Crypto analyst DonAlt is adopting a HODL strategy for Ethereum after ETH broke above the prolonged $2,300-$2,700 range, which now functions as support. He built a large long position at $1,878 in mid-August 2026, prioritizing market exposure over waiting for a confirmed breakout or precise bottom. DonAlt previously forecast XRP’s rise from $0.50-$0.70 to about $3.50-$3.66 during the 2024-2025 cycle, although the token did not reach his $6.90 macro target before reversing sharply. His current ETH plan reflects that experience: while his long-term outlook is around $10,000 and the chart target is near $4,000, he intends to take profits on most of the position at $3,000.
