Could ETH Be Kicking Off Its Next Journey to All-Time Highs?
Satoshi Flipper – another prominent cryptocurrency analyst on Twitter – explained in a recent tweet that the crypto’s weekly chart shows just how far it could run in the future, further adding that he does believe it will set fresh all-time highs in the future.“Need to look at the ETH WEEKLY to fully appreciate where we are in the cycle.

If Ethereum does garner the type of short-term momentum that Galaxy is anticipating it to see, then it truly could be in the early stages of the next parabolic uptrend that sends it to fresh all-time highs.
