However, there\u2019s still one major hurdle in its way.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"path-to-4-6k\">Path to $4.6K<\/h2>\n<p>Ali Martinez outlined in a recent post that ETH stood at around $1,700 back in March 2021, as it does now. That means that a \u201c$10,000 investment made five years ago would still be worth approximately $10,000 today.\u201d The altcoin managed to chart a couple of all-time highs in the following years, but has returned to the same level, as it\u2019s down by a whopping 65% since its last record seen in 2025.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cDespite five years of severe volatility, explosive bull runs, and deep bear-market liquidations, ETH has posted zero net gains from that baseline,\u201d added Martinez.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Furthermore, he doubled down on previous predictions that ETH might not have bottomed during this cycle. Although he previously <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/btc-vs-eth-vs-xrp-which-is-closest-to-a-major-reversal-analyst-explains\/\">outlined<\/a> $700 as a potential bottom for the asset, he now said that the $1,060 level stands out as a value zone to watch for such a level. If Ethereum manages to successfully defend that macro support, though, it opens the door for a short-to-mid-term rally to $2,850 or even $4,630, he <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alicharts\/status\/2068197904096055593\" target=\"_blank\">added<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"time-to-buy\">Time to Buy<\/h2>\n<p>Fellow analyst Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe was even more bullish on the asset. Although he didn\u2019t provide precise price targets, he noted that this might be \u201cone of the best times to be buying ETH.\u201d Moreover, he believes investors would wish they had bought more ETH in 5-10 years.<\/p>\n<p>His comments were in response to another analyst, James Easton, who said that people tend to give up \u201cright before the fun part,\u201d and tagged Ethereum\u2019s token.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">I honestly stand by the fact that this is one of the best times to be buying <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/search?q=%24ETH&src=ctag&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">$ETH<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In 5-10 years from now, you\u2019ll be laughing back and say: Gosh, I should have bought more.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s always the asymmetry with those investments.
