Ethereum, the largest layer-1 blockchain, has lagged behind other major blockchains like Bitcoin and Solana. It has fallen by 5% over the past 12 months, while Bitcoin and Solana have surged by over 70%.

Ethereum has also lost market share in several sectors, including decentralized finance, meme coins, and non-fungible tokens. This trend has impacted many Ethereum-based tokens, which have underperformed as investors shift their focus to assets within the Solana ecosystem.
Ethereum is likely to surge to $4,000, as the coin has formed an ascending triangle pattern on the two-week chart. This pattern is characterized by a horizontal resistance level and a diagonal trendline composed of higher highs and higher lows.
A strong bullish breakout will be confirmed if Ethereum surpasses the $4,000 resistance level. A sustained breakout above this price could increase the likelihood of Ether reaching $5,000 in the long term.
