Este artículo también está disponible en español.

Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has experienced another downturn in its price. Following an earlier attempt at bullish momentum last week, Ethereum has dropped by 2.4% in the past 24 hours, trading at $3,577 at the time of writing.

This decline puts Ethereum at a 26.8% decrease from its all-time high of $4,878, recorded in November 2021. Despite this, the network’s daily trading volume remains quite strong, registering $42.4 billion—a significant increase from late last month when volumes dipped below $35 billion.

Chart Patterns Indicate Potential Rally

While Ethereum’s current price trajectory may appear discouraging, analysts within the cryptocurrency community have expressed optimism regarding its long-term potential.

Several technical indicators and chart patterns have emerged, leading some analysts to predict a significant rally for the asset in the coming months.

One notable voice among the bullish analysts is CryptoBullet, a widely followed figure in the cryptocurrency space. In a recent post on X, the analyst highlighted a “cup and handle” formation on Ethereum’s monthly price chart.

According to CryptoBullet, this pattern suggests that Ethereum could surge to new highs, potentially reaching $6,675. The analyst commented, “Did you guys see the $ETH monthly chart? Bullish AF. This month, we’re going to SMASH through the resistance. Cup&Handle Target – $6675.”

Adding to the optimism, Venture Founder, another prominent analyst, projected an even more ambitious target for Ethereum.

In a detailed analysis, the venture founder noted that Ethereum has been in a “triangular consolidation phase” for the past three years, a pattern reminiscent of its behavior from 2016 to 2017.

The analyst predicted that Ethereum could break out of this consolidation and enter a new price paradigm, estimating a target of $15,937 by May 2025. Venture Founder stated, “Base Case: Ethereum likely to repeat this impulsive breakout it did between 2016-2017 to shoot to new ATH.”
