Ethereum Price Forecast & 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 $470.3 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 $35.8 billion.

Ethereum’s Crypto Trading Volume Soars

The 24-hour trading volume of Ethereum is $35.8 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).

Important 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’ Effect 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 16, 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: ETH Eyes $15,000

Kaleo, a popular crypto influencer and analyst, forecasts that the next stop for Ethereum price is $15,000. The thesis showcases an up-sloping trend line that connects the previous all-time highs formed during 2018 and 2022. Based on this prediction, the next target for ETH is $15,000.

This prediction aligns with the positive sentiment around ETH’s potential for growth, as indicated by various market analyses and social media discussions.

While the big picture scenario looks bullish, the short-term outlook is another thing. The 12-hour chart shows Ethereum price is at a make-or-break scenario. A strong surge of buying pressure that pushes ETH to produce a higher high above $4,087 will indicate a continuation of the uptrend.

On the other hand, if ETH bulls fail to defend, leading to a breakdown of $3,701 support level, would produce a lower low and invalidate the bullish thesis. This development would shift the bull market structure to bearish and attract selling pressure. 

In such a case, Ethereum price could trigger a near-20% crash to $3,161.
