Will Ethereum Hit Five Digits?

According to popular analyst, Michaël van de Poppe, Ethereum price prediction for 2025 includes a target of $15,000 to $25,000 per ETH.

Another analyst Jelle noted that “all bets are off” if Ethereum’s fight with $4,000 ends with it as a support level.

Providing a much more detailed outlook is “venturefounder” who noted Ethereum consolidating between a three-year triangle. A breakout from this triangle could push ETH higher. Venturefounder’s target for Ethereum price is in the next seven years.

Additionally, according to Venturefounder, the base case includes Ethereum price repeating this impulsive breakout it did after between 2016-2017 to shoot to new ATH with a target of $15,937 by May 2025.

All in all, the long-term outlook for Ethereum price remains massively bullish with experts and analysts forecasting a five-digit target for ETH despite the recent crash.
