Ether (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">ETH</a>) is due for a breakout toward $5,000, crypto analysis says, as the largest altcoin gains ground against Bitcoin (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">BTC</a>).

Ether is having its turn in the spotlight as Bitcoin cools its record-breaking rally.
While lingering below the $100,000 mark, BTC/USD has slipped from traders’ radar as a long-awaited “altseason” emerges.
<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/tron-xrp-70-god-candle-to-all-time-highs-trx-price" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">Following snap gains</a> for both XRP (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/xrp-price-index" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">XRP</a>) and Tron (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/tron-price-index" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">TRX</a>), Ether is now leading the charge.
“ETH finally showing up to the party,” popular trader Jelle <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/CryptoJelleNL/status/1864333806175473699" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">summarized</a> in one of his latest X posts.
On various timeframes, Jelle highlighted a key resistance/support flip that should send ETH/USD to the psychologically significant $5,000 level next.

He is not alone. Other market observers, patiently waiting for Ether to copy Bitcoin’s rampant upside, have even loftier price targets.
“No matter how you look, you cannot ignore this giant cup and handle/consolidation triangle forming for Ethereum since Nov 2021: Price Target = $7,346,” fellow trader Venturefounder <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/venturefounder/status/1864072162442662079" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">continued</a>.

Trader, analyst and entrepreneur Michaël van de Poppe flagged a bullish divergence for the ETH/BTC relative strength index (RSI) on three-day timeframes.
“ETH shows a ton of momentum as it’s facing its first resistance. I’m pretty happy that we’re seeing this here, and I expect we will have massive momentum from the entire Ethereum ecosystem,” he <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/CryptoMichNL/status/1864350452093260094" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">told</a> X followers on the day.

“The volatile retest is playing out perfectly. In fact, the retest of the trendline as new support appears to be successful,” he <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/rektcapital/status/1864338165940576330" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" text="null" title="https://x.com/rektcapital/status/1864338165940576330">commented</a> alongside an illustrative chart.&nbsp;

 “Continued stability at the ~$3650 region would enable a challenge into $4000 (red).”
