Ethereum has officially broken the $4,000 mark for the first time since March. This milestone is not just a price movement—it’s a signal. With Ethereum up 65% over the past three months, the market is buzzing.
But the real question is: Could a new all-time high (ATH) be coming next?
Ethereum Back to $4,000
On December 5, Ethereum’s price surged to $3,800 and briefly topped $4,000. The momentum is undeniable. Alongside the price jump, Ethereum’s Realized Cap hit a new all-time high of $243.45 billion, per Glassnode data.
This increase is more than just a number—it shows that Ethereum is being priced higher, a sign of growing confidence in the market.
Add to that a record $428.5 million pouring into Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and it’s clear: Investors are betting big on ETH.
 
But there’s more going on than just price action. Ethereum’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Long/Short Difference has flipped positive.
Currently, at 5.67%, this shift indicates that long-term holders are now in profit—another bullish sign. When this happened before, Ethereum surged past $4,000, and it could be on track to do so again.
Ethereum’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) also mirrors the upward momentum seen earlier this year when ETH hit yearly highs. Ethereum could push past $4,200 if this momentum continues, with some analysts predicting a potential rise to $4,500.
What’s Next for ETH?
The big question now is how high Ethereum can go. Analysts are eyeing $4,200 as the next key target, but there’s potential for even more if buying pressure remains strong.
On the other hand, if this pressure fades, Ethereum could slip back below $3,500. This delicate balance could go either way in the short term.
Despite Ethereum’s recent rally, many believe ETH is still undervalued. The $428.5 million in ETF inflows indicates that institutional interest is growing, which could drive even more upward momentum.
Ethereum’s Realized Cap is also a strong sign of bullish sentiment—one that could signal a sustained rise.
With strong market data and increasing investor confidence, Ethereum seems poised for more growth. The $4,000 mark is impressive, but it could just be the beginning. Keep an eye on ETH—it might be headed for an ATH.
