Ether would be consolidated to go for a new historical maximum.
Experts show optimism, but warn about buying at current prices.
Ethher (ETH), the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum Network, is going through one of its best moments, at least for the digital asset market.
This Saturday, August 9, ETH exceeded 4,200 dollars, something that was not registered since 2021 and now aims to break its maximum historical price (AT) of $ 4,891 per unit.
This vertiginous price increase did not go unnoticed by the economist and trader of the Netherlands, Michaël van de Poppe, who commented In the social network X that the cryptocurrency is making a “wild movement”.
However, the analyst warns that buying ETH at these high levels has a considerable risk, suggesting that the market could be overheated after this impulse.
Wild Eth movement. It has reached maximums and is a bit risky to buy ETH at these high prices. He is preparing for a great break towards historical maximums, but I think it is more prudent to assign funds within the eth ecosystem, since it should generate greater performance.

Van de Poppe also identifies a Price range between approximately USD 3,800 and USD 4,000 as a critical resistance area.
If eth manages to consolidate above this level, the analyst suggests that it could be preparing for a break towards new maximumsa scenario that many in the community anticipate by 2025.


On that possibility, the economist considers that “it would not be strange if ETH shoots up to 6,500-8,000 dollars. That seems to be a reasonable price ». While that is a possibility, Van de Poppe does not see her in the short term and explains reason.
«It is unlikely that we continue to rise. 2,000 dollars (90 %) have just risen in less than a month. The short -term risk of buying here exceeds rewards, so I think we will stagnate a little before breaking this area of crucial resistance ».
Another trader that sees a “perfect” mixture of events that would benefit ETH is @ethtrader who in a Post in Reddit He pointed out that the new United States stock and values commission (SEC) is “watching things more closely without being too strict, so this provides more confidence to investors.”
«This will push the price up, everything indicates that this year a new AT will occur. You should see this as a real opportunity for Ethereum to shine ».
As Criptonoticias has recently reported, in the opinion of our market specialist, Martín Arrúa, ETH is suffering a divergence between the price and activity of the network, which will result sooner or later in a “bullish explosion” for the price of cryptocurrency.
The recent rise of the second most valuable cryptocurrency in the market marks a significant milestone, fueling the enthusiasm of investors and analysts equally. Although experts like Van de Poppe warn about the risks of buying at these high levels.
In any case it seems that 2025 is emerging as a key year for Ether, although prudence and strategy will be essential to navigate such a dynamic and volatile market.
