Ethereum ends year long resistance at $4,500, leading to near term targets at $5,250 and beyond.
Analyst Ali sees ETH advancing toward $5,200 and $6,400 if current bullish momentum continues without a reversal.
Ted Pillows compares ETH’s breakout phase to Bitcoin’s 2020 rally, citing billions in daily inflows driving momentum.
Ethereum has broken a major technical top, leading to predictions of higher price targets in the months ahead. The digital asset recently moved above $4,500, a level that stopped rallies from March to May 2024 after three failed attempts.
This breakout, recorded in August 2025, ends more than a year of price compression. The move has changed market sentiment, with analysts now eyeing upside targets at $5,200 and $6,400. According to analyst Ali, this could lead to further gains if current momentum continues without a sharp reversal.
Break Above $4,500 Resets Technical Outlook
From March through May 2024, Ethereum had repeated resistance near $4,500, leading to fast pullbacks after each approach. This zone acted as a strong barrier until the recent breakout.

The price surge from $3,750 to $4,715 carried notable momentum, breaking the prior triple top structure. The $4,500 level, once a cap, may now act as support if tested. Support levels are at $1,500, $2,750, and $3,750, while resistance is at $5,250, $5,750, and $6,750.
The breach of $4,500 removes a long standing obstacle, leading toward near term resistance at $5,250. However, analysts note that a pullback to retest $4,500 is possible before continuation. A drop below this could expose $3,750, particularly if broader markets change to a risk off stance.
Analyst Compares Current Phase to Bitcoin in 2020
Analyst Ted Pillows compared Ethereum’s present and Bitcoin’s position in 2020. At that time, Bitcoin broke past $19,000 and delivered a threefold increase in just three months. Pillows noted that Ethereum is having billions in daily inflows, which could sustain its current momentum.
Ethereum shows a multi phase pattern similar to Bitcoin’s 2017–2021 cycle. It began with a rally toward the $4,391 all time high, followed by a steep decline, then extended consolidation. A secondary rally and correction placed the local bottom at $1,872 before the current breakout past $3,012 and $4,391.
Technical Pattern Points Toward Higher Levels
This breakout phase is a continuation of Ethereum multi year market cycle. Key resistance levels are between $6,000 and $8,000, aligning with long term targets discussed by analysts. Bitcoin’s historical breakout from $13,398 to above $24,000 provides a reference for the potential magnitude of such moves.
The current outlook combines strong technical momentum with the removal of major resistance barriers. It remains to be seen whether Ethereum maintains its upward movement or faces a deeper retest of support.
