A crypto analyst has just predicted multiple bullish price targets for Ethereum (ETH), but expecting a major dip to critical support levels first before a sharp rally toward $6,000. From there, he outlines a roadmap to much higher targets, with $24,000 set as the ultimate parabolic zone. The analyst has based his bullish projections on the likelihood that Ethereum can break out of a crucial multi-year channel and advance with strong momentum. Analyst Forecasts Ethereum Price Target Of $1,700 To $6,000 Celal Kucuker, a crypto analyst on X, presented a new bullish outlook for Ethereum on May 9, outlining a steady long-term roadmap to an ultimate target above $24,000. Before this projected bullish run begins, the analyst predicts a potential drop to a price level he calls Ethereum’s “mega support zone.” Related Reading: Analyst Sets $220,000 Minimum Price Target For Bitcoin, But How Will It Get There? Kucuker has set this critical support at $1,760-$1,800, likely expecting ETH to decline to this level and form a strong enough base to set the stage for a potential new bull rally. From this area, the analyst predicts that Ethereum could reverse sharply and potentially experience its first major breakout level around $4,800, about 3% away from reclaiming its all-time high above $4,900 in August 2025. The analyst has outlined these moves on his accompanying chart, showing price moving inside an ascending channel pattern that has been forming since 2020. After reaching $4,900, he predicts that the Ethereum price could break out from the upper trendline of the channel and rise sharply toward $6,000, representing more than a 160% increase from Ethereum’s current price of above $2,300. Kucuker described this bullish target as a “psychological and technical transition zone.” This means that the upper price target is an area where market sentiment for ETH is expected to shift as chart-based barriers break. Usually, a psychological target is a magnet for market attention, similar to when Ethereum reached $2,000 or $4,000. It’s an area that tends to attract sellers and buyers, creating high volume that could lead to a stronger push upward. $24,000 Set As Ultimate Parabolic Target After reaching $6,000, Kucuker expects Ethereum to set its sights on the next bull target around $13,000. He calls this upper range a “cycle extension target,” suggesting that Ethereum’s projected bull market could last much longer and reach valuations driven by extreme momentum or price discovery phases.

Once this target is reached, the cryptocurrency is projected to experience a short-term correction back to the upper trendline again. After bottoming in this area, Kucuker predicts Ethereum could record an explosive price rally toward $24,443. He called this price point a full parabolic target for ETH, marking the timeline of this area around 2028 on his chart. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
