Ethereum (ETH) continues to hover around the critical $4,000
resistance level, a price point many believe could determine the
cryptocurrency’s next major move. However, a strong weekly close
has sparked optimism among analysts, suggesting that ETH could be
on track to reach a new all-time high (ATH) soon. Ethereum Heading
To New ATH? Experts Weigh In While cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin
(BTC), Solana (SOL), and XRP have experienced explosive growth this
year, ETH’s price momentum has been relatively subdued. According
to CoinGecko, Ethereum has recorded gains of 62% over the past
year, falling short compared to other trending digital assets.

Surges Past $4,000 – Is Altseason In Sight? However, ETH’s
performance relative to other cryptocurrencies has not deterred ETH
bulls from aiming for new ATHs for the cryptocurrency. For
instance, seasoned crypto analyst Pentoshi recently took to X to
explain the significance of ETH’s “structural changes” and the
consistently large inflows attracted by spot ETH exchange-traded
funds (ETFs). Pentoshi noted that Ethereum has not only
recorded a higher high on the weekly chart, but also had its
highest weekly close of the year. The analyst added that, given its
current price of slightly below $4,000, there is not much
resistance to ATH, which “should act as a magnet” for further
gains. Another crypto analyst, @CryptoPoseidonn highlighted that
ETH is set to break out of its “4-year, 1,460-day range to the
upside.” In a chart, the analyst marked out the different Fibonacci
extension levels to identify potential price targets for ETH.
According to the chart, ETH can rise to $6,000 at the 1.272
extension level, $7,400 at the 1.618 extension level, and $11,400
at the 2.618 extension level. ETH can rise “much higher, far beyond
your worst nightmares,” the analyst added. In a shorter time frame,
Satoshi Flipper, another well-known analyst, emphasized that
ETH attempts to break through an ascending channel in the
4-hour chart. He suggested that the current price, sitting on
diagonal channel support, might present a “nice entry” point,
predicting that the next impulsive move could take ETH to $4,400.
ETH Bulls Cautiously Optimistic Although there is high anticipation
for a new ETH ATH, some experts opine that there may still be a few
hurdles before the digital asset records a new ATH price. For
instance, ETH crossing the $4,000 level may lead to increased risks
of profit-taking, potentially resulting in a short-term correction.

robust, adding to its bullish outlook. For instance, ETH active
addresses and large value transactions have shown an uptick,
reflecting increased on-chain activity during the recent rally.
Additionally, some analysts believe ETH could follow a trajectory
similar to Bitcoin’s 2021 bull run, with the potential to reach
$10,000. ETH trades at $3,847 at press time, down 3.9% in the past
24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, charts from X and
