Too little corroboration in the last 3 days to call a trend (17 articles). Watching for it to gain traction.
Mainstream financial press is carrying this — attention has broadened beyond specialist outlets.
"Amazon went from $6 to $241 after AWS scaled. Nvidia went from $1 to $197 after ChatGPT arrived. JPMorgan went from $58 to $334 after becoming a truly global bank. Each took years of sideways price action before the addressable market expanded enough to move the stock. Lee said ETH at $1,800 sits in that same window."
"Lee considers the current pessimism among retail investors a mistake, describing the mass sell-offs as 'rage quitting at the bottom.' According to the analyst, Ethereum's current position is comparable to Amazon's early years, when temporary stagnation on the chart concealed the potential for future multi-fold growth."
"Trader Pentoshi said ETH is the most interesting major at current prices, pointing to three converging setups. On the ETH/BTC pair, price sits just under resistance where the previous lower low formed. Meanwhile, on the ETH/SOL pair, ETH has been in a slow uptrend for the past year. On the USD pair, price is not far above multi-year support."
"Long-range value calculations for Ethereum usually land between $8,000 and $20,000 by the year 2030, depending on user trends, better handling speeds, and participation from big firms.

"Kendrick compared Ethereum’s current weakness to Amazon’s experience during the collapse of the dot-com bubble, arguing that token prices do not always move in line with underlying network progress."
"Ethereum trades near $1,980 after falling 12.6% through May while ETH ETF outflows hit $401 million. Whales added $2 billion in ETH during the dip according to Santiment."
"When more people use the Ethereum network, demand for ETH typically goes up. The decentralized finance (DeFi) boom of 2020–2021 showed just how much network usage can drive prices higher."
"Standard Chartered's Geoffrey Kendrick sees opportunity in buying Ethereum against Bitcoin here, suggesting it's only a matter of time before ETH catches up to improving internal metrics."
