What Experts Predict

Analysts are increasingly bullish on Ethereum’s trajectory:

  • Near-term targets: Range between $5,000 to $6,000, supported by ETF momentum and technical strength. (CoinMarketCap, The Block, Cointelegraph, Bitrue, Indiatimes)

  • Mid-to-long-term outlook: Forecasts range between $8,000 to $10,000, especially if broader crypto cycles align and BTC rallies. (Bitrue, Indiatimes)

  • Institutional confidence: Standard Chartered’s updated target of $7,500, framed around accelerating adoption and inflows. (The Block)
