The Ethereum price had hit a new all-time high above $4,900, but had quickly retraced as a result of heavy selling. This has since turned sentiment around the cryptocurrency toward the negative. However, not everyone is on the bandwagon as crypto analyst JACKIS believes that the digital asset is still bullish. In fact, the analyst explains that the Ethereum price is bullish for years to come, despite saying that one of the major bull market indicators has come to an end.
End Of An Era: Forget The Crypto 4-Year Cycle
The crypto 4-year cycle remains the most prominent of all cycles, having served as a pointer toward each of the previous bull markets. This cycle coincides with the Bitcoin halving, which occurs roughly every four years, and precedes each bull market by a year. This means the year after each Bitcoin halving has often seen the start of a market-wide bull run.
However, this time around, the market seems to be deviating, especially as digital assets such as Ethereum have not followed Bitcoin straight to new all-time highs. This is something that crypto analyst Jackis alludes to in their post, telling investors to forget about the 4-year cycle.
According to the analyst, for Ethereum specifically, the 4-year cycle had ended back in December 2024. This coincides with the year in which Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs were approved, leading to what many believe is a premature high for Bitcoin, although Ethereum did not enjoy the same fate.
Given this, the analyst believes that investors must evolve with the fact that there is no longer a 4-year cycle for Ethereum. But this does not mean that Ethereum is no longer bullish. Quite the opposite, in fact, as the analyst says Ethereum is bullish for years to come.
Ethereum Price Set For New Highs
With the current state of the market, the analyst points out that the recent rejection from all-time highs has led to a 6th touch of the outlined trendline. However, this is no cause for alarm because historically, there has been an MTF shakeout before an HTF expansion.
In the present case, it is possible for more sell-offs to take the Ethereum price below $4,000 again. This would be a pre-bull market shakeout, leading bears into a possible trap with beliefs that the cycle top is in. But as the analyst explains, the ETH price could rally from here toward highs above $7,000. “If the price wants to immediately continue, then it needs to accept above 21 ATHs straight from here,” Jackis said.
