Ethereum has drawn many comparisons with early Bitcoin, and is expected to grow in value substantially and make for life-changing wealth. Those that missed out on the initial run up are in luck, however, as one crypto analyst says that the recent bullish retest presents a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
Here’s an in-depth look at the bullish retest the analyst is referencing, and what that ultimately could mean for the second ranked cryptocurrency behind Bitcoin for the long run.

Ethereum has been arguably more bullish than Bitcoin itself, driving a higher ROI but still nowhere near former highs on the two crypto asset’s ratio.

Crypto Analyst Claims Those Who Missed Out Initially Get Another Chance
According to one crypto analyst, the bullish retest is another chance for those who missed out on the initial rally. They claim this is a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” for latecomers, although technically it is the second chance after missing the initial run up.
Cryptocurrencies move quickly and violently, especially when a trading range is left behind. Ethereum has been trading between $1,400 and $100 for roughly four years, and just retested the former resistance as support, and held. The important resistance flip into support is now confirmed, and typically markets then move up in a strong way.
