Ethereum Price Eyes New Target Above $20,000

While Bitcoin (BTC) has reached new all-time highs this month, the Ethereum price has failed to experience a significant rally, befitting its position as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

As Bitcoin (BTC) scales new all-time highs this month, the Ethereum price has not experienced a significant rally, despite being the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. However, a crypto analyst suggests that this bearish price action could soon end, as Ethereum (ETH) seems to be repeating its breakout pattern from the 2017 to 2018 cycle. According to this analysis, the ETH price could be set to hit a new price target above $20,000.

Ethereum Price Poised To Hit New Target Above $20,000

Mr Tycoon, a TradingView analyst, shared his extreme bullish outlook for the Ethereum price, suggesting that the leading altcoin in the crypto market could hit as high as $23,000 this cycle. The analyst shared his optimism about Ethereum’s recent price action, boldly stating that the altcoin is preparing to “send higher soon.”

Ethereum last experienced a record-breaking price surge during the 2021 bull market, reaching an ATH above $4,800. The TradingView analyst revealed that Ethereum’s fractal in the previous bull cycle versus this current cycle follows a similar pattern, indicating an upcoming rally.

Mr. Tycoon presented a detailed chart comparing Ethereum’s price movements in the 2017-2021 and 2021-2025 cycles. In the earlier four-year cycle, Ethereum hit a macro bottom in 2019, experiencing price declines before seeing a major rally after Bitcoin hit an all-time high in 2021.

A similar price action is also observed in this current four-year cycle, where Ethereum hit its macro bottom in 2022 and then declined significantly. According to the analyst’s chart, Bitcoin reached an ATH in 2024, just like it did in the 2021 bull cycle.

The TradingView analyst noted that historically, Ethereum starts pumping after Bitcoin enters a price discovery. This implies that Bitcoin usually leads the market cycles, and once it finds a new ATH, ETH tends to follow, experiencing a strong rally.

Taking this into account, Mr. Tycoon anticipates a significant price increase for Ethereum, suggesting that it could surge past previous all-time highs and rise above $23,000. This impressive price rally would mark a 557% increase from the current market value of ETH.

Analyst Reveals Best Time To Buy ETH

While Ethereum is trading at $3,586 at the time of writing, a crypto analyst known as ‘Crypto Ash’ has projected a rally to $10,000 or $15,000 to be highly likely for the top altcoin this bull cycle.

The analyst revealed that the best time to start accumulating Ethereum was in December 2024, which represents a prime entry point for investors. His analysis suggests that, historically, Ethereum has experienced major price appreciation from January to April after each Bitcoin halving year. This indicates that investors who begin purchasing ETH tokens as early as December may be well-positioned for gains if the ETH price rallies in Q1 2025.
