NAIROBI (CoinChapter.com)— Ethereum (ETH) could see its price triple during the next altseason, with analysts pointing to shifting market trends and historical patterns as potential catalysts. The projected growth reflects Ethereum’s established role in the crypto ecosystem and evolving liquidity dynamics across altcoins.
Bitcoin Takes a Backseat as Altcoins Show Strength
Bitcoin’s dominance (BTC.D) is showing signs of slowing down after leading the market for months. Analysts argue this trend sets the stage for altcoins like Ethereum to attract fresh capital. Crypto analyst Symbiote believes Ethereum’s recent price stability and its role in DeFi and NFTs put it in a prime position to benefit.
“Altcoins are showing strength while Bitcoin has been moving sideways,” Symbiote stated, adding that Ethereum and other high-cap altcoins are starting to gain momentum. Historical trends back this outlook, as altcoin rallies often follow Bitcoin’s periods of dominance.
The Ethereum-to-Bitcoin (ETH/BTC) ratio, now near historic lows, could signal a turning point. A rising ratio typically indicates Ethereum outperforming Bitcoin, a trend many expect to see during the altseason.
Ethereum (ETH) Poised to Lead, But Competition Looms
Symbiote also noted that Ethereum (ETH) could deliver 2-3X gains during the altseason, making it a safer bet for traders compared to smaller, high-risk projects.
Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, cautioned that the current Bitcoin rally is fueled by institutional capital through exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which may not flow directly into altcoins.
“These institutional investors and ETF buyers have no intention of rotating their assets from Bitcoin to altcoins,” Ju stated. He added that altcoins, including Ethereum, need independent strategies to attract capital rather than relying on Bitcoin’s momentum.
Rising sentiment toward Ethereum-based DeFi and NFT projects suggests renewed interest in the ecosystem. Crypto Feras, a market observer, noted that altseasons historically occur in the latter stages of Bitcoin’s rallies, creating a lag effect.
Ethereum (ETH) remains strong in trending narratives like real-world assets (RWA) and decentralized finance (DeFi), which continue drawing interest from both retail and institutional investors. Symbiote suggests these sectors will be key in boosting Ethereum’s appeal during the upcoming altseason.
As altseason nears, Ethereum’s ability to reach its projected 3X growth will depend on attracting fresh liquidity and maintaining relevance in a crowded market.
