Executive Summary
Current Status: BUYEthereum has demonstrated robust price action in recent weeks, outpacing many of its peers in the cryptocurrency market. Our analysis suggests this movement is primarily a catch-up trade rather than the onset of a broad altcoin season. We anticipate a short-term correction followed by significant long-term appreciation, supported by strong fundamentals and increasing institutional adoption through ETFs.

Long-term Projection
Our long-term price target for Ethereum is approximately $6,000. While this projection is based on fundamental analysis and current market trends, it is subject to the inherent volatility and unpredictability of the cryptocurrency market.
