As the cryptocurrency sector continues struggling to regain its strength, one analyst anticipates an exceptionally bullish future for its second-largest asset by market capitalization – Ethereum (ETH).
Specifically, if historical patterns from 2016-2017 are any indicator, Ethereum could be in for one of the largest bull markets in the history of the crypto industry, according to a tweet published by the pseudonymous crypto analyst Moustache on October 11.

Another indicator of a potential future price hike for Ethereum is its dwindling supply in circulation, which dropped by nearly 4,000 ETH in only two days.
