Ethereum Rally Could Drive Significant Gains for Multiple Altcoins

Analyst Alex Becker predicts that Ethereum may reach new all-time highs, potentially boosting smaller cryptocurrencies.

Ethereum Recovery

  • Ethereum rose nearly 5% in 24 hours, trading at $1,675.
  • 10% increase over the past week after hitting a low of $1,380.
  • Current price shows a 50% decline from early 2025 levels.

High Probability of New Records

  • Analyst claims a 90% chance Ethereum will break its previous high of $4,890.
  • This would require more than a double of the current price.
  • Becker notes widespread negativity around Ethereum as a potential positive indicator.

Impact on Other Cryptocurrencies

  • Becker believes Ethereum's recovery could significantly impact other cryptocurrencies.
  • Coins like Cardano (ADA), XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), SUI, Avalanche (AVAX), and Solana (SOL) may experience growth.
  • Long-term investors should consider these assets despite inherent risks.

Price Targets and Projections

  • Becker suggests a four-fold return for Ethereum could lead to prices as high as $10,000 in an optimistic scenario.
  • XRP could outperform Ethereum by 25%-50% if it narrows the market cap gap.
  • Warning: worst-case scenario could see Ethereum drop to $500, representing a 50% decline from current values.
