Ethereum and the aggregated crypto markets have rallied over the past 24-hours, catching the massive upwards tailwind created by Bitcoin\u2019s surge to highs of $8,800. This rally has led ETH to climb into the $150 region as it outperforms BTC and many other major altcoins.<\/p>\n

Over a larger time frame, analysts are noting that Ethereum\u2019s recent bullishness and its ability to establish the $120 region as a potential bottom opens the gates for significantly further gains, which could lead the crypto to surge as much as 80% by May of this year.<\/p>\n

Ethereum Outperforms Bitcoin as Aggregated Crypto Markets Rally<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At the time of writing, Ethereum<\/a> is trading up over 7% at its current price<\/a> of $154, which marks a significant climb from its daily lows of $143 that were set yesterday.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s movement marked an upwards break out of the consolidation phase that ETH has entered last Friday, which subsequently led it to trade sideways around $144 for multiple days.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s surge has allowed ETH to also post some decent gains against Bitcoin, as it is currently trading up just under 2% against its BTC trading pair. Other major altcoins have also seen sizeable gains today, with Bitcoin Cash rallying 22% and Bitcoin SV surging a whopping 90%.<\/p>\n

Some analysts do anticipate Ethereum and Bitcoin to see a sharp pull back in the near-term, which could provide an ideal entry opportunity for sidelined investors.<\/p>\n
