ETH Macro analysis and current cycle targets of $16k-20K

I’ve been invested in Ethereum since 2020. Along the way, I took some profits above $4,000 and later rebuilt my position around $1,650. My conviction is rooted in direct experience—after 23 years working in IT, I clearly see both the strengths and limitations of the technology.

What I recognized back in 2020—its dominance, brand recognition, the credibility of its founder, and the trust it commands—is only now becoming clear to the broader market. This is reflected in the growing wave of ETH-based treasury products and institutional adoption.

For me, DeFi was never the main driver. While it has been an important use case, I believe Ethereum’s long-term value will come from its network dominance and trust, which will inevitably extend across multiple industries and verticals.

The logarithmic price chart of ETH since its inception illustrates this well. Historically, each cycle has peaked at roughly 3.4x the previous cycle’s high. If that pattern continues, it aligns with the upper band of the long-term log channel—suggesting potential in the $16K–$20K range during the next cycle.

I don't overthink; I go with what I see and what I know to be the macro trend.
