#ETHBreaks4000 Ethereum broke the $4,000 barrier for the first time since December 2024, driven by increased activity and investor optimism. The surge led to over $24 million in short liquidations and $119 million in short positions erased in the past 24 hours. With 95% of on-chain holders in profit, whales have established a lower baseline price, and ETH is expected to extend its rally. The token rose to $4,012 on Binance, and its dominance returned to 12.1%, boosting hopes of an altcoin season. Analysts predict further gains, with potential targets at $4,500 and $5,000, citing robust user engagement, record transaction volumes, and favorable macroeconomic shifts.
