Ethereum’s recent breakout above the $4,000 level has triggered a wave of bullish sentiment, with prominent crypto analyst Miles Deutscher suggesting the move signals the start of a powerful new uptrend. In an August 10 video titled “My End Of 2025 ETH Price Prediction (Using AI) You’re Not Bullish Enough!”, Deutscher described Ethereum’s daily and weekly closes above this key resistance as confirmation of a structurally stronger advance toward new all-time highs. Notably, ETH hasn’t achieved a weekly close above this zone since November 2021.
“This is confirmation for a much bigger run,” Deutscher explained, adding that the technical breakout has shifted market structure decisively in the bulls’ favor.
Eyeing the Next Targets
The central question in Deutscher’s analysis was simple: how high can Ethereum go? His initial “eye test” suggests ETH could push into the $6,000–$8,000 range, effectively “playing catch-up” after lagging other top crypto assets that have already reached fresh highs.
While he floated $7,000 as a reasonable directional target, Deutscher also incorporated AI-based modeling to refine the probabilities. Running two large language models with the same market data, he sought odds for ETH reaching specific price milestones by the end of 2025 and 2026.
According to the first model’s 2025 forecast:
- 75% chance to revisit the prior high near $4,700
- 60% chance to break $5,000
- 30% chance to reach $6,000
- Around 8% chance to hit $7,500
- 1% chance to touch $10,000 this year
Extending the outlook to the end of 2026 improved the odds significantly, with a 40% probability of $7,500 and even an 18% chance of $10,000 or more.
The second model, Grok, painted a far more aggressive picture, placing Ethereum’s base case around $10,000 and suggesting a plausible cycle-top range between $8,000 and $15,000.
Key Technical Levels
Both Deutscher and Grok highlighted crucial support and resistance markers. Grok’s bullish scenario holds as long as ETH remains above $3,800, with a breakout over $4,800 signaling the start of price discovery. Deutscher’s invalidation point is slightly tighter: a drop below roughly $3,400, the level of his “money noodle” indicator would weaken the bullish structure in the short term.
“As long as we maintain above $4,000, we are in the pursuit of that prior all-time high,” he emphasized.
Why Deutscher Is Bullish on ETH
Deutscher’s optimistic outlook rests on a mix of technical signals, market structure, and macro factors that he believes now favor Ethereum more than in previous cycles.
First, ETF inflows have been strong, with around $17 billion entering crypto ETFs over the past 60 days $11 billion of that in July alone. Ethereum-focused products are seeing particular momentum, which he expects to accelerate as retirement accounts gain access to crypto.
Second, recent US legislation, such as the GENIUS Act, has clarified rules for certain digital assets and regulated stablecoins, paving the way for institutional adoption of tokenization and DeFi. Since Ethereum is the leading blockchain for both, Deutscher views it as “the number one proxy for anyone looking to get exposure to this narrative.”
Other bullish indicators include stablecoin supply hitting new highs, ETH’s resilience to sell-offs, and a potential shift in Bitcoin dominance, historically a sign that altcoins, led by Ethereum, could outperform.
The Road Ahead
Deutscher doesn’t expect a straight-line move to new highs. Instead, he anticipates a cycle of rotations: Bitcoin strength, an Ethereum catch-up, followed by higher-beta altcoin rallies. He even predicts a second major leg of the cycle extending into 2026, aligning with political and monetary events.
Still, his bias remains bullish. “This would be hard momentum to slow down in the short to mid-term,” he said, adding that the real “FOMO” phase will likely begin once Ethereum clears its $4,800 all-time high and enters price discovery.
