Analysts predict a surge to nearly $4,000 by early 2024.
Renowned cryptocurrency analyst Michael van de Poppe recently said: shared His insight into the potential trajectory of Ethereum, predicting an upward trend despite temporary declines. His analysis points to a significant rise in the value of Ethereum, suggesting the market will be strong heading into 2024.
According to Van de Poppe, Ethereum’s current market movements indicate a continued upward trend. Despite the potential correction, Van de Poppe remains confident in Ethereum’s robustness.
Ethereum Technical Indicators: A Closer Look at the Rising Trend
Van de Poppe’s analysis digs deeper into Ethereum’s market action, noting ETH’s “positive support and resistance reversal around $2,125.” Using the Fibonacci retracement indicator, he estimates the potential upside for Ethereum to be between $3,400 and $3,800 by the first quarter of 2024.
This forecast is based on an analysis of Ethereum price movements over a three-day period, indicating strong market fundamentals supporting this growth.

Meanwhile, Ethereum recently experienced a retracement, with its value falling from the $2,300 area on Sunday to $2,161 yesterday. However, this downward trend appears to have been short-lived. Ethereum appears to have found support at this lower boundary and has since reversed its decline.
This support level, identified in market parlance as an order block, historically indicates a potential reversal in price action. So far, Ethereum has shown a resurgence, with its value rising 2.3% over the past 24 hours, supporting predictions of a continued bullish rally.
The asset is currently trading at $2,276, and at the time of writing, daily trading volume has increased from a low of $12.7 billion recorded yesterday to over $20 billion as of today.
The Future of Ethereum: Beyond Van de Poppe’s Analysis
The bullish outlook for Ethereum goes beyond Van de Poppe’s analysis. JPMorgan analysts also share a positive view on Ethereum’s future market performance. They predict that Ethereum will surpass Bitcoin and other digital currencies by 2024.
As NewsBTC reports, their analysis centers around Ethereum’s upcoming EIP-4844 upgrade, also known as Protodanksharding.
This upgrade, scheduled to be implemented in the first half of 2024, is expected to significantly improve Ethereum’s network capabilities. Protodanksharding is the first step toward full adoption of Danksharding, Ethereum’s more efficient sharding mechanism.
This method simplifies the operations of Ethereum by introducing chunks of data linked to blocks. These blobs can hold more data than traditional blocks and are important for optimizing Ethereum performance without the complexity of dividing the network into multiple shard chains.
