Between 2023 and 2050, Ethereum’s price will most likely follow the bullish outlook and aim for the six-digit territory. The lowest price point is $16,092.58, and the highest price of Ether is $145,915.83.
Ethereum Price Analysis: Predicting Next ATH Target for ETH
Ethereum price shows that its 2024’s lackluster performance ended on November 20. Since this point, ETH has shot up nearly 35% and set up a local top at $4,091. Following this uptrend was a 14% correction that formed a local bottom around $3,515. Drawing a trend line connecting the aforementioned swing points shows the formation of an uptrending parallel channel. So far, Ether has tagged twice at the bottom and two at the top and is currently retesting the midpoint of the parallel channel’s midpoint at $3,936 after a 12% rally.
The next target for Ethereum price is the upper limit of the parallel channel at $4,314. From a theoretical standpoint, however, the technical formation should be doubled, which puts the target at $5,274, well above the $4,878 all-time high.
If buyers fail to push Ethereum price higher with Bitcoin collapsing like it did a few days ago then, ETH could reject from the parallel channel’s midpoint and revisit the lower limit at $3,870 support level. A breakdown of this level could send ETH down to $3,000 psychological level.
