Ethereum Aim For $15k -$20k

With the recent developments in the ETH ecosystem, well-known crypto analysts  CrediBULL Crypto expects Ethereum to experience a 3 to 4x surge and aims to hit 15 to 20k by the end of 2024. 

This comes amidst the growing assumption that it will follow a similar trendline to that of Bitcoin (BTC) before its exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval hype.

As of now, Ethereum is trading at $3,325 showing a slight increase in the last 24 hours. However, trading volume has dropped by 29% to $14.6 billion, with a market cap at $399 billion.”
