Although Ethereum is currently up by about 46% from the starting point at the beginning of 2024, December has been underlined by a notable correction.This correction saw Ethereum declining noticeably from a $4,000 price point in the middle of the month, and it now finds itself consolidating below $3,400. 


Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade recently shared a bullish outlook for Ethereum in light of this consolidation. Particularly, the analyst has projected a surge to $8,000 sometime in 2025. Historical Pattern Says Bullish Trajectory For Ethereum


Trader Tardigrade, known for identifying long-term market trends, took to social media platform X to share insightsinto Ethereum’s price potential. According to technical analysis, the second-largest cryptocurrency is now in its final consolidation phase before commencing a strong leg upwards. This consolidation has made ETH’s previous all-time high look unsurmountable, especially as it has faced resistance at the $4,000 price level multiple times in the current market cycle. Despite this, according to Trader Tardigrade, Ethereum’s target of $8,000 remains unchanged.  Related Reading Legendary Analyst Peter Brandt Says Bitcoin Price Could Crash To $78,000, Here’s Why 1 day ago


The foundation of Trader Tardigrade’s analysis lies in ETH’s weekly candlestick chart, where patterns from the previous market cycle between 2018 and 2021 provide a roadmap for its current trajectory. During that earlier cycle, Ethereum consolidated near the $500 mark for an extended period, and its then all-time high of $1,500 seemed out of reach. However, this consolidation was followed by an explosive rally in 2021 amidst a backdrop of inflows and interest in the broader cryptocurrency market.


Trader Tardigrade sees parallels between that historical period and Ethereum’s ongoing price action in the 2021–2025 cycle. Therefore, the cryptocurrency’s current consolidation phase is building the necessary momentum for a similar rally, one that could ultimately push Ethereum to an unprecedented $8,000 price.

Reaching the $8,000 price target would see Ethereum trading at new highs and 64% above its current all-time high of $4,878. Although this outlook is based on parallels with the 2021 rally, factors that could push ETH in the current cycle are very different than they were back then. Ethereum’s rally in 2021 was bolstered by interest in decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), dApps, and smart contracts, of which ETH was at the forefront.

Recent market dynamics place factors such as institutional demand and inflows into Spot Ethereum ETFsas the major drivers of any projected Ethereum price rally at this point. 


Amidst this backdrop, on-chain data shows that Ethereum has attracted more long-term holdersin 2024 compared to Bitcoin. As it stands, around 75% of ETH holders qualify as long-term holders, with many of them anticipating ETH’s move above $5,000 and beyond in 2025.


At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $3,354, and a move to $8,000 would represent a 140% increase from the current price level. ETH bulls push for $3,400 | Source: ETHUSDT on Tradingview.com Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
