Ether Gets $3,700 Target as Bull Market History Repeats Against Bitcoin

Ether (ETH) is teasing 170% gains in under two months as history repeats itself against Bitcoin (BTC).

Key points:

• Ether has the potential to rematch long-term highs above 0.09 in Bitcoin terms.

• Bull market history continues to play out for the largest altcoin, with $3,700 the next target.

• Bitcoin itself could see $100,000 as soon as next week, analysis predicts.

Trader on ETH bull run: “You know what’s coming”

New analysis released on X Friday by trader Mags shows identical ETH price action playing out from the 2021 bull market.

Ether has spent years grinding lower in BTC terms, but the past few months have given the narrative a firmly bullish slant.

As Mags notes, ETH/BTC bottomed out in April, while wicking to the exact lows that laid the foundation for the previous bull run.

A reversal upward then produced an initial top in February 2021, followed by a support retest — a pattern now being repeated. What happens next could well be music to the ears of long-suffering ETH hodlers.

“Right now, it’s around the exact support from where it pumped 170% in just 7 weeks, printing seven weekly green candles in a row, followed by a slow distribution phase,” Mags commented.

“You know what’s coming.”

A 170% gain from current levels would put 1 ETH at around 0.092 BTC, or $8,500.

Ether price performance against Bitcoin caught attention elsewhere in the crypto community this week. Digital asset lawyer Joe Carlasare observed ETH/BTC breaking out of a downtrend that had lasted almost half a year.

“I’d love to see $ETH hold this previous resistance zone as support,” crypto trader, analyst and entrepreneur Michaël van de Poppe told X followers Wednesday. 

“What does that say? Well, it does say that buyers are willing to be stepping in on higher grounds than last week and that would signal a potential rally to $3,700.”

$100,000 Bitcoin price back on the table

As Cointelegraph reported, talk of a long-term BTC price bottom also continues to stem from promising price indicator data.

Several yardsticks have begun to echo signals seen during the pit of the 2022 bear market for BTC/USD.

Despite this, major concerns remain over Bitcoin’s strength at current levels, with even the 2025 yearly open at $93,500 still unable to be reclaimed as support.

“I still think that we’re done with this entire correction and are forming a bottom, before we go back into a leg upwards to the ATH,” Van de Poppe argued on the day. 

“If $91.5K holds as support, then I would assume we’ll be seeing a test at $100K in the coming week.”
