$3,000 Profit Target as DonAlt Abandons Active ETH Trading for HODL Strategy
DonAlt, a well-known crypto analyst, has announced that he is adopting a HODL strategy for Ethereum ($ETH). He believes the current weekly chart structure gives the asset a clear path higher. According to DonAlt, 'No serious resistance left IMO. I'm just gonna ignore everything and HODL.'
The analyst's decision reflects his past performance, particularly in 2024-2025 when he accurately forecasted XRP's rally from $0.50-$0.70 to around $3.50-$3.66.
DonAlt's current position in Ethereum is a result of lessons learned from the previous cycle. He acknowledges that his highest macro target of $6.90 for XRP was never reached before the coin entered a deep reversal, and he attributes some success to 'giga luck.'
The analyst built most of his ETH position in mid-August 2026, opening a large long at $1,878, near the upper boundary of the $2,000-$2,200 resistance zone. He explained that entering before a confirmed breakout prioritized having market exposure over the risk of trying to find the perfect 'dynamic bottom.'
The current technical analysis of the ETH/USD weekly chart points to a trend reversal. The price has successfully broken through the prolonged $2,300-$2,700 range, which now serves as a key support zone.
DonAlt plans to take profits on most of his position at $3,000, a decision shaped by the profits he missed on XRP.
