Crypto analysts are predicting a surge in the price of Ethereum (ETH) in the coming months. According to a chart shared by pseudonymous trader Bluntz, ETH is expected to experience a brief correction before jumping to nearly $2,400. Bluntz advises investors to take advantage of any dips in price below $1,720 to accumulate more ETH. Fellow trader Credible Crypto shares a similar outlook, stating that ETH is unlikely to drop below $1,500 again.
