Ether’s price is forming “structural changes,” indicating that a big move may be on the horizon. Some crypto commentators say it may retest its all-time high within the next seven days.
Bankless podcast host Ryan Adams<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/ryansadams/status/1865965881014059105?s=46" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null"> said</a> in a Dec. 9 X post that a new Ether (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">ETH</a>) all-time high “could happen” within the next week. Ether’s current all-time high is $4,878, reached in November 2021.

If ETH were to hit a new high in the next seven days, it would need a 24% weekly gain from its current price of $3,946, <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">according</a> to CoinMarketCap.

Pseudonymous crypto trader Pentoshi said in a Dec. 9 X <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/cryptoposeidonn/status/1865864241938346320?s=46" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">post</a> to his 830,900 followers that Ether “is having structural changes as well as the beginning of consistent and large ETF flows.”&nbsp;
Pentoshi highlighted that Ether had its “highest weekly close of the year” and echoed Adams’ sentiment, suggesting a retest of its all-time high could happen sooner than many traders anticipate.
“There is not much resistance from here to ATH, which should act as a magnet. Above that is clear skies,” Pentoshi said.

“ETH is about to break out of its 4-year, 1,460-day range to the upside. Much higher, far beyond your worst nightmares,” Poseidon said in a Dec. 9 X<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/CryptoPoseidonn/status/1865864241938346320" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null"> post</a>.

Analysts have recently predicted that Ether’s underperformance against Bitcoin may be coming to an end.
“I think the ETH/BTC collapse is over (or nearly over), and it should go higher over the next 6-12 months,” Into The Cryptoverse founder<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-ether-ratio-strength-eth-price-crypto-analyst" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null"> Benjamin Cowen said on Dec. 4</a>.
