Benjamin Cowen breaks down where Ethereum could realistically go this market cycle - and why guessing one exact number is pointless. Instead, he gives a range based on patterns, history, and a healthy dose of caution.
The Price Range
-
Base case: $5,700 to $7,500
-
These numbers come from past cycles, chart patterns, and Ethereum’s typical behavior during bull runs.
-
$5,700 is the “safe” target - the point where Benjamin says he’d start watching closely.
-
$7,500 is more ambitious but still realistic if momentum continues.
Could ETH Go Higher?
-
Technically, yes - $9,000 or even $10,000 is possible.
-
But history shows ETH rarely spends time at that kind of high-risk level.
-
If we do hit $9K, Ben says he’d be “running for the hills” - it’s likely the cycle top.
How to Handle It
-
Don’t try to time the top.
-
Instead, scale out gradually as price climbs:
Key Highlights:-
Take some profits at $4K
-
More at $4.8K
-
Even more around $7K+
-
-
That way, you're locking in gains without guessing the exact peak.
Cycle Timing
-
If history repeats, the bull market likely ends around early 2026.
-
That gives ETH about 6-9 months left to make its move before a new bear market.
Bottom line:
Expect ETH to land somewhere between $5,700 and $7,500 this cycle. Higher is possible, but less likely. Don’t obsess over the top - take profits gradually and stay level-headed as things heat up.
