Its current price is approximately between $3,100 and $3,150.
In recent days, we saw a slight drop in price due to a general market correction, but Ethereum's fundamentals remain strong, giving us a positive outlook in the medium to long term.
Ethereum is currently in a consolidation phase after a strong start to 2026, especially with large amounts of capital entering from institutional investors at the beginning of the month, followed by a temporary exit due to portfolio rebalancing and the end of the year.
✅ Positive Points (Strengths):
Ethereum ETFs saw strong capital inflows at the beginning of January
In one day, approximately $174 million entered
During the first week, hundreds of millions entered
Some funds have started distributing staking rewards (additional income from locking up currency)
Ethereum network usage is increasing significantly
Stablecoin transfers exceed $8 trillion every three months
Locked capital in applications (DeFi) is approximately $70 – $75 billion
Clear growth in linking real-world assets to the blockchain (such as real estate and stocks)
Strong technical upgrades to the network
Updates such as Fusaka and Pectra have made the network faster and better
Ethereum founder (Vitalik Buterin) confirmed the network is improving significantly
Greater improvements are expected during 2026
⚠️ Negative Points (Risks):
There was a temporary outflow of funds from ETFs in recent days
For example: about $98 million exited on January 7
This is related to the overall market decline
The price is facing a strong resistance zone between $3,300 – $3,400
Volatility is high
The market is awaiting U.S. economic data
Some investors are selling to take profits or for tax reasons
🔮 Analysts' Outlook:
Large institutions such as Bloomberg, Standard Chartered, and Fundstrat are optimistic
Price Expectations: $7,000 – $9,000 early in 2026
It could be higher by year-end if network growth continues
