In this video, Coin Bureau’s Guy dives into Ethereum's (ETH) price potential for 2025, exploring both bullish and bearish scenarios. ETH, often dubbed the "black sheep" of crypto, has lagged behind Bitcoin (BTC) for years, raising concerns about its long-term performance. However, recent momentum has seen ETH climb back above $4,000, reigniting hope among holders.


Guy outlines Ethereum’s struggles: while BTC surged to new highs in 2024, ETH fell dramatically, nearly halving in value. Still, ETH has bounced back, maintaining its long-term support against BTC and suggesting a recovery might be underway. If ETH breaks its previous all-time high of $4,875, it could trigger a "price discovery" phase, where resistance levels disappear, potentially pushing ETH much higher.


The base case prediction for 2025 is $7,300, based on technical analysis using Fibonacci levels. This figure seems achievable given ETH’s historical performance and its role as the top altcoin. However, for ETH to reach more extreme heights- like $14,000 - the market would require an unprecedented bull run driven by massive capital inflows and BTC hitting $200,000.


On the bearish side, ETH faces stiff competition. Unlike BTC, which has no direct rival, Ethereum competes with alternative smart contract platforms like Solana and its own Layer-2 solutions. Market saturation and investor interest in riskier altcoins also threaten ETH’s dominance.


Ultimately, Guy emphasizes that ETH’s future depends on overall market conditions and Bitcoin’s trajectory. While a $14K ETH isn’t impossible, it remains unlikely without an "insane" bull market. For now, $7,300 is seen as a realistic target, but as always in crypto, nothing is guaranteed. Investors should remain flexible, monitor charts, and manage risk carefully.
