🚀 ETH has surged 30% in a month, is the next stop heading straight for $5000?

According to data from @TrendResearch, ETH has risen from $1800 to $2400 since 4/24, an increase of about 30% in just a month, showing a clearly strong upward trend🔥

This is not just a simple follow of BTC; the ETH ecosystem is also gaining momentum, with L2, DeFi, NFT, and even Meme coin booms all showing signs of capital inflow.

🧠 What do the predictions say?

Basic version: ETH long-term targets $5000+

Optimistic version: If BTC breaks $300,000, ETH has a chance to directly target $10,000

Don’t think it’s exaggerated; this is not just a slogan. The ETH ecosystem itself is the strongest "infrastructure" in Web3.

Whether you're looking at staking returns, L2 development, or the new narratives of AI/blockchain integration, the foundational structure of ETH remains irreplaceable.

📊 Several key factors behind this surge:

1️⃣ BTC leads the way, and ETH traditionally benefits from it

2️⃣ L2 transaction volume has surged, and on-chain activities have reached a six-month high

3️⃣ ETF expectations are starting to heat up, with funds positioning themselves early

4️⃣ U.S. dollar policy is easing, and it seems the market is entering a risk-on mode

💬 My opinion:

This wave of ETH is actually reminding everyone of one thing— not all funds are going to play with Meme coins; a small portion of smart money has already returned to the fundamentals to position itself.

We see several signals in the market:

On-chain TVL is starting to rebound

Major L2 projects are heating up again

Even some established DeFi projects are quietly strengthening

This tells me: ETH's price isn't the only thing rising; the overall ecosystem's underlying heat is also gradually increasing.

⚠️ Of course, after a short-term surge, there will always be fluctuations; there's nothing new about that. But if you ask me about the medium to long-term outlook?

ETH reaching $5000 is really not a dream.

Moreover, I believe the most potential lies not just in waiting for spot prices to rise, but in seeing how much "added value" the entire ETH ecosystem can bring. In the next round, it’s not just ETH that will soar; it will also be a time for earning from ETH-related Alpha.
