Ethereum is one of the leading cryptocurrencies, powering smart contracts, decentralized finance (DeFi), and many blockchain applications.

My outlook for ETH is cautiously optimistic over the long term, but with significant downside risk. Its next major move will depend on Bitcoin's trend, demand for Ethereum ETFs, network activity, and overall market conditions.

The other ranges above are my illustrative scenarios, not confirmed analyst consensus.

Important levels

• Resistance: $2,700–$2,800. A sustained break above this area could strengthen bullish momentum.

• Support: $2,400–$2,450. Falling below it could increase downside risk.

• Bullish target: $3,000, if buying demand returns.

• Downside risk: ETH could fall below $2,400 if the wider crypto market weakens.

These are approximate technical reference levels, not guaranteed turning points.

My conclusion: ETH could recover toward $3,000 over the coming months, but a drop toward $2,000 remains possible. Avoid using high leverage based on a price prediction alone.

Tell me one thing: Are you looking for an ETH prediction for the next 7 days, 1 month, or 1 year? I can narrow the price targets and graph to that period.
