Portfolio Pulse from Khyathi Dalal
Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe suggests Ethereum (ETH) is poised for a strong quarter, historically its best, as the Bitcoin (BTC) halving event in April 2024 approaches. He notes that market sentiment has been skewed towards Bitcoin due to the anticipation of spot ETF approvals, but expects Ethereum to gain traction, especially with its transition from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake. The upcoming Dencun network upgrade is also expected to contribute to Ethereum's growth. Bitwise predicts Ethereum's fees will double in 2024, and Glassnode cofounders target a $2.5k to $2.7k price range for ETH.
