Ethereum Hits 1-Year Low, Analyst Predicts Massive Run
Ethereum (ETH) sentiment has dropped to its lowest level in a year as the second-largest crypto by market capitalization attempts to recoup $4,000. Despite investors' mood, some experts believe the King of cryptocurrencies will resume its bullish run to new highs.
While trying to break $4,000 barrier, crypto expert says Ethereum social sentiment has dropped to a one-year low. The publication said that this measure hit its lowest point since December 18, 2023, when ETH traded around $2,100-$2,200.
The analyst called this a “classic bullish indicator,” adding that ETH's price rebounded 30% in the weeks after emotions reached “rock bottom” a year ago. ETH reached $2,700 on January 12, a significant landmark in its run to $4,093 in March.
Ethereum may rise to $4,900-$5,000 in the next month if it follows the similar path, converting the next large resistance level into support in two weeks.
Martinez said the crypto's rise would restart after ETH breaks $4,100, a level not seen since December 2021. After recovery, “$6,000 will become a magnet.”
After hitting $4,000 this month, the second-largest crypto has failed to gain support.
Ethereum rose to $4,100 before retracing to $3,900 and then to $3,800 as BTC traded beyond $107,000. Weekly and monthly gains for ETH are 2.3% and 22.6%, respectively, notwithstanding the drop.
Will ETH Pass $4,000 This Month?
Altcoin Sherpa said ETH is “roughly at the same spot that BTC was at around 70K,” and hasn't “materially broken this level for years.” ETH has been rejected from $4,000 multiple times in the previous three years but reached its ATH in 2021.
It may reach its $4,800 ATH before reaching its initial price discovery goal of $5,000 if it followed Bitcoin's lead. The expert also said December and January are Altcoin's “best times”.
However, Sherpa predicted a “final shakeout” before the ETH/BTC pair rose “up for a few weeks/months.” The token must surpass its recent 0.041 high.
