Ethereum Price Forecast – A Breakout to $3000 Is Getting Closer

Highlights:

• Ethereum trending towards $2700 resistance with strong volumes
• ETH is likely to test $3000 based on the prevailing momentum 
• Ether price action is driven by higher money flow into altcoins 

For over a year, Ethereum has been lagging behind Bitcoin, often failing to move when Bitcoin moved and crashing whenever Bitcoin experienced a correction. However, the trend is changing. Ethereum is increasingly sending bullish signals even on days when Bitcoin shows weakness. Today is one of those days. While Bitcoin’s intraday weakness has led to weakness across the altcoin market, Ethereum is one of those sending bullish signals. 

Ethereum Showing Strength On A Relatively Uneventful Day for Bitcoin

At the time of going to press, Bitcoin was down by 0.10%, a move that has seen most altcoins drop by more than a percentage point. However, Ethereum is firmly in the green, and at the time of going to press, was up by 3.04% to trade at $2639.72.

Ethereum trading volumes have also shot up intraday, defying the norm in the broader altcoin market. When writing, Ethereum’s trading volumes were up by 37.78% to $19.7 billion. Ethereum’s intraday price action and volumes point to a cryptocurrency increasingly inspiring investor confidence. The rising confidence is already evident in the fact that Ethereum is currently the top trending cryptocurrency on CoinMarketCap.

Technical Analysis – Ethereum Bulls Accelerating Price Towards Resistance

Ethereum’s price action can also be seen in the rising excitement around its price. From the charts, Ethereum bulls have taken control after the market remained undecided for the last two weeks. Ethereum could push through the $2748.2 multi-week resistance level if the ongoing price action continues.

Rising through this resistance could draw more money into Ethereum and push the price to $ 3,000 or higher. The fact that Ethereum is holding up well despite Bitcoin’s intraday weakness indicates that bullish momentum is building up. Besides, with the momentum Ethereum is building up at the moment, even failure at the $2748.2 resistance could see a consolidation around it rather than a correction back to the $2455 multi-week support.

Bitcoin Dominance Is Dropping – Bullish for Ethereum

The potential Ethereum holds for more upside is also supported by the price action on the Bitcoin dominance chart. For months, the Bitcoin dominance chart has been going up. This was an indicator that money flowed heavily into Bitcoin while sidelining altcoins. However, this is changing.

From the Bitcoin Dominance weekly chart, BTC dominance hit a high of 65.34% four weeks ago and then fell. It then formed a resistance zone around 64.70% before it started correcting. Since then, Bitcoin’s dominance has shown a weakness for three weeks straight. This shows that capital is now finding altcoins more attractive. 

This has also coincided with the increasing strength in the price of Ethereum. This could indicate that investors are betting more on Ethereum as the next big driver of the crypto market. Typically, this happens when bulls are about to drive the market up parabolically. The result is that Ethereum altcoins could start recording 10X gains or higher. With such rising demand for ERC-20 tokens, the demand for Ethereum is the network that underpins them.

#Altcoins

It has finally happened.👀🔥$ETH has reclaimed the mid-line in the 2W Gaussian Channel.

Each time it managed to do so, strong rallies followed for the entire altcoin market (2021 and 2024 as an example).

Ethereum Fundamentals Are Getting Stronger

Besides an increasingly favorable technical setup, Ethereum fundamentals are also getting better. Vitalik Buterin recently stated that Ethereum should become more private and take advantage of the weakness of a cashless society. By making Ethereum more private and usable as a currency, its value could increase due to demand. That’s because, unlike digital fiat, Ethereum is underpinned by decentralized systems that give users a trustless and censorship-resistant mode of transaction.

Ethereum is also increasingly being adopted in fast-growing areas such as real-world asset tokenization. This adoption is due to Ethereum’s trustless nature and its history of reliability. With more industries opening up to decentralized systems, Ethereum could be up for a sustained increase in demand going into the future.
