Ethereum\u2019s price action in the past seven days has been nothing short of interesting. <\/a>During this period, the leading altcoin has surged past $4,000 for the first time since December 2024 and is also now trading above $4,200, reclaiming a level it last held in 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to on-chain data, the breakout has injected confidence into the market, especially among retail traders. Ethereum\u2019s technical setup and comparisons<\/a> with Bitcoin are now showing the possibility of a rally on par with the most explosive phases in its history.<\/p>\n

Ethereum Fractal Structure Signals 1,110% Rally<\/h2>\n

According to technical analysis of Ethereum\u2019s price action on the weekly candlestick timeframe chart, the leading altcoin is about to enter into a 1,110% rally that might take its price above $20,000. This analysis was initially noted by<\/a> crypto analyst Merlijn The Trader, who identified a repeating cycle that closely aligns Ethereum\u2019s current performance with Bitcoin\u2019s 2018-2021 run.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Taking to the social media platform X, the analyst noted that in that earlier cycle, Bitcoin endured an 83% drop from its highs before staging a powerful 342% recovery. This was followed by a secondary correction of around 63%, which ultimately served as the base for a 1,110% surge between the second half of 2020 and the first half of 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ethereum\u2019s weekly chart has been following<\/a> the same sequence almost step-for-step in the past few years. After a steep 83% decline from its 2021 peak, Ethereum mounted a 342% rebound, only to experience a deep retracement of roughly 63% to $1,500 in April 2025. Since then, however, Ethereum has mounted another rebound, with the latest move<\/a> being the most recent rally back above $4,200.<\/p>\n\n

This latest rally shows Ethereum is now in the final phase, where it could be positioned for a comparable explosive run to as high as $20,000 if the fractal continues to play out.<\/p>\n

In another analysis, Merlijn The Trader also pointed out that Ethereum\u2019s weekly chart is echoing its own 2017 breakout structure<\/a>. In that cycle, Ethereum reclaimed the 50-week moving average after a prolonged consolidation phase before entering into a sustained and powerful rally. The 2025 chart shows a similar reclaim of the 50 MA, and the price is now breaking above the<\/a> $4,000 resistance zone that has stood since March 2024.<\/p>\n\n

Bullish Sentiment Building Above $4,000<\/h2>\n

Although Ethereum\u2019s recent price rally can be mostly attributed to institutional buys <\/a>in Spot Ethereum ETFs, the breakout above $4,000 has not gone unnoticed in the broader market. Notably, data from<\/a> on-chain analytics platform Santiment reflects a dramatic rise in bullish activity across social channels.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mentions tied to buying, optimism, and higher price expectations have surged sharply, now outpacing bearish commentary<\/a> such as selling or lower price calls by almost two-to-one. Although this can create the conditions in which Ethereum\u2019s rally can sustain momentum, too much FOMO can also put a temporary halt to any rally.<\/p>\n\n

At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,225, up by 23% in the past seven days.<\/p>\n
