With the Ethereum price experiencing a decline on Monday amid a broader market correction, the altcoin continues to shine with one of its best performances in July to date.
Over the past thirty days, the Ethereum price has surged by an impressive 80%, marking a significant recovery after a long period of consolidation and retest of lower levels that saw minimal bullish activity.
Ethereum Price Poised For Breakout
While other major digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and XRP have reported gains of 10% and 40%, respectively on the monthly time frame, the recent Ethereum price resurgence is particularly notable.
Crypto analyst Lark Davis recently took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to assert that Ethereum is on the verge of breaking the $4,000 mark, indicating that momentum is building rapidly.
Despite its recent gains, Ethereum remains approximately 25% shy of its peak from the 2021 cycle. Historically, Bitcoin dominance has played a crucial role in determining the Ethereum price trajectory.
The analyst observed that for the Ethereum price to reach its peak, Bitcoin’s dominance needs to dip to around 40%. Currently, Bitcoin’s dominance is in a downtrend at 61%, and the last time it fell to similar levels, ETH rallied over 200%.
Another analyst, known as JACKIS on X, has made a bold proclamation that Ethereum will likely never trade below $3,000 again, suggesting that any such decline would indicate a catastrophic failure of the asset.
However, JACKIS acknowledges that a temporary correction down to around $3,400 is still plausible given Ethereum’s proximity to the $4,000 threshold.
Wall Street Sees $60,000 Implied Value
Adding to the bullish sentiment surrounding ETH’s momentum, the network’s potential has been emphasized by BitMine, a company involved in Bitcoin and Ethereum mining.
In a recent social media thread, BitMine highlighted that many on Wall Street view Ethereum as the most significant macro trade for the next decade.
Tom Lee, the chair of BitMine, referred to stablecoins as the “ChatGPT moment” for the cryptocurrency space, projecting that stablecoin market capitalization could soar to $4 trillion—a tenfold increase. Notably, over 60% of these stablecoins are based on the Ethereum network, boosting demand for the token.
Moreover, Wall Street is increasingly exploring ways to tokenize assets on the Ethereum blockchain, further driving interest and investment in the platform.
BitMine referenced a research titled “The Bull Case For ETH,” which posits that the long-term value of Ethereum could reach an astonishing $704,000, representing an extraordinary 18,000% increase from current levels.
To contextualize this valuation, BitMine consulted several research firms to estimate the “replacement” value of Ethereum in relation to Wall Street’s activities. While this figure is intended for illustrative purposes, the implied value for Ethereum has been suggested to be around $60,000.
When writing, ETH price trades approximately at $3,766.
