Can Ethereum Break $4,000 and Lead the Next Crypto Bull Run?
Bitcoin’s grip on the market is tightening, leaving most altcoins struggling to keep pace, but Ethereum may be on the verge of rewriting the narrative.
Analysts point out that the rising BTC dominance—now squeezing smaller-cap coins—is often a sign that capital is consolidating in the top assets. While many tokens are showing weakness, Ethereum’s chart suggests a potential turning point.
Market strategist Benjamin Cowen believes the next few weeks could determine the course for ETH in 2025. He says that if the asset can break through the $4,000 barrier, it could ignite a strong rally into the year’s end. A failure to push past that ceiling might instead result in a slower climb, with price action forming a higher low around September before making another serious move upward.
For now, Ethereum’s most immediate challenge is a band of resistance between $3,900 and $4,100. Repeated rejections have driven the price back to the $3,500–$3,600 support area. A daily close under $3,500 could see momentum shift toward the $3,200–$3,300 zone before buyers return in force.
Beyond the charts, some analysts think macro conditions are quietly setting up the perfect backdrop for a major crypto bull run. Inflation has slipped to 1.67%—lower than the Federal Reserve’s 2% target—while job numbers have weakened by more than 258,000 positions. If the Fed responds with interest rate cuts, it would inject liquidity into financial markets, historically boosting demand for high-growth assets like cryptocurrencies.
Under those conditions, Ethereum wouldn’t just be testing a price level—it could be positioned to lead the next explosive phase of the digital asset market.

It started in 2016 with Bitcoin. Like most people at the time, he didn't fully understand it - so he kept digging. Blockchain, tokenomics, the projects, the cycles. That curiosity never stopped, and eventually pulled him into traditional markets too: equities, commodities, macro. Not because he left crypto behind, but because you can't properly understand one without the other. What drives him is straightforward: he wants to know why something is happening, not just that it's happening. Most market coverage stops at the headline - price up, price down, here's a chart. Alex finds that kind of reporting actively unhelpful. If you walk away from an article without understanding the mechanism behind the move, what did you actually learn? He holds a degree in Tourism from New Bulgarian University - not the most obvious path into financial markets, but markets have a way of pulling in people who are simply too curious to stay out. He has authored over 200 in-depth analyses and more than 10,000 articles across crypto and traditional finance. He still thinks every day in markets teaches him something new. That's probably why he hasn't stopped.
