Ethereum Poised for Major Rally in Early 2025, Analysts Predict New All-Time High

Analysts predict that Ethereum could break its all-time high in early 2025, despite recent struggles to maintain levels above $4,000.

While Bitcoin has surged, hitting an all-time high of $100,000, Ethereum has lagged behind, gaining only 12% over the past six months compared to Bitcoin’s 54% rise.

However, there are indications that ETH is gearing up for a potential rally in the first quarter of 2025, driven by reduced leverage in the crypto markets and a shift in investor sentiment.

Bybit analysts expect Ethereum to push past its previous peak, with some predicting a rise to $8,800 based on an ascending triangle chart pattern.

For ETH to reach new highs, it must first break through the $4,100 resistance level. If successful, the path could open up for a price move toward the all-time high of $4,865.

The correlation between Ethereum and Bitcoin’s halving cycle suggests that ETH may soon catch up with Bitcoin’s momentum, with some analysts forecasting a significant rise in the ETH/BTC ratio.

Investor interest in ETH is also growing, as evidenced by a surge in newly created Ethereum wallets. Despite this optimism, more cautious predictions, such as VanEck’s $6,000 target for ETH, remain in play for 2025.
