000 level as it edges closer to its all-time highs. Despite its strong fundamentals, doubts linger in the market regarding Ethereum’s performance this cycle, with some expecting it to underperform amid stiff competition from other blockchain ecosystems. However, Ethereum’s recent price action suggests that it is building momentum, keeping investors on edge for a potential breakout. Related Reading: Bitcoin Stuck Between $99K And $102K – Analyst Explains Macro Situation Top analyst Carl Runefelt recently shared a technical analysis, noting that Ethereum has encountered strong resistance near the $4,000 mark and is now consolidating within a symmetrical triangle on the hourly chart. This pattern often precedes a decisive move, leaving traders speculating whether ETH will break out to new highs or face a temporary pullback. Ethereum’s performance at this key level will likely shape market sentiment in the coming weeks. A breakout above $4,000 could pave the way for a rally toward its all-time high, reigniting investor confidence. On the other hand, failure to clear this resistance might validate bearish concerns and lead to a retrace. As ETH remains at a critical juncture, all eyes are on its ability to navigate this pivotal zone and deliver the next major move. Ethereum Preparing To Move Ethereum has been grappling with significant resistance above the $4,100 level, leaving the market in suspense as traders anticipate its next move. With the price consolidating and showing signs of tension, Ethereum appears ready to make a decisive move in the coming days. The critical question remains: will it break higher, or is a pullback imminent? Runefelt shared his insights on X, pointing out that Ethereum is currently trading within a symmetrical triangle on the hourly chart—a pattern known for signaling potential breakouts or breakdowns. According to Runefelt, Ethereum’s immediate future hinges on two key levels. A breakout above $4,100 would confirm a bullish trajectory, likely propelling ETH toward new highs. Conversely, a breakdown below $3,675 would signal bearish sentiment, opening the door for a deeper correction.

As Ethereum holds its position near critical resistance, the next few days are shaping up to be pivotal for determining its market direction. Technical Levels To Watch Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading at $3,840 after failing to break above the critical $4,000 resistance level. While the price remains strong and within range of this key level, it needs to clear $4,000 to confirm the continuation of its uptrend. Without a decisive breakout, ETH risks losing momentum, leaving traders and investors cautious about the next move. The $4,000 level has proven to be a significant psychological and technical barrier for Ethereum, with multiple attempts to break it being met with selling pressure. A successful breach of this resistance would likely pave the way for ETH to target higher levels, potentially pushing toward the yearly high of $4,100 and beyond.

The $3,500 area is emerging as a critical support level that traders are closely monitoring. A dip to this level could provide a strong foundation for a bounce, but losing this support might signal a shift toward bearish sentiment. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView
Ethereum is attempting to break above the critical $4,000 level as it edges closer to its all-time high. The market has shown skepticism regarding Ethereum’s performance in this cycle, with some analysts predicting it might underperform compared to previous bullish phases. Despite this doubt, Ethereum has proven its resilience, consistently finding demand at key support levels and maintaining a bullish price structure. Related Reading: Dogecoin Will See New ATH Soon – Top Trader Sets $2 Target Adding to the optimism, on-chain data from IntoTheBlock highlights a strong foundation for Ethereum’s network activity this week. Metrics such as active addresses, transaction volumes, and net flows suggest a healthy ecosystem, reinforcing the potential for ETH to continue its upward trajectory. These indicators reveal increasing participation and growing confidence among investors, even amid broader market uncertainties. As Ethereum approaches a critical resistance, all eyes are on whether it can maintain momentum and push past $4,000. If successful, this breakout could reignite bullish sentiment and pave the way for ETH to retest its all-time highs, silencing doubters in the process. However, failure to clear this hurdle might result in further consolidation, keeping traders on edge as they anticipate Ethereum’s next major move. Ethereum Data Signals Strength Ethereum has been steadily climbing in recent weeks, fueled by a strong bullish trend that began earlier this month. The price momentum is catching the attention of top analysts and investors, who are closely watching for a breakout above yearly highs as ETH edges closer to its all-time high (ATH). The anticipation in the market is palpable, with many viewing this as a pivotal moment for Ethereum to solidify its position in this bull cycle. Top analyst Ali Martinez recently shared on-chain metrics from IntoTheBlock, revealing a robust outlook for Ethereum’s network this week. Active addresses have increased by 4.24%, signaling heightened participation and interest among users. Similarly, new addresses have risen by 2.65%, suggesting growing adoption and investor activity. Notably, zero-balance addresses have decreased by 4.06%, indicating that dormant wallets are coming back to life, and ETH is being reactivated for transactions or investments. These positive metrics highlight building momentum for Ethereum, reinforcing the belief that it is poised for a significant price move. If ETH successfully breaks above its yearly highs, it could trigger a powerful rally, potentially setting new records. However, a failure to maintain upward momentum could see Ethereum retreat to consolidate further before attempting another breakout. Related Reading: Solana To New ATH Before Christmas – Analyst Expects $300 Soon With its fundamentals strengthening and the market aligning for a breakout, Ethereum appears ready to make its next major move. Whether it’s targeting new all-time highs or finding support for another push, the coming weeks will likely be crucial in determining Ethereum’s trajectory for the remainder of the bull cycle. As sentiment builds, all eyes remain on Ethereum’s ability to capitalize on its growing momentum. ETH Testing Supply Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading at $3,920, showing resilience after several failed attempts to break above the critical $4,000 resistance level. This price point remains a psychological and technical barrier for ETH, and clearing it is essential to confirm the continuation of its bullish uptrend. The market’s attention is focused on Ethereum’s ability to reclaim the $4,000 level, which would likely serve as a catalyst for a strong rally toward new yearly highs. However, the inability to decisively breach this resistance has kept ETH in a consolidative phase, leaving some uncertainty about its next move. If Ethereum fails to maintain its current momentum and breaks above $4,000 in the coming sessions, the price could face increased selling pressure. A retracement toward lower demand levels around $3,500 is likely in such a scenario. This level has previously acted as a robust support zone, and a retest could provide the foundation for another upward attempt.

In a post on X, Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Assets Research at investment management firm VanEck, suggested that Microsoft may be open to invest in an Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded fund (ETF) if it fulfills the company’s yield requirements.

In a price prediction shared on X, Tom Dunleavy, Chief Investment Officer (CIO) at MV Global—formerly known as Master Ventures—outlined his bullish projections for major cryptocurrencies in 2025. MV Global is a blockchain-focused venture studio renowned for building infrastructure companies aimed at advancing blockchain adoption, with investments spanning prominent entities such as Coinbase, Kraken, Ripple, Circle, and Bitfinex. Dunleavy’s forecast positions Bitcoin (BTC) at a target of $250,000 and Ethereum (ETH) at $12,000 by the end of 2025. Additionally, he anticipates Solana (SOL) reaching $700. These projections are underpinned by an analysis that draws parallels between historical economic shifts and current policy movements within the United States. Dunleavy draws a comparison to the 1970s in the United States, specifically referencing President Nixon’s termination of the Gold Standard in 1971 as a pivotal economic shift. “If we look at the 1970s in the US, then President Nixon’s ending of the Gold Standard in 1971 could be seen as a similar pivot point as the shift we see with the Trump administration’s embrace of crypto,” Dunleavy stated. Related Reading: Anthony Scaramucci Foresees China Bitcoin Strategic Reserve In 2025 He noted that following Nixon’s move, gold prices surged approximately sixfold within three years before experiencing a retracement, ultimately reaching a peak of twenty times the initial value by the decade’s end. Dunleavy suggests that a comparable trajectory could unfold for Bitcoin and altcoins under the upcoming administration’s policies. Quarterly Bitcoin And Crypto Predictions For 2025 Q1 2025: MV Global anticipates a sharp uptrend fueled by increasing excitement surrounding the new administration. “Trump’s first 100 days lead to a realization that the crypto agenda is actually top of mind,” Dunleavy explained. He expects a rapid market start, facilitated by the Biden administration’s cooperation in the transition process. Significant legislative advancements are anticipated within the first 100 days, particularly concerning market structure and stablecoins. Related Reading: Bitwise Forecast: Bitcoin, Ethereum, And Solana Poised For Record Highs In 2025 “We also place a higher chance on meaningful progress towards a BTC strategic reserve and the game theory of subsequent nation state adoption,” Dunleavy adds. However, a market correction is expected as the US tax season approaches, with March historically being a challenging month for Bitcoin. Q2 2025: The second quarter is projected to witness a gradual yet consistent upward movement as institutional investors increasingly enter the asset class. “ Slow but steady march upward as more institutions come on board,”Dunleavy writes. He highlights the potential approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs by major Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) and brokerage firms such as Merrill Lynch and Charles Schwab. “ETH leads as the lack of a SOL ETF is a short-term impediment to institutional flows,” he noted, indicating that Ethereum may benefit more immediately from institutional adoption compared to Solana. Q3 2025: Summer is expected to bring a period of consolidation, with prices experiencing sideways movement. “Summer lull. Prices chop down,” Dunleavy predicts. The introduction of a spot Solana ETF or other crypto ETFs could provide a catalyst to break this stagnation. September is identified by the CIO as a critical month for potential Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rulings, which could significantly influence market dynamics. Q4 2025: The final quarter is anticipated to see a robust surge towards the year’s end, culminating in a blow-off top scenario. “Strong flurry into year end. Blow off top that we think bleeds into Q1 2026. This cycle peaks well into 2026 as the passive ETF bid keeps a very strong floor,” Dunleavy concludes. At press time, BTC traded at $100,812.

Ethereum (ETH) continues to hover around the critical $4,000 resistance level, a price point many believe could determine the cryptocurrency’s next major move. However, a strong weekly close has sparked optimism among analysts, suggesting that ETH could be on track to reach a new all-time high (ATH) soon. Ethereum Heading To New ATH? Experts Weigh In While cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL), and XRP have experienced explosive growth this year, ETH’s price momentum has been relatively subdued. According to CoinGecko, Ethereum has recorded gains of 62% over the past year, falling short compared to other trending digital assets. Related Reading: Analyst Confirms Ethereum Golden Cross As ETH Surges Past $4,000 – Is Altseason In Sight? However, ETH’s performance relative to other cryptocurrencies has not deterred ETH bulls from aiming for new ATHs for the cryptocurrency. For instance, seasoned crypto analyst Pentoshi recently took to X to explain the significance of ETH’s “structural changes” and the consistently large inflows attracted by spot ETH exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Pentoshi noted that Ethereum has not only recorded a higher high on the weekly chart, but also had its highest weekly close of the year. The analyst added that, given its current price of slightly below $4,000, there is not much resistance to ATH, which “should act as a magnet” for further gains. Another crypto analyst, @CryptoPoseidonn highlighted that ETH is set to break out of its “4-year, 1,460-day range to the upside.” In a chart, the analyst marked out the different Fibonacci extension levels to identify potential price targets for ETH. According to the chart, ETH can rise to $6,000 at the 1.272 extension level, $7,400 at the 1.618 extension level, and $11,400 at the 2.618 extension level. ETH can rise “much higher, far beyond your worst nightmares,” the analyst added. In a shorter time frame, Satoshi Flipper, another well-known analyst, emphasized that ETH attempts to break through an ascending channel in the 4-hour chart. He suggested that the current price, sitting on diagonal channel support, might present a “nice entry” point, predicting that the next impulsive move could take ETH to $4,400. ETH Bulls Cautiously Optimistic Although there is high anticipation for a new ETH ATH, some experts opine that there may still be a few hurdles before the digital asset records a new ATH price. For instance, ETH crossing the $4,000 level may lead to increased risks of profit-taking, potentially resulting in a short-term correction. Related Reading: Ethereum Risk-Reward Ratio Is Now Attractive, Brokerage Firm Explains However, Ethereum’s fundamentals remain robust, adding to its bullish outlook. For instance, ETH active addresses and large value transactions have shown an uptick, reflecting increased on-chain activity during the recent rally. Additionally, some analysts believe ETH could follow a trajectory similar to Bitcoin’s 2021 bull run, with the potential to reach $10,000. ETH trades at $3,847 at press time, down 3.9% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, charts from X and Tradingview.com
In a significant market development, Ethereum (ETH) has surpassed the $4,000 mark for the first time in over ten months, closing the first week of December with a remarkable 40% surge in the weekly time frame. This upswing has been closely tied to a broader rally in the crypto market, particularly with Bitcoin (BTC), which recently reached new all-time highs. Ethereum Surges 61% As ETF Demand Grows According to Bloomberg, Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States experienced unprecedented demand, recording a daily inflow of $428 million on Thursday alone. This surge in investment interest reflects a growing confidence in Ethereum, particularly following Donald Trump’s election victory on November 5, which ignited a bullish sentiment across the crypto landscape. Since then, Ethereum has outperformed Bitcoin, boasting a staggering 61% increase in value. Related Reading: Trump’s Crypto Czar David Sacks Is Super Bullish For Solana: Here’s Why The appointment of Paul Atkins to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has further bolstered enthusiasm for Ethereum. Atkins, a proponent of pro-crypto regulation and a member of the advisory board for the advocacy group Token Alliance, is seen as a positive force for the crypto industry. Bloomberg suggests that under his leadership, the restrictions preventing investors from earning yield on staked Ether through ETFs could be reconsidered, enhancing the appeal of these investment vehicles. Altcoin Season In Full Swing Nick Forster, founder of the crypto trading platform Derive.xyz, noted, “Now that Bitcoin has hit $100,000, it appears that investors are seeking the next opportunity.” Forster highlighted that Ethereum remains significantly below its all-time high of $4,878 reached in November 2021, prompting many investors to shift their focus and explore the potential for gains in altcoins like ETH. The increasing interest in Ethereum is also evident in the derivatives market, where open interest in Ether futures contracts on CME Group Inc. has reached record levels, significantly outpacing the growth in Bitcoin futures. Le Shi, managing director at market-making firm Auros, remarked that US institutions tend to favor regulated investment vehicles, resulting in a higher concentration of activity in CME Ether futures and ETH ETFs. Additionally, the founders of Glassnode—Yan Allemann, Jan Happel, and Rafael Schutlze-Kraft—have pointed to the resilience of altcoins amid Bitcoin’s recent volatility.

The Altcoin Index hitting 100 further confirms that the market is in the midst of an “Altcoin Season,” with expectations for significant moves as the weekend approaches. Looking ahead, the outlook for the market’ second largest crypto remains optimistic, with increasing expectations for both institutional and retail investments as the current market cycle unfolds. Analysts have already predicted that gains could soon surpass Ethereum’s previous all-time price, setting the stage for a potentially transformative period in the cryptocurrency market. At the time of writing, ETH trades at $3,990. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
Crypto analyst BallaJi has provided insights into how the Ethereum price breakout could happen and even raised the possibility of ETH reaching $18,000. Ethereum currently boasts a bullish outlook, having recently broken above $4,000 for the first time since March of this year. How The Ethereum Price Could Reach $18,000 In a TradingView post, BallaJi predicted that the Ethereum price could reach $18,000. The crypto analyst explained that based on logarithmic projections, the measured move of this HVF could send Ethereum to the target. He provided a caveat, stating that the price rally to the target might not happen in 2025. Related Reading: Analyst Says Bitcoin Price At $100,000 Is A ‘Dangerous Zone’, Predicts Massive Crash However, he is confident that if this bullish pattern is completed, then the Ethereum price could reach this $18,000 price target later on this decade. A rally to this price target would give Ethereum a market cap of around $2 trillion based on its circulating supply of 120.44 million ETH. Meanwhile, BallaJi highlighted three logarithmic targets on the chart, with $18,000 being the third and last target. The first and second targets are at $3,818 and $6,236 respectively. In an update on the trade setup, the crypto analyst noted that the Ethereum price has reached, broken, and retested the first target at $3,818. With the trade now active, BallaJi provided insights into how the Ethereum price could continue this upward trend using linear measured moves. The accompanying chart he shared showed that the next linear target is at $5,193; a rally to that target would mark a new all-time high (ATH) for ETH, with its current ATH at $4,800. Meanwhile, the next linear target is at $7,299. BallaJi’s chart showed that the Ethereum price should hit these price targets by next year. A rally to the $7,299 target could then pave the way for ETH to reach $18,000, although the analyst already warned that it might not happen in 2025. Countdown To New ATH Has Begun In an X post, crypto analyst Justin Bennett stated that the countdown to a new ATH for the Ethereum price has begun. According to the analyst, ETH could rally quickly above $5,000 as it breaks several levels this week. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that the quick rally above $5,000 could lead Ethereum to hit $6,300. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Analysis: Ascending Triangle On 2-Hour Chart Shows DOGE Is Still Very Bullish Crypto analyst Titan of Crypto also predicted that an Ethereum price rally to $5,000 is imminent. He stated that ETH’s market structure mirrors BTC’s from a few weeks ago. He remarked that the $5,000 target is just the minimum as he believes that Ethereum will likely go higher. At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $3,980, up almost 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Ethereum (ETH) surged past $4,000 earlier today for the first time since March 2024. Having surpassed a key price level with a golden cross, analysts are confident that this could signal the beginning of the highly anticipated altcoin season. How Far Can The Golden Cross Push Ethereum? Ethereum, the leading smart contract blockchain saw its native ETH token rise beyond $4,000 today. What’s interesting is that ETH is not only showing signs of strength against USDT but also against Bitcoin (BTC). Related Reading: Ethereum To Pull A BTC 2021-Like Rally? Analyst Shares Massive Prediction In the ETH/BTC daily trading chart below, it can be seen that ETH has been making gains against the top cryptocurrency. The ETH/BTC trading pair has surged from 0.032 on November 21 to 0.04 at the time of writing. Continued strength against BTC is important for any potential upcoming altseason — a period marked by altcoins outperforming BTC as the latter continues to trade sideways within a range. Crypto analyst @venturefounder took to X to confirm that ETH has completed its first golden cross of the year on the daily chart. The analyst highlighted the bullish momentum a golden cross can impart to ETH’s price, stating: Last time this happened, Ethereum was still in the consolidation stages of the bear market but it still went +129%. In the 2021 bull market, the last goldencross took ETH +2,323%. For the uninitiated, a golden cross in trading is a bullish technical indicator that occurs when a short-term moving average crosses above a long-term moving average. In ETH’s context, the 50-day MA has crossed above the 200-day MA, a sign of a strong rally or trend reversal. Another crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa indicated that if ETH decisively breaks through the $4,000 level, its next resistance level could be around the $4,800 to $5,000 price level. According to CoinGecko, ETH’s current all-time high (ATH) value is $4,878 recorded back in November 2021. It is also worth highlighting that Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETF) are finally starting to get attention from institutional investors. According to data from SoSoValue, US-based spot ETH ETFs attracted $428 million in daily total net inflows on December 5. Altseason On The Horizon? Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D), a key metric often used to determine the onset of the altseason has been on a continual decline over the past three weeks. BTC.D has crashed from about 61% to 55%, indicating strong recent performance by altcoins against BTC. Altcoin’s resilience during yesterday’s BTC flash crash to $90,500 is another bullish sign hinting toward a potential altcoin rally in the coming days. In addition, altcoin analyst Crypto Amsterdam noted that it may be time for mid-cap altcoins to start their parabolic cycle. Related Reading: Ethereum Risk-Reward Ratio Is Now Attractive, Brokerage Firm Explains With high anticipation for an Ethereum ‘god candle’ that may catapult the digital asset to $5,000, the coming days are bound to be exciting for altcoin bulls.

The Ethereum price has returned above the $3,800 price level on the back of a 5% increase in the past 24 hours. Interestingly, this Ethereum price increase has come amidst a simultaneous increase in the performance of ETH against BTC in recent weeks. According to crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen, this recent price action might actually be the earliest stages of Ethereum’s price increase against Bitcoin within the next six to 12 months. Analysing The ETH/BTC Pair The last two weeks were highlighted by a consolidation of the Bitcoin price below the $99,000 price level as investors continued to await a break above $100,000. Amidst this Bitcoin price correction, the Ethereum price kickstarted a notable increase from the $3,340 level on November 26. This rally allowed Ethereum and many other altcoins to outperform Bitcoin, leading to speculation about whether the crypto market is now in the initial phases of a long-awaited altcoin season. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price To $100,000: Why Reclaiming The $96,400 Level Is Very Important For Another Rally According to technical analysis from popular crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen, this might be the earliest recovery stage for the ETH/BTC pair. Taking to social media platform X, Cowen remarked that the ETH/BTC pair recently bottomed out at 0.03187, which aligns closely with his previously forecasted worst-case scenario of 0.03. Back in 2023, Cowen had predicted a substantial decline in the ETH/BTC pair. Back then, the ETH/BTC pair was trading around 0.066, but he predicted that it could drop by over 45% at that point. Interestingly, this prediction has materialized as Ethereum’s valuation relative to Bitcoin has been on a decline since the last quarter of 2023 up until recent weeks. Fast forward to December 2024; Ethereum has rebounded and is performing well against Bitcoin. Particularly, the ETH/BTC pair is currently around 0.0396, up 24% from a 2024 low of 0.03187. This resurgence prompted Cowen to re-examine the ETH/BTC pair, and his outlook has turned positive. Historical Trends Suggest A Seasonal Rebound Cowen highlighted Ethereum’s historical tendencies, noting that the ETH/BTC pair often gains momentum in December or January. If this trend holds and the ETH/BTC pair gains momentum in December, Ethereum may already be in the early stages of recovery. However, if it was to wait until January, a sweep of prior lows at 0.03187 and possibly 0.03 remains possible but increasingly unlikely. He added that within a few months, the exact bottom might become irrelevant. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Continues Trading Sideways But Bullish Pennant Says Get Ready For $1.30 Looking ahead, Cowen projected a 6-12 month horizon for significant gains in the ETH/BTC pair. Such a move would be highlighted by the Ethereum price outperforming the Bitcoin price and a full altcoin season. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $3,845. Bitcoin, on the other hand, has finally broken above the $100,000 mark and is currently trading at $103,000. The ETH/BTC pair is currently trading at 0.03755.

Ethereum (ETH) appears to be finally waking up from its slumber as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap has jumped 8% in the past 24 hours, surpassing the key $3,800 price level. Is An ETH God Candle On The Horizon? Ethereum’s rise appears to align with declining Bitcoin (BTC) dominance. This important metric is tracked to gauge the proportion of the total crypto market cap commanded by the top cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Ethereum Jumps 10% As DeFi Sentiment Rebounds With Trump’s Victory According to the chart below, BTC dominance has been falling dramatically over the past two weeks – sliding from 61.1% on November 20 to 54.9% at the time of writing. As previously reported, trading firm QCP Capital highlighted BTC dominance sliding below 58% as a key condition that could signal the onset of the altcoin season. With ETH now surpassing the $3,800 level, analysts are weighing in on how far the digital asset can rally. Crypto analyst @venturefounder shared his target for ETH on X, pointing to a prolonged cup-and-handle pattern forming for ETH since November 2021. He noted that if ETH decisively breaks $3,800, it could climb as high as $7,346. Similarly, crypto analyst Ali Martinez shared his insights on ETH’s recent price action. Martinez emphasized that the $3,300 support level could be a ‘potential buying opportunity’ should the digital asset pullback from its recent surge. Martinez added that his mid-term target for ETH remains $6,000, while the long-term target is $10,000. The analyst also highlighted the Ethereum network’s steady growth over the past month, with more than 134,000 new Ethereum addresses added daily. Another crypto enthusiast, @MisterSpread noted that if ETH breaks the $4,000 area, there is a “high chance we see a God candle to $5,000.” Indeed, ETH breaking out of a three-year long downtrend and attempting to establish a new all-time high (ATH) has piqued the attention of the entire crypto industry. Ethereum Fundamentals Continue Getting Stronger Although BTC has led much of the current crypto rally, experts believe Ethereum might be the time to shine due to the multiple positive developments in the top smart contract platform. For instance, Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETF) are finally attracting large daily inflows, rivaling BTC ETFs consistently. Further, several proposed network upgrades – including the Ethereum Improvement Proposal-7781 and the possibility of reduction in the amount of ETH required to participate in network staking could serve as catalysts for ETH to hit a new ATH. That said, concerns remain about ETH’s ‘ultrasound money’ narrative due to the inflation surge witnessed in the cryptocurrency’s issuance rate. ETH trades at $3,820 at press time, up 8 % in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, Charts from X.com and Tradingview.com
Crypto analysts have revealed that the Ethereum price is about to confirm a golden cross on the daily time frame. This provides a bullish outlook for Ethereum, as it enjoyed a parabolic rally the last time this happened. Ethereum Price To Confirm Golden Cross, What Next? In an X post, crypto analyst Tony Severino mentioned that the Ethereum price is heading to a golden cross this week. This golden cross occurs when a short-term moving average (MA), like the 50-day MA, crosses a long-term MA, like the 200-day MA. This typically indicates that the crypto in question is set to enjoy a long-term upward trend. Related Reading: Analyst Says Dogecoin Price At $1.3-$1.5 Is Still Possible, Here’s Why Crypto analyst Charting Guy also confirmed this development for the Ethereum price and provided insights into what happened the last time Ethereum witnessed this golden cross. In an X post, the crypto analyst shared a chart that showed what happened combined with the fractal from that time. Coincidentally, the last time the Ethereum price confirmed this golden cross on the daily timeframe was between November and December last year. Following the Golden Cross, Ethereum rallied from around $1,800 last year to a local top of around $3,600 in March earlier this year. If history were to repeat itself, the Ethereum price could again witness such a sustained upward trend into the new year. Charting Guy’s accompanying chart showed that Ethereum could rally to as high as $8,000 sometime between March and May next year. Ethereum is already showing signs of an upward momentum, having rallied these last few days while Bitcoin consolidates. The Ethereum price has already reclaimed the local top of $3,600 from earlier in the year. Meanwhile, Blockchain Center data shows that it is already altcoin season. This is when Ethereum and other altcoins record significant gains while Bitcoin’s dominance cools off. For context, over 75% of the top 50 crypto have outperformed BTC in the last 90 days. Breakout And Then Moon In an X post, crypto analyst Titan of Crypto suggested that an Ethereum price breakout was imminent. He stated that once ETH escapes the 3-year symmetrical triangle, it will rally to new heights. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that Ethereum could surpass its current all-time high (ATH) at $4,800 and rally as high as $7,000. Related Reading: Cardano Next In Line After XRP? ADA Price Targets $4.88 In Epic Breakout Crypto analyst Venture Founder also made a similar $7,000 prediction for the Ethereum price. This came as he highlighted a giant cup and handle triangle that has been forming for Ethereum since 2021. The analyst added that ETH could explode once it confirms the breakout above the $3,800 range. At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $3,670, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
Ethereum (ETH) now offers an attractive risk-reward ratio, according to analysts at research and brokerage firm Bernstein. Despite underperforming compared to other major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL), and XRP for most of 2024, Ethereum’s strong fundamentals may set the stage for a potential rally. Why Is Ethereum Struggling? Bernstein Analysts Explain Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap exceeding $430 billion, may be on the verge of significant positive price action. Bernstein analysts suggest that ETH’s fundamentals remain strong despite its underperformance, making it an appealing investment opportunity. To put Ethereum’s performance into perspective, on a year-to-date (YTD) basis, Bitcoin and Solana have surged 125% and 122%, respectively, while ETH has only managed a 57% increase. In a client note shared today, analysts led by Gautam Chhugani highlighted several factors contributing to Ethereum’s struggles. One issue is that ETH has not established itself as a store of value to the same extent as BTC. Additionally, the leading smart contract platform faces increasing competition from low-latency Layer 1 blockchains such as Solana, Sui, and Aptos. Related Reading: Ethereum Accumulation Rises As 70% Holders Are In Profit: What It Means For ETH Price? The note also pointed out that Ethereum’s reliance on Layer 2 blockchains, including Optimism, Arbitrum, and Base, often redirects users away from Ethereum’s main chain. This hampers user retention and limits transaction fee growth, creating a headwind for ETH’s price momentum. Is Now The Right Time To Buy ETH? Bernstein analysts argue that Ethereum’s outlook could improve substantially, particularly in light of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s recent election victory. Following Trump’s win, the total cryptocurrency market cap has surged over 45%, surpassing $3.5 trillion. Ethereum has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of this rally, gaining 46% since the election compared to Bitcoin’s 41% and Solana’s 36%. The analysts also noted key developments that could support Ethereum’s growth moving forward. They highlighted the increasing likelihood of staking yield approval in Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) under a Trump-led, crypto-friendly Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The analysts explained: We believe, under a new Trump 2.0 crypto-friendly SEC, ETH staking yield will likely be approved. The analysts added that Ethereum’s current yield rate of 3% could increase to as high as 4% to 5%, which could be an attractive yield rate for investors in a declining interest rate environment. Further, the recently observed growth in Ethereum ETFs in the form of higher inflows could benefit ETH. Although ETH ETFs had a lukewarm launch, they have recently outperformed Bitcoin ETFs in daily inflows. For instance, on November 29, spot ETH ETFs in the US attracted $332.9 million in inflows, compared to $320 million for Bitcoin ETFs.

In addition, Ethereum’s transition to a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus algorithm in September 2023 and the protocol’s burn mechanism have stabilized ETH’s total supply around 120 million. Of these, about 28% is tied in staking contracts while roughly 10% is in lending protocols or Layer 2 bridges. With a high proportion – close to 60% – of total ETH supply unmoved in the past year, the analysts at Bernstein believe the digital asset might benefit from favourable demand-supply dynamics. At press time, ETH trades at $3,644, down 1.8% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview.com

Ethereum has been making waves in the crypto market, reaching its highest levels since June after hitting a local high of $3,688 just hours ago. This impressive price action has sparked excitement among investors and analysts, with many anticipating further surges in the coming hours. Ethereum is now eyeing a breakout above its yearly highs, which could set the stage for an even more aggressive rally. Related Reading: Cardano Whales Buy The Dip – Metrics Show Increasing Demand Crypto analyst Carl Runefelt shared a technical analysis on X, highlighting the significance of Ethereum’s current resistance. According to Runefelt, ETH is at a critical juncture, facing a major resistance level that could determine its next move. Should Ethereum break above this barrier, it might quickly pump to $3,900, solidifying its bullish momentum. As the broader market sentiment remains strong, Ethereum’s price action remains unpredictable, especially as it leads altcoins in this upward trend. Investors are now eager to see whether ETH can maintain its upward trajectory and establish new milestones in the days ahead. Ethereum Reaching New Highs Ethereum is making headlines as it reaches new highs, riding the wave of bullish momentum while Bitcoin consolidates below the $100,000 mark. This rally has positioned Ethereum as a key driver in the altcoin market, which continues to post massive gains and attract investor attention. With the broader market sentiment improving, Ethereum’s performance is becoming a focal point for traders and analysts alike. Related Reading: XRP Consolidates Below Crucial Resistance – Analyst Sets $1.60 Target Crypto analyst Carl Runefelt recently shared a technical analysis on X, emphasizing Ethereum’s critical resistance level. According to Runefelt, Ethereum is currently at a make-or-break point. A successful breakout above this resistance could trigger a sharp rally, potentially sending ETH to $3,900. If this level is surpassed, Ethereum would likely target yearly highs above $4,000, solidifying its position as a leader in the ongoing market surge. The coming days will be crucial for Ethereum as traders closely watch its ability to maintain upward momentum and overcome these key price levels. With the altcoin market gaining strength and optimism growing, Ethereum’s next move could set the tone for the broader crypto landscape. Whether it achieves a breakout or consolidates further, the attention on Ethereum highlights its role in shaping this bullish market cycle. ETH Price At A Turning Point Ethereum is currently trading at $3,600, a crucial level that will define its next price direction. As the market watches closely, Ethereum’s ability to hold above this price will determine whether it can continue its bullish momentum or face a pullback. If ETH maintains strength above $3,600, it is likely to surge further, targeting the next significant milestone: yearly highs at $4,080. A breakout above this level would not only reaffirm the bullish trend but also position Ethereum for a potential continuation toward even higher levels. However, Ethereum could face a short-term correction if it fails to hold above $3,600. The first major demand zone lies at $3,400, which would act as a critical support level. A failure to sustain even this level could lead to further declines, with the next potential support zones forming at lower price ranges.

Market sentiment remains cautiously optimistic, with many analysts highlighting the importance of Ethereum’s current price action.

While Bitcoin (BTC) has reached new all-time highs this month, the Ethereum price has failed to experience a significant rally, befitting its position as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. However, a crypto analyst suggests that this bearish price action could soon end, as Ethereum (ETH) appears to be repeating its breakout pattern from the 2017 to 2018 cycle. Based on this analysis, the ETH price could be on track to hit a remarkable new price target above $20,000. Ethereum Price Eyes New Target Above $20,000 Mr Tycoon, a TradingView analyst, has shared his intense bullish outlook for the Ethereum price, suggesting that the number one altcoin in the crypto market could surge as high as $23,000 this cycle. The analyst shared his optimism about Ethereum’s recent price action, emphatically declaring that the altcoin is about to “send higher soon.” Ethereum last experienced a record-breaking price surge during the 2021 bull market, when it achieved an ATH above $4,800. The TradingView analyst has revealed that Ethereum’s fractal in the previous bull cycle versus this current cycle follows a similar pattern, indicating an imminent rally. Mr. Tycoon presented a detailed chart comparing Ethereum’s price movements in the 2017-2021 and 2021-2025 cycles. In the earlier four-year cycle, Ethereum hit a macro bottom in 2019, experiencing price fluctuations before recording a significant rally after Bitcoin broke an all-time high in 2021. A similar price action is also seen in this current four-year cycle, where Ethereum hit its macro bottom in 2022 and then declined significantly. Based on the analyst’s chart, Bitcoin reached an ATH in 2024, just like it did in the 2021 bull cycle. The TradingView analyst noted that historically, Ethereum starts pumping after Bitcoin enters a price discovery. This implies that Bitcoin typically leads the market cycles, and once it finds a new ATH, ETH tends to follow, experiencing a notable rally. With this in mind, Mr. Tycoon predicts a significant price increase for Ethereum, suggesting that it could surge past previous all-time highs and rise above $23,000. This impressive price rally would represent a 557% increase from the current market value of ETH. Analyst Reveals Best Time To Buy ETH While Ethereum is trading at $3,586 as of writing, a crypto analyst identified as ‘Crypto Ash’ has projected that a rally to $10,000 or $15,000 is highly probable for the top altcoin this bull cycle. The analyst revealed that the best time to start accumulating Ethereum was in December 2024, which represents a prime entry point for investors. His analysis indicates that, historically, Ethereum has experienced significant price growth from January to April after each Bitcoin halving year. This suggests that investors who begin purchasing ETH tokens as early as December may be well-positioned for gains if the ETH price rallies in Q1 2025.

Recent data from market intelligence firm Arkham Intel reveals that President-elect Donald Trump’s crypto portfolio has seen significant gains, coinciding with a robust uptrend in crypto prices following his election victory on November 5. Despite Bitcoin (BTC) being at the center of Trump’s presidential campaign, one notable asset among his holdings is Ethereum (ETH), of which he owns nearly 496 coins. This altcoin has been the standout performer among his investments, rising 38% over the past thirty days. Trump’s Crypto Holdings Shine Crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe pointed out a bullish divergence on Ethereum’s daily chart, suggesting that the current market dynamics are ripe for further growth. The analyst identified a key driver behind ETH’s recent performance: a significant drop in government bond yields. As these yields decline, van de Poppe suggests that investor interest in riskier assets like Ethereum tends to increase, propelling prices higher. Related Reading: Historic Bitcoin Buy: MicroStrategy Adds 55,500 More BTC To Its Portfolio For $5.4 Billion Van de Poppe elaborated that the ongoing fluctuations in the yield markets could significantly impact Ethereum’s trajectory. With Labor Market Week approaching, he speculated that if economic indicators are weak, the Federal Reserve might implement more rate cuts. Such actions would likely lead to lower yields, further boosting Ethereum’s price. Another analyst, Jesse Olson, echoed this optimistic outlook, noting that Ethereum’s dominance over Bitcoin is showing signs of a bullish divergence. His analysis indicates that positive momentum could soon lead to significant buying opportunities for ETH. As a result of these developments, Trump’s crypto holdings have surged by nearly $1.6 million within the past 24 hours, reflecting the positive market sentiment surrounding Ethereum and other tokens in his portfolio. Major Investment From TRON Founder In a related development, crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun has emerged as a major investor in Trump’s World Liberty Financial, committing $30 million to the decentralized finance (DeFi) project. Sun, the founder of the TRON cryptocurrency, declared his support for Trump’s vision of turning the US into a blockchain hub. He noted, “TRON is committed to making America great again and leading innovation,” highlighting the project’s ambition to democratize financial services by eliminating intermediaries. Related Reading: Ethereum Analyst Predicts $3,700 Once ETH Breaks Through Resistance World Liberty Financial, which was launched shortly after Trump survived a second assassination attempt, aims to raise $300 million at a valuation of $1.5 billion. However, the project has recently revealed that its WLF token offerings are primarily being marketed offshore, with only $30 million set aside for US investors. Once this threshold is met, the US offering will close, despite having a substantial amount of tokens still available for sale. Trump is also reportedly in discussions for the acquisition of the digital asset marketplace Bakkt Holdings Inc. through Trump Media & Technology Group Corp., which he controls. At the time of writing, ETH was trading at $3,435, up 2.4% for the 24-hour period. Featured image from CFR, chart from TradingView.com
Recent analysis suggests that the Ethereum price may be operating on an 8-year cycle, diverging from Bitcoin’s established 4-year cycle. This would explain the sheer underperformance of the Ethereum price in relation to the Bitcoin price since the beginning of the year. Keeping this in mind, technical analysis suggests that the Ethereum price still has a long way to go in this cycle, especially if the Bitcoin price starts to undergo a major correction. Understanding ETH/BTC’s 8-Year Cycle Technical analysis of the ETH/BTC chart has pointed out an interesting cycle between both crypto heavyweights. Notably, the chart shows that the Ethereum price has been largely underperforming against the Bitcoin price for the past few years, a trend that has been further exacerbated since July of this year. Related Reading: XRP Price Reaches 3-Year High At $1.6 – 2 Ways It Can Go From Here Unlike the Bitcoin price, which follows a well-documented 4-year cycle aligned with its halving events, the Ethereum price seems to chart a different path. Over the years, data suggests that Ethereum is aligned with an 8-year cycle. This distinction explains why Ethereum and its ecosystem often appear to lag behind Bitcoin during bull runs and bear markets. Interestingly, this distinction has been very obvious in the current bull cycle, which has seen the Bitcoin price breaking into multiple new all-time highs while Ethereum continues to struggle under $4,000. Ethereum’s 8-year cycle indicates that as the Bitcoin price starts to reach a peak within its own cycle, Ethereum could be counterbalancing these movements. This plays into the notion of an altcoin season where investors start to take profit on the Bitcoin price and start investing in the altcoin market. According to an analysis on the TradingView platform, the 4-year cycle of the Bitcoin price suggests that the leading cryptocurrency might plunge to the depth of its sinusodial path by 2026, according to its Power Law corridor by 2026. On the other hand, this predicted Bitcoin price decline will be counteracted by a simultaneous Ethereum price surge that would push it to its highest point in the 8-year cycle by 2026. Projected Peak For Ethereum Price In Mid-2026 Based on the 8-year cycle theory, Ethereum’s price is anticipated to peak by mid-2026. This peak is expected to align with the trough of Bitcoin’s 4-year cycle, creating a counterbalance between the two leading cryptocurrencies. During this period, Ethereum’s price is projected to climb to its highest levels as Bitcoin enters a price correction phase. Additionally, BNB is expected to act as a stabilizing asset alongside Ethereum as the Bitcoin price declines. Related Reading: Dogecoin ATH Incoming?

By July or August 2026, Ethereum is projected to reach $150,000, while BNB may climb to $30,000. At the time of writing, Ethereum and BNB are trading at $3,385 and $660, respectively. Bitcoin is trading at $98,150. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
