Ethereum (ETH) has shown renewed strength this week, rising alongside Bitcoin and breaking out of low volatility.
Analysts suggest Ethereum could be undervalued, predicting a potential upside target of $19,500, nearly five times its current value.
Market analyst Gert van Lagen highlighted an inverse head and shoulders formation on Ethereum's two-week chart, signaling a major trend reversal.
Van Lagen tweeted that Ethereum may be closer to $20k than most anticipate, with a descending broadening wedge pattern reinforcing a potential breakout.
Analyst Master Ananda noted Ethereum broke above the 200-day moving average, seen as a signal of sustained bullish momentum and readiness for significant growth.
Ananda forecasted potential price levels of $5,790 and $8,513 in the upcoming bullish wave, but suggested the real upside could extend far beyond those figures.

Institutional confidence in Ethereum is rising, highlighted by growing inflows into Ethereum ETFs, indicating increasing investor interest in the cryptocurrency.
Research from Bernstein analysts suggests Ethereum is being recognized as a foundational layer for financial innovation, particularly in stablecoin issuance and tokenized assets.
