Latest insights on Ethereum’s developments

Ethereum recently fell from $2,800 to the level around $2,500, influenced in part by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. For now, this limits the impact of increased geopolitical tensions and keeps the price nicely within the sideways range between $2,800 and $2,400.

Below is the price chart since September 2024 including the strong rebound following Donald Trump's election victory and further the sharp decline to $1,500 and finally the indicated rise to $2,800.

In May 2025, the Pectra upgrade was performed on the Ethereum network. A Pectra upgrade is a technical update that makes changes to how the network operates, with the goal of improved performance, scalability and usability.

An important part of this upgrade is the increase in the maximum amount of ETH stacked per validator, from 32 to 2,048 ETH. This makes the network more efficient and allows larger validators to operate with less overhead. In addition to this change, the upgrade contributes to faster and cheaper transactions and strengthens Ethereum's position as an infrastructure for stablecoins, DeFi, NFTs, and tokenized assets.

Moreover, academic publications indicate that technologies such as ZK-Rollups (zero-knowledge rollups) can increase transaction speeds from around 12 to 70 transactions per second. This helps further scale the Ethereum ecosystem without sacrificing security or decentralization.

Nearly half of all stablecoins run on Ethereum, especially USDC, making the network more attractive to institutional players. Circle's IPO and the predicted stablecoin regulatory environment support this. Major players like BlackRock and Fidelity are issuing tokenized money-market funds on Ethereum, bringing additional confidence and capital to the system.

The U.S. Senate is working on legislation around stablecoins, and the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) would provide more clarity on who oversees (SEC vs. CFTC), which could accelerate institutional adoption.

What is the expectation of Ethereum's price according to international analysts?

Both fundamental-minded analysts and technical analysts are mostly positive about Ethereum's future price performance.
They see the already mentioned Pectra upgrade as the basis for a new wave of adoption and therefore compare it to the earlier Merge. That adoption by large traditional financial institutions is also seen as very positive. The technical analysts are all waiting for the breakout above $2,800 after which their price target ranges from $3,000 to $4,100.

What is our expectation of Ethereum's price?

The most likely scenario, according to our algorithmic system follows the international analysts. The fundamental conditions within Ethereum are positive. Our system waits with a buy consideration until a close above $2,900. As long as the price moves sideways between
$2,900 and $2,400, the desired position is neutral. Below is the chart from November 2024 with the forecast for Ethereum.

Conclusion

Ethereum is in transition with a positive outlook. The price has been moving sideways for a month. This is a neutral zone. At a close above $2,900, our algorithm expects a rapid upward move to the $3,800 - $4,000 zone. You may consider taking a buy position at close above $2,900. Stoploss below $2,400.
