Ethereum Breaking $3,100 Is ‘Just The Beginning’ In Quest To $10K: Analyst

Analysts see that Ethereum has the potential to reach a new all-time high by December after it achieved its first breakout in three months.

Its growth can be attributed to the growing optimistic sentiment on cryptocurrencies fueled by the results of the recently concluded national elections.

Ether Breaks The $3,000 Barrier

Data has shown that Ethereum experienced a big price hike–a growth that analysts said could be the result of the triumphant victory of Donald Trump in the US elections.

Analysts said that the second largest crypto in terms of market capitalization was able to move past the “critical” $2,000 level, peaking at $3,179 on Sunday noon.

Ethereum’s price rally is being viewed as an indicator that after a period of stagnation, the digital currency will gain momentum and will be on the road to recovery, which is good news for ETH investors.

Many analysts suggested that the growth has something to do with the incoming Trump administration. During the campaign, Trump has already hinted that he is more inclined to have more favorable regulations on cryptocurrencies. Hence, his victory signaled great optimism about the future of crypto under his leadership.

Ethereum is among the digital currencies riding on this optimism, resulting in a 20% price hike in the past week.

Analysts also note that another major contributor to the bullish momentum is the significant increase in spot Ether ETF inflows. On November 8, data showed that inflows recorded a weekly high of $85.9 million, an indicator that investors are getting more confident about the long-term potential of Ether.

An All-Time High Is Possible

Market commentators said that many indicators showed that a new all-time high for Ethereum could be just around the corner, saying that it could reach $3,366 any time soon. They added that ETH increased by 8% last Thursday.

Analysts predicted that the crypto could hit a new all-time high by December, fueled by a growing demand for the top altcoin. One of these growth indicators is the coin’s open interest which is also on the rise.

Reports illustrated that ETH’s futures open interest (OI) experienced a massive uptick. It increased by about 20% to $16.18 billion from $13.05 billion in the last two days.

Analysts explained that OI refers to the total number of outstanding contracts in a derivatives market. They added that if OI went up together with prices, it meant new funds were entering the market to fuel an upward trend.

If Ethereum’s OI keeps on growing, it might result in a massive price surge, propelling the digital coin to reach a new record high before the year ends.

The $10,000 Projection

Analyst Ali Martinez forecasted that there is a possibility that Ethereum could reach the $10,000 mark, saying that breaching the $3,000 level is only the start of the upward price movement.

Martinez claimed that ETH is on the right trajectory to attain the $10,000 level, comparing the crypto to the S&P 500.

Geoffrey Kendrick of Standard Chartered agrees with the prediction, saying that ETH could hit that level soon.

Kendrick explained that the anticipation of clearer crypto regulations by the new administration and what is being perceived as a crypto-friendly government could fuel this massive growth.
