After hitting above $3,800, the Ethereum price seems well on track for the next phase of the cycle. The ongoing trend has been closely mirroring what was seen back in 2016-2017 before the surge that sent the altcoin’s price to new all-time highs. This remains a major deal given that if the trend does play out similarly to what was seen in the 2017 cycle, then it means that the Ethereum price rally is only just beginning. Ethereum Price Mirrors Bullish 2017 Back in 2017, before the bull market, the Ethereum price had struggled to stay on track with the Bitcoin price. This resulted in a lag as the price kept taking a beating with each uptrend. In the end, the Ethereum price ended up ranging for a while, with two fakeouts before the price was able to eventually breakout.

Just like 2017, again, a crash sent the altcoin’s price down by almost 50% to create what seemed to be the perfect bear trap, as illustrated in this chart by crypto analyst Merlijn The Trader on X (formerly Twitter). The analyst points out these similarities in the Ethereum chart, showing that the same range, fakeout, and breakout have now played out for the cryptocurrency just like they did in 2016-2017. Given this, it is likely that the next phase in the trend will also follow the 2017 playbook. After the bear trap and eventual breakout in 2017, the Ethereum price had rallied by 5,000%, going from under $8 to over $250 in less than one year. Applying a similar breakout structure to Ethereum in 2025 would mean rising as high as $40,000. However, adjusting for how high the market cap currently is, a conservative target would mean that the Ethereum price is at least able to cross the $10,000 level, which would be only a 200% increase from its current level. Applying the same timeframe as in 2017 would mean that it could play out in the next six months.

Presently, Ethereum is quickly becoming a favorite among institutional investors as ETH treasury companies have poured over $7 billion into the altcoin, according to data from The Block. In July 2025 alone, over $2 billion has flowed into Spot Ethereum ETFs, showing a ramp-up in institutionalized interest. Due to this rise in institutional investments, Merlijn The Trader has explained that institutions are now the ones behind the wheel with the same setup from 2017. This suggests higher liquidity as these major players are expected to drive and determine the ETH price this cycle. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from TradingView.com

Dogecoin (DOGE) has retraced alongside the rest of the market to retest a crucial level as support. Some analysts suggest that holding its current price range would set the stage for reclaiming the next key area. Related Reading: PENGU Leads Top Memecoin List Amid 20% Daily Surge – What’s Behind The Rally? Dogecoin Retests Breakout Levels On Wednesday, Dogecoin momentum saw a momentary pause as Bitcoin and most of the market’s rally slowed down. The leading memecoin has recorded a massive run over the past week, increasing over 25% in the last seven days. At the start of the month, DOGE recovered from the June pullback and climbed to the $0.20 level for the first time since May. After reclaiming this crucial level mid-July, the cryptocurrency consolidated around this area, building a base before resuming its bullish run last Wednesday. Over the weekend, Dogecoin broke out of the $0.23-$0.24 resistance, soaring past the May highs to hit the $0.28 area on Monday. The token near this level on Tuesday, hovering between the $0.26-$0.27 price range. However, today’s pullback saw the memecoin drop approximately 9% in the daily timeframe and retest its breakout level around the $0.23 mark. Despite the correction, crypto analyst Kaleo affirmed that “If you’re not stacking Dogecoin on the retest of this breakout, you’re wrong.” The analyst highlighted that the token is repeating its Q4 2024 performance, when it retested its breakout level as support before starting the explosive rise to its multi-year high of $0.48. Amid the retracement, Ali Martinez also asserted that DOGE is retesting the neckline of its double bottom pattern, situated around the $0.25 mark. To the analyst, “This is a key support zone that could offer a solid entry point before the next leg up.” Notably, he previously suggested that as long as the token holds this area as support, a rally toward the $0.33-$0.40 is likely, adding that the next major resistance barrier is at $0.36. DOGE Weekly And Monthly To Determine Next Move Rekt Capital noted that Dogecoin has successfully retested its multi-year technical uptrend as support, which enabled its rally to the upside. He explained that price is currently “pressing beyond its pre-halving highs,” around the $0.22 level. A monthly close above this area would position Dogecoin price for a post-breakout retest of this level as support in August. The analyst highlighted that DOGE’s Pre-Bitcoin halving levels are confluent with the neckline of the double bottom pattern recorded in the Weekly chart. Rekt Capital explained that “any dips on the Weekly timeframe into the ~$0.22 region would figure a post-breakout retest attempt of the Double Bottom to fully confirm a breakout, whereas on the Monthly any dips would figure as a key technical milestone to finally turn Pre-Halving highs into new support.” Related Reading: Ethereum Price On The Verge: Banks And State Buy To Push ETH Above $5,500? Nonetheless, Dogecoin’s re-challenge of the $0.27 resistance depends on the success of the ongoing retests, as it would signal that this area is weakening as a rejection point and making a reclaim more likely during the next attempt. As of this writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.24, a 54% increase in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
