  • ETH just broke above the $2,600 target zone.
  • This move led to ETH claiming its liquidity target.
  • The next target for ETH lies between $2,800 and $3,000.

The crypto community keeps high hopes alive for crypto asset prices to surge as we head closer to Q4 of 2026. At the moment, the price of BTC has dipped slightly to trade in the $84,000 price range. Despite this, sentiment remains bullish, especially for altcoin prices. To highlight, ETH just broke above the $2,600 target zone, claiming liquidity target. The next stop for ETH is expected to take its price between $2,800 and $3,000. 

ETH Just Broke Above the $2,600 Target Zone 

In the last 24 hours, CoinMarketCap analytics mark that BTC is down by 1.79%, meaning that the price of Bitcoin went from the $86,000 price range to where it is trading now in the $84,000 price range. Along the same line, the price of BTC saw a minor dip of 1.75% as well in the last 24 hours. In detail, the price of ETH went from $2,740 to $2,690, where ETH price sits at the moment. 

Expectations for the price of ETH to flourish this year were high, considering the previous bull cycle missed an altseason. Specifically, the price of BTC saw a spectacular run in the previous bull cycle, where it went from the $60,000 price range and ran as far as the $126,000 ATH target, setting up a string of impressive bullish targets. In contrast, the price of ETH only went from $4,800 to $4,900.

What’s more, despite the fact that several promising altcoins were printing multi-year long bullish indicators across their respective price charts, only a handful of altcoins went on to set new ATHs in the previous bull cycle. In comparison to Bitcoin’s surge during the same period, the altcoin pumps were disappointing. Thus, analysts believe that the missed altseason was instead delayed and may play out this year.

Next Stop for ETH Lies Between $2,800 and $3,000

This is why analysts and traders are patiently waiting for the price of ETH to surge and reclaim prices above $4,000. Many experts believe that once ETH breaks above $5,000, the long-awaited altseason can finally play out. With all the bullish indicators still flaring in most altcoin price charts, it is likely that many altcoin assets will set new ATHs alongside ETH in the coming months.

As we can see from the post above, this expert sheds light on how ETH just broke above the $2,600 target zone, meaning the setup is playing out perfectly. So far, ETH has reclaimed a key level and taken the liquidity target hit with a $2,600 target breakout. With ETH now having pushed above the entire $2,500 - $2,600 liquidity zone, the next major area the analyst is watching is around $2,800 - $3,000.
