Ethereum price prepares for breakout 

Ethereum price has posted double-digit gains as investors turn bullish on the altcoin. A Bloomberg analyst believes Ethereum is currently undervalued. Jamie Coutts, a crypto market analyst at Bloomberg, believes Ethereum is yet to fulfill its potential. 

Coutts has predicted a 100% price rally in Ethereum. The analyst believes Ethereum has a “unique blend of equity, commodity and monetary characteristics.” The analyst argues Ethereum price could climb to $6,128. 

Justin Bennett, a crypto analyst and trader, believes the turnaround in Ethereum price arrived two weeks ago when the altcoin witnessed a trend reversal. 

Post the arrival of the merge on the testnet; the Ethereum community is awaiting the upgrade on the mainnet. Proponents believe the merge would have bullish implications for Ethereum price. The possibility of earning returns on staked Ethereum has attracted investors to the altcoin, while the merge promises to reduce energy consumption by 99.95%.

Institutional capital inflow in the altcoin has increased systematically, ahead of the reduction in energy consumption. Alongside the energy reduction, there is a considerable impact on the altcoin’s circulating supply as the net issuance witnesses a significant drop.  

FXStreet analysts believe Ethereum price could rise to $3,500 over the weekend as the altcoin continues its uptrend. Analysts have noted bullish momentum in the altcoin.
