Ether price faces correction before rally to $20K in 2025 — Analysts

Cointime Official

From cointelegraph by Zoltan Vardai

The Ether price could see an imminent correction in the coming weeks before it resumes a sustainable rally to new highs.

Ether ETH$3,512.79 rose over 33% during the past month to trade above $3,368 as of 10:23 am  UTC on Nov. 23, Cointelegraph data shows.

Despite gaining ground, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency could be poised for a price correction once Bitcoin BTC$96,310 breaches the record $100,000 milestone — widely expected to occur before the end of November.

Bitcoin’s next significant drawdown will invite a short-term correction for Ether, according to Gracy Chen, the CEO of Bitget.

Chen told Cointelegraph:

“The market is already oversold, and a healthy correction might occur… Though Ethereum has not shown enough correlation following Bitcoin’s surge, any potential retracement as soon as BTC breaches the $100,000 mark might impact Ethereum.”

The prediction comes as Bitcoin is inching closer to $100,000, unfazed by the $2.6 billion options expiry that occurred a day ago, on Nov. 22.

Ether to $20,000 cycle top in 2025 — Analyst

While a short-term correction may occur before the end of the year, Ether is poised for more long-term momentum in 2025.

Based on emerging technical chart patterns, Ether’s price could reach a cycle top of over $20,000 during the next year, according to popular crypto analyst Wolf.

“Take this with a grain of salt, but the ETH chart is also shaping up as a compressing 3-year triangle consolidation since November 2021,” Wolf wrote in a Nov. 22 X post to his 106,000 followers. “A measured move from the breakout of this massive triangle targets $20,000,” he said.

The ascending triangle pattern, often seen as a bullish indicator, supports Wolf’s prediction of a significant price rally.

Etherem’s utility as leading smart contract platform will catalyze Ether rally in 2025

Ether price has been lagging behind Bitcoin’s price action. Bitcoin’s price rose by over 164% in the past year, while Ether’s only increased by 63%.

However, Ethereum’s dominance as the leading smart contract blockchain will fuel Ether’s rally above its old all-time high.

“[Ethereum] is still the most-used smart contract protocol by volume, with targeted upgrades enhancing its utility,” Chen said. This sets the stage for increased Ether acquisition and positions it to reclaim its all-time high, the Bitget CEO said.

Investors may currently be rotating funds into Bitcoin amid its ongoing rally, but Chen expects Ether to recover as Bitcoin’s momentum cools.

“The market can expect ETH to reclaim the all-time high before the end of this year,” Chen added.

Ether tends to perform positive quarterly returns against Bitcoin’s price in the first half of post-Bitcoin halving years, which could signal an optimistic sign for Ether price at the beginning of 2025, wrote Benjamin Cowen, the CEO and Founder of ITC Crypto, in a Nov. 23 X post.

  • Senate Banking Committee Chair: CLARITY Act Fails to Advance Due to Democratic Opposition, SEC and CFTC Should Establish Digital Asset Rules

    On September 16, Tim Scott, Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, stated that today, nearly all Senate Republican members voted in favor of advancing the CLARITY Act, but the motion ultimately failed to secure enough votes due to opposition from Senate Democrats. We have taken a step forward. Now, before Congress completes legislation, it is up to the SEC and CFTC to establish clear regulatory rules for digital assets. I remain focused on single mothers and Americans living in poverty, as I grew up in similar circumstances. I will continue to work to protect their hard-earned money and ensure the future of the financial industry remains in the United States.

  • Galaxy CEO: CLARITY Act Fails Due to Bipartisan Ethical Disagreements, SEC and CFTC to Continue Regulatory Efforts

    On September 16, Galaxy CEO Mike Novogratz stated, "The government seems to be paralyzed. Our industry has worked with both Democrats and Republicans for 18 months, yet the CLARITY Act has faltered just five yards from the finish line. All disputes, except for one issue, were resolved through hard negotiations. That issue is ethics. Both sides have held firm to their positions on ethics, ultimately deeming their stance more important than the long-term interests of a significant industry and the opportunity for the U.S. to lead in this sector. Republicans are concerned about imposing real restrictions on the President's ability to profit from digital assets; Democrats have decided to use this industry as a battleground in their fight against corruption. They worry about any actions that could be interpreted as showing a "soft stance" towards the President. Previously, there was a bipartisan proposal that could have resolved this issue, but it ultimately got caught up in political maneuvering. I am very disappointed that neither side was able to find a way across this divide. I know that with only seven weeks until the election, this has largely driven both parties' actions. However, what is truly perplexing is that I do not believe cryptocurrency and this bill will be among the top ten issues in this election. In 2024, yes, but this year's focus will be on war, inflation, cost of living, artificial intelligence, immigration, and which party can provide better solutions to these issues. Nonetheless, I still believe that the SEC and CFTC will continue to advance the development of regulatory rules for digital assets. I hope that over time, Congress will eventually find a way to formally legislate these rules, allowing market participants to build longer-term confidence in how digital assets will be regulated in the U.S. Perhaps Mitch McConnell returning to Congress in a wheelchair after a 90-day break is itself a rather ironic signal, further highlighting the predicament Congress is currently in. Tomorrow we continue to work. We keep building.
