Analyst sets date when Ethereum will hit $5,700

A trading expert is projecting that Ethereum (ETH) is likely to hit a new record above $5,000, potentially extending to $8,000 in the coming months, citing bullish technical indicators.

This is a segment from the Supply Shock newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Until now, no Bitcoiners have stepped foot on the actual moon, considering Satoshi wouldn’t write the white paper for another 36 years after the last astronaut returned home.
