While the current parabolic Bitcoin rally has caused the altcoin market to bleed out, many of the large cap crypto such as Ethereum recently bounced at long-term support, and are expected to rally significantly in the coming days as Bitcoin consolidates.
Crypto investors across the market are particularly bullish on Ethereum, which has been underperforming in recent weeks compared to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Targets of $300 or more to the upside are expected for the cryptocurrency created by Vitalik Buterin.

Some of the highest targets being shared are from prominent TradingView crypto analyst Jacob Canfield, who has spotted a fractal in Etheruem price charts that suggest that the price per ETH could skyrocket to $540, which would bring the cryptocurrency to the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level.

ETH/BTC also looks set to perform, with upside targets of 0.04 and 0.06 on the ratio expected, according to crypto trader GalaxyBTC. ETH/BTC bounced at long-term support at 0.025 and has already climbed above 0.029 and is flirting with a break of 0.03.

Past comparisons show that Ethereum and Bitcoin have slightly different ascent patterns, with Ethereum spiking strongly upward while Bitcoin shows more of a parabolic curve. Prior to the last bull run, Ethereum painted a pattern very similar to current price action. If history repeats itself, Etheruem will rise significantly in the coming days.

Ethereum was a major catalyst in helping cryptocurrencies enter the public limelight, and was a significant influence on the ICO craze that brought investors unheard of riches and returns.
