Optimism Grows Despite Weekly Price Drop; Analysts Eye Higher Targets for Ether in 2025
Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have surpassed $2.5 billion in total inflows, signalling growing investor confidence in Ether (ETH) despite a 10% weekly price drop. Data from Farside Investors shows that on December 24 alone, these ETFs received $53 million in cumulative net inflows.
At 1:00 pm UTC on December 25, Ether was trading at $3,475, according to Cointelegraph Markets Pro. Crypto analyst Satoshi Flipper noted in a December 25 X post that ETH is poised for a breakout if it successfully flips the $3,500 psychological level into support:
“ETH breaking out as expected, price now trying to flip the $3.5k level from resistance to support.”
Round numbers like $3,500 tend to attract retail investor interest, but failure to surpass this mark could weigh on sentiment.
Analysts Predict $4,000 Before January 20
Crypto analysts remain bullish on Ether’s trajectory heading into 2025. Bybit analysts predict ETH could rally above $4,000 before January 20, when President-elect Donald Trump is set to take office. This optimism has been further bolstered by the announcement of SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s departure, effective on the same date.
“Bybit analysts see $4,000 on the horizon for ETH before Jan. 20,” a Bybit spokesperson told.
$5,000 and Beyond in 2025
Further price momentum is expected after the holiday season, with some analysts targeting even higher levels. In a December 25 X post, crypto analyst Lucky projected ETH to hit $5,000 during the 2025 market cycle.
Institutional investors are also bullish on Ether’s long-term potential. VanEck, a leading asset management firm, forecasts a cycle top of $6,000 for ETH by 2025, alongside a $180,000 price prediction for Bitcoin (BTC).
With growing institutional inflows and positive sentiment, Ether’s price could be primed for significant growth in the years ahead.
