Financial research firm Fundstrat has issued a bullish prediction for Ethereum’s native token, forecasting a significant price surge following an expected short-term bottom. Managing Director Mark Newton anticipates Ether will bottom out over the weekend before embarking on a rally toward $5,500. The analysis suggests recent crypto weakness is temporary and sets the stage for renewed upward momentum.

Ethereum’s price volatility has sparked contrasting analyst predictions. Fundstrat’s Tom Lee and Mark Newton believe ETH has found a temporary bottom around $4,300 and could reach $5,000-$5,450, citing technical analysis and institutional accumulation. However, skeptics like TradeNation’s David Morrison and eToro’s Simon Peters point to overbought conditions, historical September weakness, and potential Federal Reserve policy impacts. Peters notes that while medium-term prospects remain strong due to regulatory clarity, ETF demand, and institutional adoption, short-term consolidation or decline is likely. The analysis also highlights Bitcoin’s influence on ETH, with some experts warning that a significant BTC downturn could drag Ethereum down despite its strong fundamentals.
about Ethereum Price Predictions: $5,000 Target Amid VolatilityEthereum Dip Seen as Healthy Pause Before $5,100 Run
Ethereum’s recent pullback from $4,776 to around $4,293 is being interpreted by Fundstrat’s Tom Lee and Mark Newton as a ‘healthy correction’ rather than a bearish reversal. Technical analysis indicates potential support between $4,075-$4,150, presenting a favorable risk/reward opportunity before an expected push to approximately $5,100. While short-term trader sentiment has weakened significantly—with Polymarket bets on $5,000 by month-end dropping from 64% to 26%—underlying fundamentals remain strong. Exchange reserves have hit a three-year low of 18.5 million ETH, suggesting accumulation by whales and institutions. Bitmine Immersion Technologies’ recent accumulation of 1.15 million ETH ($5 billion) further demonstrates growing institutional demand, with some analysts speculating about much higher long-term targets despite current consolidation.

Tom Lee of Fundstrat forecasts Ethereum (ETH) could reach $5,000 in the coming months and surpass $10,000 long-term, citing stablecoin growth as a key driver. He compares Ethereum’s potential valuation to Circle, a major stablecoin issuer trading at 100x EBITDA, suggesting ETH is undervalued. With stablecoin adoption booming—potentially growing from $250B to $2T—Ethereum’s role as the primary settlement layer could propel its price. Technical analysts at Fundstrat also see a 20% near-term upside for ETH, targeting $3,300-$5,000. At press time, ETH trades at $3,024.
