Arthur Azizov, founder and investor at B2 Ventures , said in a note to Benzinga that Ethereum's outlook remained positive with a clear "bullish bias." "I believe that either this year or next, we could see ETH reach $6,000," Azizov predicted. "For now, the key is to hold the $3,350 level." The bullish bias was echoed by widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez , who predicted ETH’s rise to $5,241 now that it has overcome the $4,300 barrier.
