- Ethereum (ETH) is leading a new altcoin season, with its price surging almost 50% in the last month to trade at around US$4,271.
- The rally is fueled by strong institutional interest, with Ethereum ETFs accumulating US$8.7 billion in inflows over the past year.
- Analysts believe this could be the start of a prolonged rally, with some projecting a price target of US$8K for ETH based on a recent symmetrical triangle breakout.
With a lot of technical improvements in place and institutional money coming in (and leadership signaling a more market-focused stance), it looks like Ethereum (ETH) is driving the altseason with confidence.
The second-largest crypto surged nearly 50% over the past month, trading around US$4,271 (AU$6,545) as of today. Many factors are at play here, but mostly, as stated, institutional inflows, technical upgrades, and shifting governance dynamics.

Ethereum ETFs, now one year into trading, have accumulated US$8.7B (AU$13.33B) in inflows, creating a consistent demand floor and signaling heightened institutional conviction. SoSoValue data shows these vehicles have driven over US$461M (AU$705M) in daily total net inflows, over US$200M (AU$306M) more than yesterday.
So, What’s Next for ETH?
After months and even years of being sidelined in the market, ETH is finally having its big break, and many analysts believe this is the start of a more prolonged rally.
For instance, both Crypto Rover and Titan of Crypto have noted that the price of ETH has broken out from a symmetrical triangle, placing a target of US$8K (AU$12K) in the coming months.

That’s a gain of more than 90% from current levels. But historical precedents show similar breakouts on Ethereum’s higher timeframes have led to prolonged rallies, particularly when accompanied by rising volume and supportive macro sentiment.
For instance, in April 2020, ETH broke out of a comparable structure, rallied over 950% to its projected target, and then exceeded it as bullish momentum accelerated.
