Ethereum Price Outlook

ETH’s year-to-date (YTD) performance continues to increase and currently sits at 75.29%. This recent slump in Bitcoin price has affected the YTD gains, which have dropped from 50% since November 11.

Ethereum: The Second-Largest Crypto By Market Cap

Ethereum ranks second in market capitalization, valued at $466.7 billion, after Bitcoin’s $1.95 trillion. Together, BTC & ETH’s market capitalization constitutes 83% of the total crypto market cap.

Since its all-time high of $571 billion in November 2021, Ethereum’s value decreased by half in October, but has spiked recently due to Bitcoin’s new ATH. Still, Ethereum maintains a strong lead over other popular cryptocurrencies:
  • Solana (SOL): $109 billion
  • Ripple (XRP): $138 billion
  • BNB (BNB): $104 billion

In addition to a massive market cap, Ethereum’s 24-hour trading volume sits at $47.2 billion.

Ethereum’s Crypto Trading Volume Soars

The 24-hour trading volume of Ethereum is $47.2 billion. Binance is the largest contributor to this trading volume – about 11% is contributed by spot trading and nearly 40% from futures trading. Exchanges like OKX, Bitget, and ByBit follow Binance.

Ethereum’s Proof-of-Stake Technology

The London hard fork is a significant Ethereum blockchain upgrade. It changed the network from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently shared his thoughts on X (formerly Twitter). He explained how Proof-of-Stake (PoS) is more decentralized than Proof-of-Work (PoW).

Notable Upgrades to Ethereum Blockchain

Here are some key upgrades in the past five years that shaped Ethereum as the second-largest crypto by market capitalization.

2024:

  • Cancun-Deneb (“Dencun”): This upgrade aimed to improve Ethereum’s scalability, security, and usability, setting the stage for further enhancements.
2023:
  • Shanghai-Capella (“Shapella”): Enabled the withdrawal of staked Ether (ETH), marking a significant milestone in Ethereum’s transition to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm.
2022:
  • Paris (The Merge): Successfully transitioned Ethereum from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm, reducing energy consumption and increasing security.
  • Bellatrix: Prepared the Ethereum network for The Merge by introducing the necessary PoS consensus logic.
  • Gray Glacier: Delayed the “difficulty bomb” that would have slowed down the network, ensuring a smooth transition to PoS.
2021:
  • Arrow Glacier: Delayed the “difficulty bomb” again, providing more time for the transition to PoS.
  • Altair: Introduced several improvements to the Beacon Chain, including better validator incentives and enhanced security.
  • London: Implemented the highly anticipated EIP-1559, which reformed the transaction fee market, making it more efficient and user-friendly.
  • Berlin: Introduced several protocol upgrades, including improved gas efficiency and enhanced security features.
2020:
  • Beacon Chain genesis: Launched the Beacon Chain, marking the beginning of Ethereum’s transition to PoS.
  • Staking deposit contract deployed: Enabled users to deposit ETH and participate in the PoS consensus algorithm.
  • Muir Glacier: Delayed the “difficulty bomb” to ensure a smooth transition to PoS.

ETH Gas & Its Impact on Ether Prices

The blockchain upgrades Ethereum receives aim to solve the trilemma of blockchain, i.e., balancing decentralization, security, and scalability. The switch to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) enhanced these aspects. Ethereum’s transaction fees (gas fees) plummeted post-upgrade, drawing more investors. Gas fees are like taxes, measured in Gwei, required for secure transactions.

As of October 19, the gas fee for a transaction on the ETH network as of 11 PM is 14 Gwei.

When Ethereum’s on-chain value grows, presenting opportunities, investors flock, driving gas fees up. This typically occurs during market upswings, peaking at all-time highs.

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.
