Ethereum's 2025 Price Prediction: Bullish or Bearish?

Ethereum's price prediction for 2025 has sparked intense debate among crypto enthusiasts and analysts following its inclusion in Donald Trump's newly announced US Crypto Reserve. While many expect Ethereum (ETH) to break out of its long-standing sideways channel, others anticipate further price correction.

Analyzing Ethereum's technicals and fundamentals, we find a mixed picture. On the one hand, Ethereum is holding a major support zone on the weekly chart, continually respecting the important $2K level and 200 EMA, and the current support zones contain major accumulation areas. On the other hand, lower highs and lower lows are being made on the daily chart, moving averages are sloping downwards on the lower timeframes, and there's a battle against the bears on the lower timeframes.

According to Glassnode, the $1.9K price point is also a major accumulation zone, with over 1.82M ETH being bought at it by long-term investors since August 2023.

Ethereum has been trapped between the $2K and $4K levels for almost a year, forming a rectangle pattern. A breakout above the ceiling ($4K) could see Ethereum reach a new high that's as far away as the breadth of the rectangle, potentially crossing $6K.

Ethereum's market sentiment is positive, with the crypto up 5.75% today and trading at around $2,200. Its inclusion in Trump's Crypto Strategic Reserve has likely contributed to this surge. Trump's crypto company, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), is HODLing over $200M worth of Ethereum, making up nearly 65% of the firm's entire crypto portfolio. Ethereum is also the only other crypto besides Bitcoin to have spot ETFs, and Black
