Ethereum has experienced a slight decline of over 1% in the past week, remaining relatively stagnant while Bitcoin and other altcoins continue their rallies.
However, despite this pause, prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez has made a bold prediction for Ethereum’s future. He believes that Ethereum could soon outperform Bitcoin, drawing from historical trends in market cycles where ETH has outpaced BTC.
Martinez envisions Ethereum reaching a target of $10,000, with price targets of $4,000 and $6,000 as stepping stones along the way. This optimism comes as Ethereum has held strong support around the $3,000 mark, despite a recent 10% correction from November’s high of $3,400.
Martinez’s outlook is bolstered by the behavior of Ethereum’s whales, who have been accumulating substantial amounts of ETH in recent weeks. Over the last two weeks, large holders have purchased over 430,000 ETH, worth approximately $1.4 billion, suggesting that significant market players are preparing for a potential upward surge. Additionally, Martinez has pointed out that Ethereum’s price action may be mirroring the movements of the S&P 500, which could push ETH toward its $10,000 target.
Supporting Martinez’s prediction, another analyst, IamCryptoWolf, echoed the view that Ethereum is on the verge of major growth. He highlighted Ethereum’s slow but steady momentum over the past two and a half years, with higher lows indicating a build-up toward a breakout.
According to IamCryptoWolf, once Ethereum clears the $4,000 mark, it will enter a phase of rapid growth, with $10,000 as the next major target. Ethereum’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) momentum also signals that the asset still holds significant upside potential, further reinforcing the possibility of a major rally in the near future.
