Ethereum (ETH) is poised for a significant rally, potentially reaching $10,000 much faster than anticipated, driven by record leveraged shorts and institutional involvement. This move in ETH is expected to precede a broader "mother of all rallies" for other altcoins and memecoins, following the typical crypto cycle of BTC first, then ETH, then large caps, and finally low caps. The current ETH price of $4,320 is seen as just the beginning of this aggressive upward trend.
