Bitcoin and Ethereum prices began to rally over the weekend, and interestingly, ETH was able to beat the $4,000 level for the first time in eight months. Bitcoin also recovered from its crash below $113,000 the previous week, taking the rest of the crypto market with it. Naturally, the reversal to bullish sentiment has brought investors out of the woodwork, with predictions now circling for where both Bitcoin and Ethereum prices are headed. Bitcoin To $150,000 And Ethereum To $8,000 Ex-Wall Street trader Vivek Raman has shared a prediction that has reignited hope once again in crypto investors. This comes after a notable weekend rally and the possibility of Bitcoin and Ethereum reaching brand-new all-time highs soon. Despite this already impressive rally, Raman does not believe that the move is over, sharing a near-term prediction for both cryptocurrencies. Related Reading: Bitcoin Nears $120,000 Again As El Salvador Opens Bitcoin Banks In the post, the pundit uses the ETHBTC chart, which has been on fire lately, to predict where both digital assets are headed next. Raman was responding to another crypto analyst, Pentoshi, who believes the ETHBTC chart was headed to 0.055 after moving above 0.036. Breaking this down, Raman explains that reaching this level would mean that the Ethereum price would be at $8,250 per coin, pushing it to a $1 trillion market cap. Amid this, he believes that the Bitcoin price could hit as high as $150,000 in the near term, making the likelihood of ETH touching $8,000 higher. The push for Ethereum to hit $8,000 comes amid ETH treasury companies gaining ground recently. Raman suggests that investors could rotate from Bitcoin treasury companies into ETH, triggering a Wall Street run on Ethereum. Looking at the longer timeframe, Raman forecasts that the Bitcoin price could hit as high as $250,000. At the same time, the Ethereum price is expected to hit $25,000, which would put the ETH market cap at a whopping $3 trillion market cap while Bitcoin moves in on a $10 trillion market cap. BTC And ETH Getting Big Predictions Raman is not the only crypto pundit who has shared major predictions for the Bitcoin and Ethereum prices recently. According to a report from Bitcoinist, another analyst Fapital has shared where they expect both Bitcoin and Ethereum to be by 2032. Related Reading: XRP Price Could Explode To $3.8 Amid Trend Continuation Fapital puts the Bitcoin price as high as $889,969, with Ethereum as high as $28,000 during this time. While both predictions span between shorter and longer timeframes, there is a similarity in the exception that the Ethereum price will eventually cross the $20,000 target.

Social Network Zora has seen its native token, ZORA, record a massive rally following a spike in user activity and recent key integrations, leading some investors to suggest that momentum will continue. Related Reading: Ethereum Bullish Fundamentals Clash With Short-Term Leverage Risks ZORA Hits New Highs On Monday, the native token of the decentralized social network Zora jumped nearly 50% to hit a new all-time high (ATH) of $0.145. The platform allows users to make social media posts into tradable tokens by automatically minting them, with over 2.06 million tokens created since its launch, according to Dune data. In April, the team launched its native ZORA token, airdropping 10% of the supply to early users. The launch received a negative response due to concerns of an unfair allocation and potential centralization. As the price nosedived within hours, some users considered the airdrop was “the biggest disaster with Scroll and Zksync” and the “biggest SCAM in 2025 so far.” Despite the initial backlash, the token has seen a remarkable performance since July, surging 1,573% in the monthly timeframe to hit a market capitalization of $438.9 million. Notably, its ongoing rally has been driven by numerous factors, including crucial integrations and large holders increasing their balances. Since mid-July, users can mint their tokens using the Zora platform without leaving the Base App, making it more accessible and convenient for investors. Following the integration, Base overtook Solana in terms of tokens launched. Moreover, Binance announced the launch of the ZORA/USDT perpetual futures trading pair with up to 50x leverage on July 25, a week after the Base App integration. The news fueled the token’s rally to its previous high of $0.09 on July 27. New Leading Launchpad? As noted by Base’s lead developer, Jesse Pollak, Zora led in tokens created by launchpads on Base and Solana last month, accounting for more token launches than leading Solana platforms Pump.fun and LetsBonk. The massive momentum was momentarily halted by the start-of-August pullback, which saw ZORA drop 50% from the July highs. Nonetheless, the token and the platform have seen a significant recovery over the past week, with its price rallying 128% and token creation activity surging nearly 27% since August 4. On August 10, the platform saw the largest token issuance since July 31, according to Dune data, with 47,743 tokens from 21,052 unique creators, seemingly driving ZORA’s Monday price breakout. ‘Onchain Culture’ Gets Momentum A week before ZORA’s launch, Coinbase’s Layer-2 (L2) Network, Base, faced backlash over rug-pull allegations after it promoted an unofficial memecoin that crashed by over 90%. As reported by NewsBTC, Base’s official X account posted an image with the text “Base is for everyone” and a link to Zora with the caption “Coined it,” sparking a speculative frenzy among the crypto community. Base explained that they had posted on Zora because they believe everyone should bring content on-chain and use the tools that make it possible. “Memes. Moments. Culture. If we want the future to be onchain, we have to be willing to experiment in public. (…) We’re going to keep bringing culture onchain,” the Base team argued. Related Reading: Ethereum Surpasses MasterCard In Asset Rankings, Bullish Targets Set Following Zora’s recent rally, market watcher Ansem highlighted that “Zora is currently the newest thing with the most momentum,” suggesting that “innovation will happen on base/abstract/megaeth/lighter & others,” instead of on the Ethereum mainnet.

Bitcoin has seen a retrace back below the $120,000 level as data shows the Coinbase Premium Gap has dropped into the negative zone. Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap Has Plummeted Into The Red Region In a new post on X, CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn has talked about the latest trend in the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap. This indicator measures the difference between the BTC price listed on Coinbase (USD pair) and that on Binance (USDT pair). The former cryptocurrency exchange is popularly used by American investors, especially the large institutional entities, while the latter is the destination of the global investors. As such, the Coinbase Premium Gap tells us about how the buying or selling behaviors differ between US-based and foreign whales. Related Reading: Bitcoin-Money Supply Link Is A Myth, Glassnode Researcher Reveals When the metric has a positive value, it means the cryptocurrency is going for a higher price on Coinbase than Binance. Such a trend suggests the users of the former are applying a higher buying pressure or lower selling pressure as compared to the traders of the latter. On the other hand, the indicator registering a negative value implies the American investors may be selling more relative to global investors, which has brought the price on Coinbase lower than on Binance. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap over the past day: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap was above the zero mark when BTC’s recovery run to the $122,000 level occurred, indicating that US-based whales were buying and helping fuel the surge. While BTC was at its high, however, the indicator’s value saw a sharp reversal and plunged into the negative zone. What has followed these red levels in the metric is a retrace for the coin to prices below $120,000. Thus, it seems the trend in the Coinbase Premium Gap foreshadowed the price action. This pattern is something that has been witnessed a lot since the start of 2024, as American institutional entities have been in the driving seat. Given the price action of the past day, it seems the influence of these investors remains strong, so the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap could be worth keeping an eye on, as where it will go next may also carry hints about the cryptocurrency’s future trajectory.
