A well-known cryptocurrency commentator thinks Ethereum is poised to reach new all-time highs, potentially setting off large gains for other smaller cryptocurrencies. The analyst, Alex Becker, shared his expert analysis on these points in a recent livestream where he was talking about Ethereum’s price action and what that may portend for the wider market.

The second-largest cryptocurrency recovered strongly after touching a multi-year low of $1,380 recently. The recovery has been very rapid, with Ethereum rising almost 20% in a five-day timeframe. In spite of this rise, current prices still indicate a steep 50% fall from where Ethereum had been trading at the start of 2025. Analyst Asserts 90% Probability Of Shattering Past Records The cryptocurrency also has a way to go before it hits its all-time high of $4,890, which is around 60% lower than the peak. Ethereum would have to more than double its current price to hit its previous record. Becker voiced strong optimism regarding Ethereum’s future, saying there’s a “90% chance” it will break its prior record high. He even dared viewers to come back in three years and ridicule him if his prediction fails to materialize. The analyst is optimistic in part due to what he perceives as widespread negativity in regards to Ethereum, with most investors writing it off as “dead.” However, Becker is going the other direction, indicating the cryptocurrency is overvalued and offers a good buying opportunity for those who had the willingness to accept the risks. Without hype there is a 90% chance ETH returns to its old ATH… Which will trigger huge gains in alts from these prices… Making this the easiest way to 3-8x your money in history. Ever. This isn’t even the best case scenario where it gets a true bull past aths. — Alex Becker 🍊🏆🥇 (@ZssBecker) April 11, 2025 Possible Ripple Effect On Other Cryptocurrencies According to Becker, an Ethereum “comeback” would have profound implications on other leading cryptocurrencies. He believes coins positioned just below Ethereum to experience explosive growth in case his expectations come to fruition. The analyst outlined specific cryptocurrencies he thinks will gain, such as Cardano (ADA), XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), SUI, Avalanche (AVAX), and Solana (SOL). Though stressing the risks involved with cryptocurrency investing, Becker recommended such coins could be worth holding by long-term investors willing to deal with high-risk assets.

For Ethereum, he predicted that a four-fold ROI on present levels can happen, and prices can possibly touch as much as $10,000 under a highly optimistic scenario. The analyst was even more optimistic about XRP, indicating that it could beat Ethereum by 25%-50% if it starts to close the market capitalization gap between the two cryptocurrencies. Even with his positive view, Becker admitted that investing in cryptocurrencies is still very risky. He cautioned that in the worst-case scenario, Ethereum can fall to $500, which is a 50% decline from current prices for investors. Featured image from Reuters, chart from TradingView
