Ethereum’s Rollercoaster: Why Some Investors See Stormy Weather Ahead

Ethereum just hit $2, 400, but not everyone’s celebrating. Big money is still pouring in—$276 million last week alone—but a well-known trader warns things could get rough. If the downward trend keeps going, Ethereum might drop to $1, 300 by 2025. That’s a far cry from its peak, and some worry the foundation of its value is cracking. One big concern? The recent troubles at Aave, a major lending platform built on Ethereum. It’s shaking trust in the network’s ability to keep things safe and stable. And when you add in the rise of AI investments and strong tech stocks, Ethereum looks less appealing. A trader even said Ethereum in 2026 could be in worse shape than it was in 2023. Ouch.On the bright side, Ethereum’s price is testing key moving averages right now. The 20-day and 50-day averages are both rising below the current price, which is a rare bullish sign. But there’s a catch—the 100-day average at $2, 354 is acting like a wall. Ethereum tried to break through last week but bounced back down. Today, it’s giving it another shot. If it clears $2, 380, things could get interesting. But if not, the next big drop might be coming. The big question is whether Ethereum can hold steady or if the bears will take over. Right now, it’s caught between hope and worry.
