Ethereum Could Hit $8,600 By 2026 — ‘Stronger’ At $4K Than It Was At Peak, Says Miles Deutscher Amid Record ETF Inflows
Posted On August 13, 2025
Prominent cryptocurrency trader Miles Deutscher projects Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) could reach $8,600 during the 2025-26 bull cycle if current patterns mirror historical runs, with a 61% probability of exceeding $6,000.
Data-Driven Model Shows Strong Upside Potential
Deutscher outlined his analysis on X Tuesday, emphasizing a data-driven approach combined with fundamental factors. The trader cited two key pillars driving Ethereum’s current repricing: programmatic scarcity and institutional validation – both concepts that were theoretical during the previous cycle.
“There is a strong argument at ETH at $4,000 today is fundamentally stronger than it was at its $4,800 peak in 2021,” Deutscher wrote, referencing spot ETFs, 401(k) access, and regulatory clarity for stablecoins and DeFi protocols.
