After an incredible rally that has put Ethereum on the path to possible new all-time highs, the altcoin is now facing something that could hinder its newfound path. This comes down to a CME gap that had formed on its way up, and historically, CME gaps tend to be filled before there is a bullish continuation. In this case, the CME gap is sitting almost 15% below its current price, and could mean that ETH is in for a crash. The CME Gap Waiting At $4,080 A crypto analyst has pointed out that the Ethereum price could be facing heavy resistance after rallying to levels not seen since 2021. There is also the formation of a CME gap that threatens to drag the price back down before the bullish rally can continue. Related Reading: Analyst Says What Happened With Bitcoin Is About To Happen With XRP The first of these is the resistance that is currently forming at around the $4,868 zone. This is the previous all-time high levels, so naturally, bears are beginning to mount pressure at this point that could ultimately lead to a price rejection. There is also a potential reversal zone skirting around the $4,680 area as well. The CME Gap is sitting very low at the $4,185-$4,080, suggesting that the price could retrace to this level to close the gap. If this happens, then late long positions could be trapped as the correction plays out, before reversing toward its all-time high levels once more. Interestingly, the analyst also points out the fact that the Ethereum price seems to be playing out the Elliot Wave Theory. According to the analysis, Ethereum is actually playing out a microwave 5 in the meantime. What this suggests is that the current uptrend is only the start, and that the main Wave 5 is yet to begin. Related Reading: 4-Year Cycle Says Dogecoin Price Will Reach $1, Here’s Why Using the Elliot Wave Theory, Wave 5 is expected to be the final wave before the bear market. However, it is a major wave that has historically led to new all-time highs. If the bullish momentum does continue, then Ethereum could end up crossing the $5,000 level in quick succession. There is also the possibility of a deeper correction if bulls fail to maintain control above $4,000. The analyst points out that another CME gap is left to be filled as low as $3,417-$3,461. But if the price is able to cross toward $4,800, this would be invalidated. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

Chris Burniske, the cofounder and partner at crypto venture firm Placeholder, laid out a time-boxed set of cycle targets for the market’s three bellwethers, arguing that the “crazier” price action gets through early autumn, the higher his conviction becomes that this cycle culminates in October. “Aiming for an October top in BTC, if I were to pick numbers, which we all know is a grade above guessing, I’d say BTC $142,690, ETH 6,900–8K, $SOL ~ $420. NFA, it’s a meme world we live in,” Burniske posted on X late on August 13. Predictions For Bitcoin, Ethereum And Solana The Placeholder co-founder expanded on the logic in follow-ups, saying he prefers the implied cross-asset relationships against Bitcoin at those levels. He suggested that if the run accelerates into August–September–October, his “conviction” in an October top rises; conversely, “if we pull back hard soon, and get more muted, then perhaps we can extend this bull for longer.” He also emphasized that once Bitcoin’s tide turns, lower-liquidity assets typically “drain out” faster—an admonition that aligns with past cycle behavior even if timing the inflection is, as he put it, “a grade above guessing.” Related Reading: The Grand Bitcoin Roadmap: Crypto Expert Says $160,000 Still In The Works By construction, Burniske’s slate of targets bakes in a meaningful repricing of the crypto complex’s internal ratios. At a $142,690 Bitcoin, an Ethereum band of $6,900–$8,000 implies an ETH/BTC ratio in roughly the 0.048–0.056 range, while $420 Solana would imply an SOL/BTC ratio near 0.003. That positioning squares with his aside that he “likes the implied ETHBTC and SOLBTC ratios,” and with a broader market dynamic he and others point to: sustained capital rotation out of Bitcoin into higher-beta assets as the cycle matures. On that rotation, Burniske amplified a dashboard from analytics firm Glassnode—shared via Swissblock—showing that market-cap-weighted seven-day returns across top altcoins have breached the +1σ band three times since April. Statistically, that constitutes significant outperformance relative to Bitcoin and is consistent with capital flowing from BTC into ETH and the long-tail. “It’s not that crypto inflows are drying up. Capital is rotating into ETH and altcoins, draining from BTC and fueling a torrent into the altcoin market,” Swissblock summarized alongside Glassnode’s chart. Related Reading: Two Forces Can Launch Bitcoin To $1 Million, Says Mike Novogratz Burniske also floated a tongue-in-cheek “meme world” extension to his Bitcoin call a few hours later—“BTC looking juicy, maybe $169,420 is a better meme world”—underscoring both the self-aware tone of the thread and the reality that upside blow-offs, if they occur, rarely stop on tidy round numbers. The thread was not purely about price targets. It doubled as risk management guidance for a market that has already pushed to new all-time highs this year. “Selling some isn’t the same as selling it all, and it’s best to ‘sell some’ in bits and pieces on the way up,” Burniske wrote in a separate post he referenced again on Wednesday. “I see too many people who want to do it all in one go. Buy it all in one go, sell it all in one go, full port into one thing—those are gambling techniques, not investing techniques.” Context for the Solana leg of the call arrived a day earlier. On August 12, Burniske suggested SOL “could be gearing up for a monster monthly” if capital rotation gives it “time in the sun” after Ethereum’s push—an argument that maps to the altcoin outperformance signals above and to his preference for the ETH/BTC and SOL/BTC skews into an October denouement. None of this is novel as far as cycle anatomy goes—lead asset first, majors second, long-tail last. Whether the market prints Burniske’s “meme world” or settles for the initial $142,690/$6,900–8,000/$420 matrix, the thread’s two practical takeaways are unequivocal: autumn is the window he’s watching, and process discipline matters more than clairvoyance when the tape gets euphoric.
