Policy shifts, softer ETF demand, or a change in macro sentiment might also stop a rally in a hurry.<\/p>\n<p>Unless Layer 2 growth or network usage equates to increased mainnet demand, price appreciation may be capped. Regulation news in big markets also reverses flows rapidly.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, forecasts span a broad range.

Other companies provide more modest estimates, and smaller analysts suggest more bullish estimates up to $8,500.<\/p>\n<p>The disparity highlights the extent to which price targets are reliant on assumptions regarding flows, adoption, and macro considerations.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum rallied again this week as fresh institutional demand and heavy ETF inflows pushed traders to consider higher price paths.
