After weeks of sideways trading, this breakout marks a potential turning point, as many altcoins followed ETH’s lead with sharp upward moves. Analysts are calling this shift the early stages of a new altseason — a period where alternative cryptocurrencies outperform Bitcoin and deliver significant gains.

Among those spotlighting Ethereum’s strength is Ryan Sean Adams, founder of Mythos Capital, who took to X to highlight the strategic evolution of Ethereum’s positioning. “The ETH community has executed blue money gospel marvelously over the past 2 months,” he wrote, referring to his earlier thesis of Ethereum as a global, productive asset.
This renewed narrative, focused on Ethereum as a yield-generating, store-of-value asset backed by an active economy, appears to be resonating with institutional and retail investors alike. With Ethereum leading the market and altcoins gaining momentum, all eyes are now on whether this rally can sustain and confirm the start of a broader bullish phase for the crypto market. Ethereum Undervaluation Sparks New Narrative
Since 2022, Ethereum has been underperforming against Bitcoin, with altcoins suffering as a result. While Bitcoin continues to dominate the crypto narrative — recently breaking into new all-time highs — Ethereum still trades more than 60% below its November 2021 peak. This stark divergence has frustrated many ETH holders, but some analysts and investors now view it as a massive opportunity.
Adams has become a prominent voice in Ethereum’s ecosystem, and believes a major shift is already underway. According to Adams, the Ethereum community has successfully rebranded ETH as a “blue money” asset — a concept that positions Ethereum alongside traditional stores of value like gold, oil, and Bitcoin. But unlike those, ETH is backed by an on-chain economy that generates yield.
“We are emphasizing ETH, the asset now,” Adams wrote on X. “It’s made a huge difference. Keep going. ETH = world reserve asset.”
His bold, almost maximalist stance is a call for the market to reassess Ethereum’s fundamental value. Rather than seeing it solely as infrastructure for decentralized apps, Adams argues that Ethereum is maturing into a globally viable reserve asset — one that offers both security and yield. If that narrative continues gaining traction, ETH could be poised for a major revaluation in the months ahead.

The chart reveals that ETH has now reclaimed the 100-week and 200-week moving averages, which sit at $2,644 and $2,428, respectively. Reclaiming these long-term averages is a strong technical signal that the downtrend may be over, and a new bullish phase could be starting.

Despite the breakout, Ethereum is still trading far below its all-time high near $4,900. This presents upside potential if the bullish momentum continues. With this breakout, ETH also confirms a higher low structure, reinforcing the bullish case for further gains.
If price holds above $2,850 in the coming days, the next resistance zone sits around $3,300–$3,600. A close above those levels could open the door to a rally toward $4,000 and beyond.
