© Reuters. Bitcoin ‘Beasted’ In January, Now Analyst Says Ethereum Is Set To Lead Crypto Market In March
Benzinga – Chris Burniske, the former Blockchain Products lead at the Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest, says Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) is moving towards a bullish market in March.
Burniske tweeted that ETH looks strong despite the recent market-wide tumult.
“From where I sit, I’m surprised crypto hasn’t pulled back more given weakness in equities, and upward repricing in rates – bullish,” Burniske said in the Tweet.
To those saying some version of “just wait,” sure we could pull back a bit more, but calls for new lows anytime soon are silly. Pullbacks are consolidation within the current uptrend, imo.

Burniske mentioned that an incoming upgrade for ETH, also known as Ethereum Improvement Proposal 4895 (EIP-4895), could act as a bullish catalyst for the leading smart contract protocol.
A guess:
-January $BTC beasted, led the rest
-February we mostly consolidated
-March $ETH beasts, leads the rest with Shanghai upgrade driving ETH staking flows

The proposed upgrade allows users with staked ETH to withdraw their assets. The update is slated for release in March.
