$ETH Rally to $4,878 Could Be Bull Trap in 2026, Analyst Warns


Crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen suggests $ETH faces significant headwinds preventing it from reclaiming its $4,878 peak during 2026. The assessment comes as broader market conditions show signs of weakness, particularly in $BTC performance.


Speaking on the Bankless podcast Tuesday, Cowen expressed skepticism about #Ethereum reaching new highs given current market dynamics. He pointed to $BTC potentially entering bear market territory as a primary constraint on $ETH upside potential.


The analyst warned that even if #Ethereum manages to push toward all-time highs, such a move could represent a bull trap rather than sustainable growth. A sharp reversal toward $2,000 could follow any temporary surge past previous peaks, according to his analysis.
