The post Ethereum Price Resilient! ETH to Hit $8K In January 2022? appeared first on Coinpedia - Fintech & Cryptocurreny News Media| Crypto Guide
While Bitcoin and the bulk of altcoins have struggled to recover from recent losses, Ethereum’s price has been outperforming them.
ETH price has remained steady against BTC, achieving a three-year high on the ETH/BTC chart, despite the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization falling to a three-year low of $3,400 over the weekend.
On the ETH/BTC chart on December 5, the Ethereum price hit a three-year high, reaching 0.857 BTC, the highest level since May 2018. Despite the market crisis on December 4, the layer 1 token has regained the majority of its losses, while Bitcoin and other altcoins continue to struggle.
Ethereum, the dominant smart contract platform, is expected to have a tremendous rebound, according to a well-known crypto strategist and trader (ETH).
After breaking out of a bullish continuation pattern against Bitcoin (ETH/BTC), crypto expert Justin Bennett tells his 93,500 Twitter followers that Ethereum is now in “full beast mode.”
He notes that ETH is now above 0.082 BTC ($4,138.70) and climbing and the objective is 0.10-0.11 BTC ($5,047.20-$5,551.92). Hence, there’s still room to move higher in the next few weeks. The objective from the January breakout is 0.16 BTC ($8,075.52), he added.
ETH/BTC is presently trading at 0.085 BTC, implying a potential gain of 90% if the pair reaches Bennett’s second objective.
Even after this weekend’s severe corrective move, the second-largest crypto asset by market size, Ethereum, according to the crypto strategist, still appears relatively robust against the US dollar.
He says that It’s hilarious that the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is down 14% from its all-time high, while many on Twitter are acting as if the sky is falling. Although one needs to be cautious, panic is not necessary, he adds.
