Ethereum (ETH) has gone down by 3% in the past 7 days as tensions in the Middle East have pulled down crypto prices.
Despite the cease-fire between Iran and Israel brokered by President Donald Trump, only Bitcoin (BTC) seems to be receiving support from market participants as uncertainty prevails.
However, despite this challenging environment, a handful of top-tier traders believe that ETH could soon hit $4,000 once again and one even shared an Ethereum price prediction that sees the token rising to $12,000 in the mid-term.
One of the most prominent individuals in this group is Merlijn the Trader, a crypto trader whose X account is followed by nearly 400,000 users.

Now they say $ETH is “boring” at $2.4K.
Same disbelief. Same setup.

He compared Bitcoin’s journey back in 2020 when the token’s price stood at around $8,000 to ETH’s latest consolidation at around $2,000.
Merlijn estimates that the top altcoin could be propelled to $12,000 within the next 2 years as the price action looks quite similar to Bitcoin’s back then.
Meanwhile, The Crypto Professor, another popular crypto trading account on X, shared a chart in which he forecasts a move toward $4,000 after a bullish breakout above $2,150 that could push the token back to its December highs.
Looking at the 4-hour chart, Ethereum has reclaimed a key area above the $2,400 mark and has now moved back to its consolidation rectangle after last weekend’s strong correction.
This move was accompanied by a ‘golden cross’ between the 9-period and 21-period exponential moving average (EMA) that favors a bullish short-term Ethereum price prediction.
The price has rejected a move toward the 200-period EMA for now but momentum indicators are still favoring a bullish outlook as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has climbed above its 14-period moving average.
Moving forward, if negative momentum has fully faded, the price could retest the highs seen in early June when it climbed near $2,900. The key resistance levels to watch at this point would be $2,560 and $2,680. A move above these areas would increase the odds of a bullish push to that local high.
