Analyst Reveals Bullishness On Ethereum Price At This Point, Can It Hit $4,000 Again?

The Ethereum price has been in a sharp decline in the past months, underperforming compared to Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL). Despite its unwillingness to experience a significant price increase, a crypto analyst has revealed his bullishness for ETH, predicting a potential recovery to $4,000 before the end of the bull cycle.

Ethereum Price Projected To Reach $4,000

Crypto analyst Astronomer has announced his bullishness on the Ethereum price outlook, predicting a potential rally to $4,000. In a rather lengthy post on X (formerly Twitter), the analyst highlights several technical signals that suggest ETH could soon revisit this key price target.

Notably, the ETH price is positioned at a clear support zone between the $1,700 and $1,900 range. Historically, this range has acted as a launch pad for recoveries, with previous declines to this area triggering a strong price surge.

While Ethereum has underperformed against Solana during this bull market, it has still doubled since its 2022 low, which is a better outcome than most altcoins. Further highlighting his bullish stance on ETH, Astronomer revealed that he had swapped BTC for ETH, holding a strong conviction that the latter will eventually outperform the former by the end of the cycle.

Based on the analyst’s chart, ETH is currently trading within a long-term macro price range between $1,700 and $4,500. The cryptocurrency recently retested the bottom of this range, which historically led to a bounce back toward a price high above $4,000.

Astronomer also notes that Bitcoin has already set its weekly low, meaning that Ethereum’s price movements could soon align with the pioneer cryptocurrency’s recovery. If ETH can reclaim the $2,100 level, the analyst predicts a rapid move toward $4,000 in a few months. 

With the next Federal Reserve monetary policy scheduled for mid-April, the market may see renewed bullish momentum that could benefit Ethereum’s price trajectory. Another major development that supports the analyst’s bullish projection for Ethereum is its performance in March 2024. At the time, the altcoin swept a previous price high but didn’t sustain a breakout, leading to a prolonged correction.

However, Astronomer suggested that this price trend insists on revisiting $4,000, particularly after Ethereum hits a range low. The analyst notes that ETH is now at this critical low, which could indicate that the bottom is in, signaling a potential move to new highs. 

ETH Market Sentiment Hits Rock Bottom

While sharing his bullish forecast for ETH’s price during this bull cycle, Astronomer also revealed that Ethereum is facing a heavy bearish sentiment due to its prolonged underperformance. According to the analyst, Ethereum’s current market sentiment is worse than Bitcoin’s, with negative narratives dominating discussions across the crypto community.

Some claim that ETH lacks a proper use case, while others suggest that the Ethereum Foundation may be selling. Despite this, Historical data shows that when ETH hit similar low levels in late 2017 and 2021, the cryptocurrency experienced a subsequent rally to new ATHs. The latest sentiment score shows Ethereum has hit rock bottom at 14, signaling extreme fear and uncertainty, which often precedes major price rebounds.
