While investors witnessed many firsts in Bitcoin (BTC), the same did not happen for Ethereum (ETH) and altcoins. Because while BTC achieved new ATHs, ETH and many altcoins are still far from their previous ATHs. The market is divided into two regarding the altcoin rally, with one group claiming that the expected altcoin rally will not happen, while the other group argues that the altcoin season will come.

Poppe added that ETH needs to show stronger momentum and resilience for traders to close their positions at the breakeven point or with a profit. “If we want the alt season that we all long for, that is, if we want to get our positions out of balance or maybe make money, then we need Ethereum to outperform, we need Ethereum to show strength.” Aside from Poppe, pseudonymous crypto analyst Ted noted that ETH is currently following a similar trajectory to Bitcoin’s 2017-2021 cycle, predicting that a true parabolic rise could begin once ETH breaks the $4,000 barrier. *This is not investment advice.
