Ethereum Rebounds to $2,800, Top Analyst Says ETH Bull Run Still in Early Stages, Critical Crossover Pending

Analyst Ali Martinez highlights the 180-day MVRV Momentum as a key bullish indicator for Ethereum, suggesting further gains for ETH following recent gains.

Ethereum has seen a significant uptick today, surging 8% to $2,800. This marks its highest level in three months, following a relatively quiet period in the market. The recent price movement has sparked optimism among analysts, who believe that Ethereum’s rally may be far from over.

Ethereum Growth Potential

Key market indicators point to the potential for continued upward momentum. Ali Martinez, a market analyst, has emphasized Ethereum’s 180-day MVRV Momentum, which measures the cryptocurrency’s price relative to its Market-Value-to-Realized-Value (MVRV) ratio.

Historical data suggests that when the 180-day MVRV Momentum crosses its moving average (MA), Ethereum typically enters a period of strong performance. Despite Ethereum’s price increase from $2,400 to $2,800, this critical crossover has not yet occurred, signaling the possibility of further gains.

Analysts Point to Recovery Signals

Other analysts like Benjamin Cowen have drawn attention to the ETH/BTC trading pair. Cowen suggests that if Ethereum’s performance relative to Bitcoin breaches its 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), it could indicate that Ethereum has reached a relative low against Bitcoin, and from that point forward, more upside could follow.

In another analysis, market observer Michael van de Poppe referred to Ethereum’s recent surge as a significant rebound. According to van de Poppe, Ethereum could maintain its upward trajectory by establishing a higher low in its price pattern, a common signal of continued bullish momentum. He also noted a surge in activity within the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector as a further bullish narrative for Ethereum.

Meanwhile, in a recent panel discussion, Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Assets Research at VanEck, described Ethereum as being oversold and predicted that a resurgence of speculative interest could drive ETH’s value higher.

Short Squeeze and Speculative Interest 

Adding to the bullish outlook, the pseudonymous trader Byzantine General suggested that Ethereum could be poised for a significant short squeeze. Such events often trigger rapid price increases, potentially setting the stage for what he referred to as a “monster rally.”

Similarly, analyst Miles Deutscher observed that Ethereum outperformed Bitcoin over the past 24 hours, which has further bolstered market confidence.
