Key factors influencing the price of Ethereum:
Network updates and development:
Ethereum is in a state of constant development.
The transition to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism as part of the "Merge" upgrade and subsequent changes aimed at scaling (such as sharding) make the network more efficient and appealing to users and developers. The successful implementation of these updates directly impacts trust in the project and, consequently, its price.
===========
Decentralized finance (DeFi) and NFTs:
Ethereum is the dominant platform for decentralized applications (dApps), including DeFi protocols and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The demand for these services creates a need for ETH to pay transaction fees (gas fees), which supports its price.
Issuance and burning mechanism: With the implementation of EIP-1559 as part of the "London" upgrade, part of the transaction fees is burned, reducing the overall supply of ETH. During periods of high network activity, this mechanism makes Ethereum a deflationary asset, which has a strong positive effect on its value.
Supply and demand: Significant trading volumes and high market capitalization indicate strong investor interest. Accumulation of ETH by large investors ("whales") and the launch of new ETFs based on Ethereum may also contribute to price growth.

Short-term and long-term analysis
Short-term outlook:
Over the last week, the price of ETH has shown an increase of around 4-5%, but there has been a slight decrease in the last 24 hours.
This indicates short-term volatility, which is normal for the cryptocurrency market. Technical indicators point to a strong bullish trend in the long term, despite temporary pullbacks.

Long-term outlook: Over the past year, the price of Ethereum has increased by nearly 70%, indicating sustainable growth. Considering the development of the ecosystem, the growing popularity of DeFi and NFTs, as well as the gradual resolution of scaling issues, experts predict further price growth for ETH in the coming years. Some forecasts predict that the price may exceed $10,000 by 2025.
