With Ethereum now at more than a decade and its price going up, traders and analysts worldwide are weighing in on where the second-largest cryptocurrency is headed next.
Local Traders Predict ETH Price Course
As the year reaches at its last quarter, the cryptocurrency is at the center of market speculation, with local traders and analysts theorizing its short and long-term trajectory.
In an interview with BitPinas in August, certified technical analyst Myles Tan, GCrypto Head Luis Buenaventura, and James Genove, also known as the Resistance Trader, project moderately bullish conditions through the end of 2025, with a base forecast ranging between $5,200 and $7,800.
“ETH’s got serious momentum, but we’re at a crossroads. Smooth sailing = $6K+ potential. Turbulence = $3.5K–$4K fallback.”

Bullish Outlook
In a bullish case, Tan said continued inflows into ETH exchange-traded funds (ETFs), a successful rollout of the Fusaka upgrade, and favorable global regulations could push the cryptocurrency to between $6,000 and $7,800.
According to him, from a technical perspective, weekly charts are showing strong upward momentum, with the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator trending bullish and the Relative Strength Index in overbought territory.
He identified resistance levels at $5,586, $6,093, and $6,822, and support levels at $4,615, $3,851, and $3,256.
Buenaventura similarly forecasts ETH reaching $6,000 to $7,000 this year, driven by fresh capital inflows into ETFs. He expects this to prompt profit-taking by holders from the previous cycle, which could spark a rotation of bets into smaller altcoins.
“What’s interesting about this prediction is that it’s a very common view shared by many industry folks, so it’s likely that there will be a lot of front-running in various categories over the next 2 months, as some traders will try to take positions ahead of the pack.”

Genove predicts ETH could end 2025 between $5,200 and $7,500, supported spot ETH ETFs, growing adoption of L2 scaling solutions such as Arbitrum and Optimism, expansion of real-world asset tokenization, and continued decentralized finance growth.
“From a technical standpoint, ETH recently broke above the $4,193 Fibonacci 1.618 extension, signaling potential continuation toward $4,500–$5,000. If momentum sustains, the next major Fibonacci extension (2.618) could align with the $6,000–$7,500 zone.”
James Genove, also known as The Resistance Trader
He added that ETH could climb to $10,000 within the cycle if bullish factors align, such as ETF inflows matching Bitcoin’s post-ETF rally, a breakout above the 2.618 Fibonacci extension, an ETH/BTC ratio recovery to 0.088, a drop in Bitcoin dominance below 60% sparking an altcoin rally, and supportive macro conditions. A break above $4,800 could also extend gains beyond $5,000 toward higher targets.
Bearish Possibility
On the other hand, they also offered perspective for a bearish scenario.
Tan warned that a major security breach, regulatory crackdown, or geopolitical crisis could bring prices down to the $3,500 to $4,000 range.
For Genove, he warned that ETH could fall to between $1,500 and $2,800 if bearish conditions take hold. Key risks include failure to hold Fibonacci supports at $2,503 (0.5 level) and $2,125 (0.618 level), large-scale sell-offs by major holders, such as the recent $100 million sale by Arthur Hayes, regulatory setbacks including ETF delays or staking restrictions, and macroeconomic pressures from global liquidity tightening or recession fears.
“If ETH breaks below the $2,500 support, it risks invalidating the current bullish wave count and revisiting deeper retracement zones… Note that this is for this cycle not the Bear run overall once the 500 days post halving finishes.”
James Genove, also known as The Resistance Trader
Current Ethereum Value
As of writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,674.83 (₱271,716), marking a 9.1% increase over the past month.
However, the token has declined by 5.4% since hitting its new all-time high of $4,946.05 on August 24, 2025.
International and Platform End of 2025 Projections
$4,000 to $4,500 Range
In an August analysis by Steve Taylor, he noted that ETH could reach a maximum of $4,942.24 in December, with a potential low of $2,773.13 and an average trading value of $3,857.69. The forecast suggests that after potential volatility in the fall, year-end momentum could lift ETH close to the $5,000 threshold.
However, new data published on October 7, 2025 predicts that Ethereum will maintain steady growth through the end of the year, with prices expected to trade between $4,082 and $4,554 in December. Analysts see the token averaging around $4,318 by year-end, reflecting a potential return of 15.9%.
$4,700 to $5,000 Range
According to the forecast of CoinDCX, ETH could potentially break past resistance at $4,500, with a path toward $4,750–$4,900 by year’s end and the possibility of reaching $5,000 if momentum sustains.
In late Q3, Kraken’s price prediction tool stated that ETH is projected to reach $4,736.66 by the end of 2025, based on a forecast assuming a steady 5% annual growth rate. The same projection estimates ETH could rise to $5,911.85 by 2030 and $9,629.78 by 2040.
According to a report from Mitrade, ETH’s rapid 50% gain over the past month has positioned the cryptocurrency to potentially hit the $5,000 mark before the end of 2025, citing market insights platform Grok.
$6,000 to $7,000 Mark
According to an October 5 analysis by Valdrin Tahiri for BeInCrypto, ETH could reach a cycle high between $6,000 and $7,000 before the end of 2025, based on two key on-chain valuation models; the Block Subsidy Model and the MVRV Pricing Bands.
The report noted that the Block Subsidy Model, which compares ETH’s market price to its production cost, projects a cycle top near $7,000, while the MVRV model, which measures investor profit and loss extremes, suggests a slightly lower peak around $6,000.
Both models indicate that ETH’s current market cycle is showing diminishing returns compared to previous ones, reflecting a maturing asset class and more stable market dynamics. If the pattern holds, the asset is expected to close out 2025 within this range, signaling a tempered but still bullish outlook for the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency.
Above $7,500
In an article on Brave New Coin website, analysts noted that Ethereum is breaking out of a cup-and-handle pattern, signaling a potential rally toward $7,500 by late 2025.
The prediction stated that the bullish setup is reinforced by over $1.3 billion in ETF inflows, a Golden Cross formation, and strong whale accumulation. On-chain data also shows long-term holders are increasing positions, while institutional demand continues to rise. Analysts see a base target of $7,500, with upside potential to $10,000–$12,000 if ETF momentum and the Fusaka upgrade sustain growth.
Up to $8,000 Range
Ethereum’s rally has reinforced bullish projections for the rest of 2025, Analyst Ali Martinez forecasts a short-term climb toward $5,241, with longer-term technical indicators suggesting a potential range of $6,000 to $8,000 before year-end.
The optimistic outlook is driven by a breakout from a long-term symmetrical triangle and strong institutional demand.
$10,000
In an X post, crypto trader Henry (@LordOfAlts) says ETH could be “the stealth trade of the year as it lags 15% below its 2021 all-time high while Bitcoin has already set new records in 2025.”
He projects ETH could climb to $10,000, supported by strong institutional interest and historical price patterns showing consolidation followed by upward surges. Henry also forecasts that Bitcoin could reach $150,000 before the year ends.
