Analyst: Ethereum Still on Track for Move to $260 as Network Activity Spikes

Ethereum has been closely tracking Bitcoin’s price action over the past several days and weeks, and this correlation has persisted when ETH dropped overnight as BTC was met with significant selling pressure within the lower-$9,000 region, which subsequently sent it reeling down to $8,700. Bitcoin’s current bearishness has caused Ethereum to show similarly bearish signs, although one analyst is still holding strong that ETH is on track to surge as high as $260 in the near-term.

As for where this underlying fundamental bullishness could send ETH’s price, one popular cryptocurrency analyst believes that Ethereum is currently on track to visit $260 next. Josh Olszewicz, a well-respected analyst on Twitter, explained that ETH will be “good to go” towards this price target once it breaks above the resistance it currently faces between $188 and $198.

In the near-term, it is probable that Ethereum’s price action will largely be guided by that of Bitcoin, but assuming that BTC finds some stability or even some tempered upwards momentum, then investors may watch ETH post significant gains.
