Ethereum on Track: New All-Time Highs Expected by 2025

The crypto market continues to be dynamic and promising for Ethereum, according to analysts. While Bitcoin recently reached the mark of 100,000 US dollars, Ether has so far remained under the threshold of 4,000 US dollars. However, market movements suggest that Ethereum has the potential to catch up and benefit from Bitcoin's recent gains. Experts from Bybit and Block Scholes point out that the current deleveraging phase indicates a clearing of speculative long positions, which could position Ethereum well for a price increase in spring 2025. In recent months, Ether prices have stagnated compared to Bitcoin, which rose by over 54 percent, while Ether only increased by 12 percent. Breaking through the resistance level of 4,100 US dollars is considered a crucial point for future growth in Ethereum. If this breakthrough succeeds, a price level of 4,865 US dollars could be targeted next. Optimistic estimates mention possible prices of up to 8,800 US dollars if the upward trend continues. Another significant influencing factor is Ethereum's correlation with Bitcoin's halving cycle. Traditionally, Ethereum lags about eight months behind after a Bitcoin halving before gaining momentum. Market analysts see this as an opportunity for Ethereum to soon surpass Bitcoin and even realize an increase of 700 percent in relation to Bitcoin. The growing interest in Ethereum is also highlighted by the daily opening of over 130,000 new wallets in December—a peak within eight months. Despite these positive signs, some, like the company VanEck, remain conservative in their forecasts, seeing Ether at a maximum of 6,000 US dollars and Bitcoin at 180,000 US dollars in 2025. Additional strength is evident in Ethereum in the area of derivatives markets, which could support further growth. With the ongoing interest from both private and institutional investors, Ethereum is expected to play a significant role in the upcoming crypto market cycle and possibly reach new milestones by the end of the first quarter of 2025.
