šØ#Ethereum Hits $4,300, Parabolic Run Next or Pullback Ahead?šØ
$ETH just ripped to $4,300. Is it too late to buy?
Iāve broken down price targets, key levels, ETF flows, and the ETH-linked alts most likely to move next.
Hereās my full game plan for ETH, altseason, and the key playsš§µš
1/x $ETH is in its strongest uptrend vs $BTC since 2021.
We havenāt even touched the $4,850 ATH yet.
The question is: do we goĀ parabolicĀ now, or get a healthy pullback before the real breakout?
Letās map both scenarios.
2/x Ethereumās rally to $4,300 has opened the door for much higher prices into year-end.
If #Bitcoin pushes toward $150K and ETH/BTC climbs to 0.044, $ETH could hit $6,000ā$7,000 this year. My conservative target? $6,600.
Iām positioning to capture that upside while protecting against a pullback.
3/x My trading setup:
Swing bot range:Ā $3,350-$4,850
š¹$3,350 - key higher low from July & uptrend support
š¹$4,850 - previous ATH
The bot buys dips, sells rips, and accumulates without you needing perfect timing.
4/x Institutional flows are flipping bullish for $ETH.
In July, ETFs + treasuries held 7.1M ETH (~$24B).
Today, thatās $33B. On Aug 8th, ETH ETFs saw $460M inflows, more than BTCās $400M that day.
5/x ETHās smaller market cap means each institutional $ hasĀ moreĀ price impact than BTC.
I see $3,350 as the floor unless $BTC itself dumps hard.
The real battle: clearing $4,850. If that happens in Q4, $6K+ is in play fast
6/x $BTC dominance tells us altseason isĀ startingĀ but not confirmed.
We dipped from 60.5% to 59.7%, the first sign of a possible downtrend since 2021.
Confirmation = weekly close < 60.5% & lower high under 62.5%.
Until then, patience is key.
7/x The $ETH linked alts Iām watching:
Core DeFi:
šø $UNI - flagship AMM, still flat.
šø $LINK - essential oracle, still cheap.
šø $CRV - stable swap king.
šø $COMP - OG lending market.
New DeFi:
šø $AERO - up 40% last week.
šø $PENDLE - yield trading for RWAs & stables.
šø $ENS - pure $ETH beta play.
šø $HOME - on-chain DeFi super app.
8/x I'm still avoiding most layer 2s & restaking
Adoption isnāt there yet. Institutions stick to #Ethereum mainnet and fork proven protocols.
A great example is World Liberty Financial forking Aave for its own lending & stablecoin platform.
9/x Stablecoins are ETHās stealth bullish driver. Nearly all USDC/USDT supply sits on ETH.
Beyond those, Iām watching three plays:
šøUSD1 (World Liberty Financial)Ā - Targets treasuries & sovereign funds. One deal could send supply from $2B ā $100B.
šø @PlasmaFDN Ā &Ā @stable Ā - Tether founderābacked chains with USDT as native gas. Gasless transfers, big Bitfinex support.
While valuations arenāt public yet, these have far greater upside than smaller-scale DeFi-native stables like USDE or DAI.
10/x The World Liberty ecosystem offers multiple ways to gain exposure:
šø $WLFI - governance token (TGE soon)
šø $BLOCK - led by WLFIās CIO
šø $DOLO - founded by WLFIās CTO
šø $ALTS stock - NASDAQ-listed, holds 7.5% of WLFI supply.
12/x So what is my game plan?
š¹Hold $ETH above $3,350 support.
š¹Focus on ETH-beta DeFi & stablecoin plays.
š¹Rotate into alts that have lagged when #Bitcoin dominance confirms breakdown.
š¹Stay patient, Q4 is when the big moves likely hit.
13/x $ETH is leading now. If BTC.D breaks down, altseason will follow.
Until then, hold strength, accumulate dips, and let institutions do the heavy lifting.
