Ethereum Foundation Launches Pectra Tesnet 'Mekong', ETH Price Set For $4000

Ethereum Foundation on Thursday announced launch of its first short-lived Pectra testnet ‘Mekong.’ This testnet includes all the EIPs proposed for the upcoming Pectra upgrade on the Ethereum network. Will this trigger ETH price rally to $4000 as the price jumped 8% in the last 24 hours?

Ethereum Foundation Introduces Mekong Tesnet for Pectra

In an official announcement by Ethereum Foundation on November 7, the first short-lived Mekong testnet was introduced after scoping the Pectra fork and four DevNet events

The foundation said the Mekong testnet consists of all the EIPs proposed for the next major Pectra upgrade. It includes changes such as UX changes via EIP-7702, staking changes via EIP-7251, changes to the deposits and exit mechanisms via EIP-6110 and EIP-7002.

The Mekong testnet is focused on wallet developers to engage with UX changes and for stakers to gain confidence in the upcoming changes. This is a short-lived testnet but the features included will make it into existing public testnets and finally the mainnet.

In addition, Ethereum developer Tim Beiko reveals ethPandaOps has introduced this short-lived Pectra testnet Mekong to introduce major changes in mainnet. Also, this helps the crypto community try out EIP-7702, MaxEB consolidations, and more.

Moreover, Ethereum Foundation developer Parithosh recommended wallet teams to try Mekong testnet at the DevCon Week, which will run the entire week of November 9-17.

ETH Price to Hit $4000

Bullish sentiment surrounding Donald Trump’s win and DevCon event has triggered the rally. Moreover, the launch of the Mekong testnet to fuel ETH price further. Notably, analyst Benjamin Cowen predicted Ethereum price rally after a bottom formation confirmation in the ETH/BTC pair above the 50 DMA.

Popular analysts Michael van de Poppe and Ali Martinez said Ethereum is in the early bull run stage. With the Pectra upgrade expected to take place in early 2025, whales are likely to buy the dip. Michael van de Poppe suggested that the markets are rotating and ETH will see a massive pump. Notably, a higher-low formation will bring much-awaited upward momentum.

Also, Ali Martinez added that MVRV Momentum crossing its 180-day has historically signaled a period of outperformance for ETH price. The cross hasn’t happened yet and gives an opportunity to buy the dip for more upside ahead for the $4000 psychological level.

ETH price today jumped 8% to a 3-month high, with the price currently trading at $2,800. The 24-hour low and high are $2,611 and $2,878, respectively. However, the trading volume has decreased by 6% over the last day.
