Technological advancements and mainstream adoption could even see the native cryptocurrency print a new all-time high of $7,000 in 2025, according to experts at Bitwise.
Ether has, in fact, inched up a little already in recent hours – but does it have enough juice to reclaim the $4,000 level by the end of January? Let’s find out.

Ethereum Technicals Signal Rally to $4,000From a technical perspective, the possibility of ETH climbing all the way back to the $4,000 level by the end of this month does look promising. Ethereum’s price chart is forming a rounding bottom – a bullish reversal pattern that typically signals renewed buying interest.
Signs of fading volatility are evident in its 4-hour chart and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovering slightly above the oversold level suggests the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap may be slated for a trend shift in the near term.
Additionally, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows a positive trend while the contracted Bollinger Bands hint at the possibility of a continued upward momentum in Ether as well.

Ether fundamentals suggest further upsideThere’s sufficient evidence in the fundamentals to expect a material rebound in ETH to $4,000 in January.
For example, the open-source blockchain platform is scheduled for the Pectra upgrade aimed at making it faster, more scalable, and easier to use in the first quarter of 2025.
Ethereum will then go through another upgrade that will improve its security and overall performance to further solidify its position in the rather decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape. Developers are calling it the “Fusaka” upgrade.
Moreover, Ether has seen a massive increase in HODLer wallets. Year-to-date, the count has increased to a whopping 645,000, as per recent data from Santiment that suggests retail investors have confidence in the long-term prospects of ETH.
Note that Ethereum is widely recognized for its robust security measures, which may also help expand its use cases and drive continued demand for its native cryptocurrency moving forward.
Institutional capital may flow into ETH this yearThe Securities & Exchange Commission has already approved a number of Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) – but these investment vehicles have failed to attract institutional interest, at least to the extent that Bitcoin did so far.
However, that could change under the Trump administration. Why? Because Bitcoin is broadly seen as a store of value but Ethereum is all about utility.
So, the expected regulatory clarity under the new government is all the more meaningful for ETH as its use cases require clear rules to realize their full potential and drive widespread adoption.
Note that President-elect Donald Trump is scheduled to take office on January 20th. If he starts to deliver on his pro-crypto promises right off the bat – the price of ETH could very well print a new all-time high by the end of January.

Ether could rally on the back of another rate cutThere’s every reason to believe that Ethereum will hit a new all-time high in January. The price of this native cryptocurrency could also pop in the near term on the back of another rate cut the US Federal Reserve is expected to announce in its policy meeting in the final week of this month.
Coupled with the upcoming network upgrades aimed at improving the blockchain’s scalability and functionality, growing institutional interest, a crypto-friendly regulatory backdrop, and favorable technical indicators – ETH looks poised for significant gains in 2025.
That’s why CoinDCX analysts expect Ethereum to more than triple from current levels to over $10,000 by the end of this year. Investors, take note.
