  • Tom Lee predicts ETH ATH at $15,000 and above.

  • Ethereum network usage activity hits record levels.

  • This is a bullish signal, a move unseen since 2021 bull run.

As the price of the pioneer crypto asset, Bitcoin (BTC), continues to try and reclaim prices above $70,000, the pioneer altcoin asset, Ethereum (ETH), also struggles to claim prices higher than the initial $2,000 price range. Amidst a tug of war of bear and bull predictions from reputed analysts, Tom Lee predicts ETH ATH at $15,000 as Ethereum activity hits record high levels.

Tom Lee Predicts ETH ATH at $15,000

The price rally of the pioneer altcoin asset, Ethereum (ETH), was not even close to the might of Bitcoin this bull cycle. To highlight, the price of Bitcoin went from setting new ATH prices in the $70,000 price range to its current ATH price in the $126,000 price range within the latest bull cycle. This, indeed, was an impressive feat of price movement for Bitcoin, one that altcoin holders were hoping to see play out for altcoin prices soon.

Initially, when altseason and its peak phase were expected during Bitcoin’s final pump in the latest cycle, Ethereum was expected to pump first among altcoins and lead the charge. But while the price of ETH struggled to break past certain price ranges, a handful of other altcoins went on to set new ATH prices of their own. This led experts to believe that these specific metrics would surge even higher once ETH set a new ATH.

All that bullish anticipation for altseason ended with a sad price drop instead. In detail, the price of ETH pumped from its previous ATH in the $4,800 price range to $4,900, its current ATH price range and then fell drastically, until it collapsed below $2,000. Now, as the asset hopes to surge back over $2,100, the altseason pump phase dream following ETH breaking past $5,000, seems further than ever.

Despite these low sentiments, Bitcoin Immersion’s Tom Lee expresses his continued confidence in the fact that ETH will pump and move towards setting much higher ATH prices. At the moment, the financial expert expects ETH to hit 5-digit prices in the coming months, stating his expectation for ETH to hit an ATH price of $15,000, and even higher. Could this expectation come through this year?
