The crypto market has been down to more than two years now with a huge decrease in prices of altcoins like Ethereum (https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/tag/Ethereum) whose costs once soar back at the apex of the crypto bull run when Bitcoin’s price was nearly $20,000 combined with the expanding fame of altcoins in the midst of traders.

Ethereum was extremely famous in 2017 which prompted an enormous increment in price from simple single digits to $1400 with lots of purchasing pressure from a retail crowd pushing the cryptocurrency high as can be. This was supported in those days in light of the fact that blockchain was being utilized for Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) which implied that investors who needed to get new altcoins would put resources into Ethereum.

Well if its on ETH's own to pump to 1k i can still doubt but if bitcoin surge higher eth will definitely surge too,i don't recommend listening to an analyst when buying or want to buy any coin because theybare humans like yourself, most times they are damn wrong

If Ethereum reaches $ 1000 what about the price of bitcoin at that time? will certainly be even higher, for 2 years the crypto market is still like this there is still no good recovery even though we have analyzed it well and the length is still useless if the market is still like this.
We are in 2020 after bitcoin halving and ethereum release 2.0 what will happen will reach ATH.

My friend listening to analysts is not healthy in crypto space, let your decisions be based on what you can gather about the coin, many analysts like playing god, just look at this year alone many analysts says lots of rubbish about price predictions and it never happens

I like to believe that, Ethereum can still reach the $1000 level even if the ICO are gone, the fact that it is fast and the fee is very small, they can shift their roadmap from ICO to being accepted in marketplace.
Ethereum has everything on it, the team just needs to be flexible, they have the support of the community, and new project that are not ICO will always find Ethereum has something all they need to set up their own token.

If you want to publish an article about someone's claim, at least give us the reader the background of the analyst and his proof of claim.
There is no analyst will make a claim out of the blue, who is this mac?
I do not believe it at all, there are rooms to grow for Ethereum and its future is limitless.

At the present time, $ 1,000 is unrealistic, as Ethereum is still struggling below $ 160. However, anything that can happen in the cryptocurrency industry and whether Ethereum can "to the moon" or not, only time will tell. But I believe most people will think that ETH can reach $ 1000 in the future.

I couldn't tell, it won't but both of the possibilities are possible. Ethereum price may not reach that $1,000 again if the condition of the market is just like this. But let's wait for the bull run to happen and it might amazed us what would be the new ATH of Ethereum too. I know their point but i also have some point. ;)

I feel the problem with ETH is its own platform. Most of the tokens created on it went scam or dead, some which are running will eventually create their own blockchain and migrate. Hopefully the Proof of stake update will bring some investors in and start holding ETH again. Also I noticed that most of the hacks included either ETH or its tokens so cant say we will see thousand dollar soon.

Well, we have to see that, I think the upcoming upgrade of Ethereum is quite interesting.  And it will possibly boost the market and its community.  No one can precisely tell what will happen in the future especially when it comes to cryptocurrency.  Unless ETH is abandoned, there is always a chance that the ETH market will recover and even surpass its ATH.

This maybe a valid point but I think ETH's price, just like most cryptocurrencies, is unpredictable! Perhaps we all knew for sure that the era of ICO's has long been gone but had made a mark for its contribution to ETH's rise to become one of the top cryptocurrency in the industry.

I guess we must also acknowledge Ethereum's strengths such as its smart contract feature, a tested and stable platform and ecosystem able to host a multitude of projects and Dapps  on top of it, and most importantly, its overall network value.

Now I think its too early to speculate a downfall on ETH's price because we will never know what will happen next to this platform and what benefits  it could give us in the future. Imho.

Many cryptocurrency analysts constantly give different forecasts.  But in reality, no one can know how the market as a whole will behave.  I now pay attention to forecasts, but this is more likely not for making any serious decisions, but for interest and seeing what is happening in the crypto world.  Regarding ETH, I’ll say that the second-largest coin from CoinMarketCap has every opportunity to reach a price much higher than the one at the peak of $ 1,400.

This is exactly what I'm thinking although ETH is not totally dependent with BTC but if there is a price rally for Bitcoin then it could make some effect to pull the price of Ethereum. There is an up-coming big updates for Ethereum that might help the price to increase, also there's a lot of new project that use ETH as base currency for their crowdfunding which means that there still demand for ETH.

Why zero in on Ethereum? all the coins are down now, and I don't think all experts share the same sentiment, I have seen a lot of people throwing a lot of support to Ethereum, because this is still the second most popular coin in the market, not because there is no more ICO, it's ga,e over for Ethereum.

yes in an analysis it is necessary to prepare all the scenario possible but Ethereum will not exceed the $ 1000 sa I do not think

even if bitcoin touches $50k. I think if this really happens then my prediction is the opposite, eth will be higher than $1400. true, icos has lost interest, but in its efforts I believe eth has other ways to stay in demand so prices will experience much better changes

Ethereum value need to get some more smart contract support as well as on development side because after the smart contract business starting they were not done big update to improve their project.
That is one of the major reason for the drop and no multiple platform update from the team.

after eth2 pos stage inflation rate will reduced and some coins will be locked for staking. accessible eth on circulation reduced on market. how will this effect eth prices you think? maybe 1000$ not reach easily but it will be in long term

The question should be when exactly does he consider as again or is he tryna say Ethereum price throughout its life cycle will never get to $1k or does he have a given time frame for this speculation. If there's no certain period I beg to disagree with his analysis because given Btc market surges Ethereum market will surge as well despite the fact ICOs are no longer as relevant as they used to be which was mainly what made eth price pump hard.

I didnt click any links that you have given which would only redirect into that site but i would answer about the main topic here about ETH wouldnt reach $1000 again?
How sure you are? I do hate to those so-called analysis on keeping  saying that a certain wont hit up those ATH prices once again.I dont see for smart contract project
 wont really able to surpass on its previous peak.The market is still young and there still lots of years to improve and to be adopted.We cant still draw conclusions just
because on seeing the current condition of the market.

When Ethereum gets the highest price in 2017 then of course it is the highest price that can only be reached by ethereum at that time and the price increase is also influenced by the high price of Bitcoin at that time and as you said that year the ICO is growing very fast so demand is Ethereum was very high at the time, but for now I think reaching $ 1000 is still very difficult for ethereum, but if the price of Bitcoin goes back to 2017, of course it can happen again.

AFAIK the all-time high for Ethereum wasn't reached during 2017 but it was during the January 2018's first few weeks. That made a significant pump for most altcoins and Ethereum took the spotlight.

This happened after bitcoin reaching its all time high so that's possible to happen again when we see a bull run. It will be for bitcoin first then the altcoins will be next. Those analysts that says we may never see it again, okay that's fine.

I am sure that Ethereum again will reach price more than $1000 because all market will grow and Ethereum is not exception. All the market only in hands of whales and bulls.

Analysts are close to worthless in the crypto space. According to 'analysts', BTC should have hit both zero and 100K since 2017.

As for ETH, nobody has any idea if it'll reach 1K again or not. It very well could, not due to ICOs obviously, but due to 2.0 and a lot of coins theoretically being locked up in staking. Or maybe it never hits 1K, just 500-600... or less... whatever it hits, the odds to me is that it'll be higher than current prices at least.

Lots of people are saying ETH will hit new ATH very soon. This one is contradicting. So I don't believe that. Let it go up or down. I will wait and watch instead of spending time in reading such analysis.

I think it’s worth considering this article, since it seems to me that this is true. Indeed, in fact, ETH showed the best growth in 2017-2018, because thanks to it investments came into new projects that were built on the ETH blockchain, I think it’s time for us to open our eyes to all the events that are happening and understand that nothing is happening heats up the price of ETH so much because all you can do with it is send a transaction or make a smart contract, nothing more. I think that it is worth looking for a new coin that has useful functions and may become in demand in the next bull market.

I agree that the ETH might not reach $1000 again, but we're currently at $154 as of today, and there's about $850 to go to even touch $1000. There's plenty of space for moves within this relatively large range, and even though ICOs are not as prevalent as they used to be, I expect IEOs and ICOs and fundraising efforts of this type will probably start to become popular once again if Bitcoin starts moving up towards its previous high of around $20k once more.

There is over 100 million Etherum in existence. At price of $1000/ETH, whole Ethereum network would be worth over 100 billion USD. Do you know how much money that is?

ridiculous prediction.however the market situation can change instantly and all predictions are not correct.Believe it or not you can see the progress made by the Ethereum team.several crises in the market have an impact on the decline in prices of btc and altcoin caused by many cases, including frequent market hacks, of course this will affect the price of btc and eth.I believe  BTC will go up 25000 dollars and ETH will go up 1000 dollars

Many argue that ETH skyrocketed back in 2017 because it was the major coin used in ICOs since many new projects took advantage of its smart contract and ease to create ERC20 tokens. However, I still believe ETH can touch 1000$ in future but not so soon, it will take time. Generally crypto market has been down, not only ETH and if there is a major adoption of crypto, we all know it will begin from Bitcoin and then ETH before other altcoins.

all the future forecasts of the various analysts in the sector are useless, no one can foresee the future the value of eth could still fall but I believe that by the end of 2020 will return to the values ​​of the end of 2017 that is around $ 1200, no one can say for sure you just have to wait for the events...

Things can go in any side with Ethereum. The future of Ethereum largely depends on the upcoming upgrades. If they are able to upgrade Ethereum without an issue than there's no stopping of Ethereum but some miss would lead to alternative tokens giving a tough fight for Ethereum. Ethereum has a large userbase and headstart while it's technologically older than the new generation utility token.

Never say never. If the price of bitcoin rises to $ 30,000, what do analysts say will be the price of Ethereum? For me, one thing is obvious, without the growth of bitcoin there will be no growth in the altcoin market.
You can say anything you like, but the market has manipulative control levers, which does not allow you to give any accurate forecasts on this subject.

It will depend on Bitcoin. ETH can look weak if you look at its chart alone but it follows Bitcoin so if BTC goes to 10 thousand again ETH will pump even without the ICO boom that lead to an all time high last time.

The weakness of ETH can be measured by how much BTC will have to pump first to get it to 1000. Last time 20 thousand Bitcoin gave us 1000 USD ETH. This time such price of bitcoin can mean a 500 dollar cheaper ETH but it will still be a great achievement.

It's very unlikely for it to happen considering the current price of Ethereum. For it to happen, the entire crypto market has to become globally accepted.

Could analysts predict when ETH reached ATH or the lowest price? Or have they made the right long term prediction so far? Stop believing in them hearty. Just look their thoughts to add something to yourself. This market is the brake exploded truck and the time is unknown road, nobody knows what will happen, so fasten the belts and hold them tight.

Definitely, and these so called prediction by analyst at the end of the day is only a speculation and nothing more because the price of crypto are unpredictable and trust me if these so called analyst is always get their prediction right they would have become a billionaire.
It's just a matter of time and $1000 is definitely possible but quite hard to reach however doesn't mean it can't get there if crypto somehow having a bullish trend.

I wouldn't listen to any analysts. Because there can be a lot of opinions, but we don't know which of them will be correct. Therefore, rely only on yourself.

2017 year was for ethereum blockchain which means huge bullrun. In this correction time you can't be sure that ethereum can't touch 1k USD. You know Ethereum 2.0 can change the altcoins price with altcoins price. You know after few months CMC could rise more then now that time could be easy to reach 1k again to Ethereum coin.

I think the analysis will always say good things about crypto rise. but if we look at the etherum 2.0 plan, POS, and some other developments that are said to be vilatic, I think etherum will indeed go up, but don't know what value it will reach.

That's true, but other coins went along for the bull ride in 2017.  Dash hit about $1500 if I'm remembering correctly, and look at what price it's trading for now...about $50.  So it isn't exactly as if Eth *deserves* to be trading at $1000.  Maybe $140 is a fair price for it right now.

However whether the current Eth value is fair or not, I do think there is a ton of upside potential and that it will be worth more than what it is now.  I don't know how long it's going to take for the price to rebound, but I'm pretty sure it will, especially if and when it goes full proof of stake.  That should turn a lot of people on to it, which should be good for at least a short term price increase.

in my opinion it's still possible ethereum can reach $ 1,000. because I see ethereum always following the price of bitcoin. when bitcoin goes down ethereum also decreases. so I am optimistic that later in 2020 bitcoin is reduced by half and then the price of bitcoin is pumping then ethereum will also go to the moon. ethereum includes coins that have good technology and low transfer costs and are in great demand by investors. so I think there is still a chance for ethereum to be able to pump again.

It all depends on whether the altszn would come or not, if it would come then we might see ETH even exceed that amount when bitcoin hits $50,000 or above, I know this might sound too optimistic but that's what I truly believe, the Cryptocurrency sphere is highly volatile and we have seen things that we thought were impossible become possible and I have learnt not to discount anything as too impossible to happen especially when it comes to price changes.

I am sure ethereum prices will bounce back but don't know to what extent. During ethereum gave new updates which are very interesting.
On the other hand, of course this price will be influenced also by the price of bitcoin. As we have seen in the last 5 years that if the price of bitcoin rises, the price of altcoin also tends to rise following the king. Let's look at the development of kirpto in 2020. Will it be satisfying or disappointing? who knows.

I do agree that future forecasts are kinda useless considering how much time they get it wrong and also most of the time if they get it right because of the self fulfilling prophecy. However, I don't actually sure that ETH will hit that much of price either considering how much the circulating supplies of Ethereum which is enormous and keeps on accumulating day by day. It just feels not right and will surely bloated. However I feel it's undervalued if the price is below $150 either. There must be a sweet spot for it.

At one point it's true even now ethereum is struggling to even reach and surpass the $200 mark, and to have a stable price above that. So, to reach $1000 mark again might be really hard. But it doesn't mean that it does not have the chance of going back up just like it used to be. We're talking about analyst here. Not every of their predictions are true.
Though I agree back then when the price was still very high not only because of bitcoin price surge, but also how popular eth back then. But there's still hope for ethereum to have a good value especially after another development which is eth 2.0.

I do believed that Ethereum ca still get to 4 digits as long as ETH 2.0 will deliver what it has promised.

Of course, there's the block halving that can really affect the price of altcoin specially ETH. So to say that it may never reach $1000 in the future is not true, in my opinion.

It's just struggling today, but in the next 6 months to one year we can go back in this thread and says' that they are all wrong with Ethereum.

It's still too early to say that. When eth reaches 1000$ its becauss of the market bull run not because of it owns pump or growth alone. The market moves together not just one project alone. Yes it could move faster than others if there is a growth. Eth still on development and people will realize its worth if the erh objective is accomplished.

Ethereum will be hard to climb back to the price where the ICO's heyday lasts. Can not be at the leftover investors are now more afraid to invest in a new altcoin where it is riskier because many scammers and projects fail. Because of the hype of ETH used to be when many of the ICO projects and their platforms used are reasonable a very high price increase compared to now, as ETH is not much in use anymore by them transaction.

I agree! If only we could collate all the crypto analysis about ETH coming from different "crypto industry analysts", then we can observe that there are contradicting theories in which most of them were product of mere prejudice and speculation not to mention that they are still unprecedented.

One thing is sure though - that the future of ETH or the crypto industry in general is still unknown. Its either we may experience euphoria with it again possibly with great intensity compared to its ATH last January 2018 or we may be left behind with disappointment and despair!

Well just never know what will transpire in the near future. Imho. :)

but this is not a reason if ethereum cannot reach its heyday again, because a good project will certainly have an innovation to boost its products. and we know that at the beginning of the year ethereun 2.0 will be held. and we will find other innovations next

Anything can happen in crypto. If the price of ethereum is doubted it will reach $ 1000 again, of course you should look at the future price of bitcoin. All depends on the price of bitcoin. If bitcoin reaches a new ATH and reaches $ 20,000 then it's not impossible ethereum and other altcoins reach a new ATH as well.

Cryptocurrency is very complex and anything can happen. Technical and Fundamental Analysis only helps to predict it, not to determine future prices.

Maybe hard for ethereum pass above $1000 because right now ethereum never raise up again, look die for ethereum how to raise on higher price to give best thing for investing get back their money, I miss with eth come back with higher price because will give motivate for many ICO become success if have new thing at the future eth can raise to higher price.

It could very easily reach $1k if BTC prices go up in a rally that drags the entire market up.

That's the thing with altcoins. For them to rally hard there is a prerequisite requirement that bitcoin is in a bull market first. However, BTC prices should ideally move sideways for altcoins to realise the most gains.

ETH is one of the coins that long term speaking, is one of the more stable and fundamentally sound coins out there. I wouldn't dismiss it this easily.

Ethereum has a lot of potential so just wait until Bitcoin recovers and the new network updates arrive next year and you might see some positive price action that's long awaited now, so don't doubt that it has some more potential value as a quality investment

No one knows which way the further development of cryptocurrency will go. However, if you look at cryptocurrency, Ethereum is still one of the most promising cryptocurrencies. The price of this coin will depend on the general condition of the cryptocurrency market, as well as on the functionality of the coin itself, and the price of ethereum will grow as the market develops. Given that bitcoin is still dominating other types of cryptocurrencies, the price of ethereum is still dependent on the price of bitcoin.

It's difficult to predict whatever the directions this coin will be heading but comparatively speaking each updates creates good lift in terms of valuations, investors are expecting good rise though touching 1k$ still uncertain. Possibilities that it go that far is when bitcoin started to pump up. Most useful
alts will gain valuation part of that is ETH who mostly tailed BTC when big blowout happened inside the market.

Ethereum's biggest enemy is its own design. The Unlimited eth supply will always create huge pressure on the eth prices. Combine it with the ongoing bear market and you'll have the current eth prices. Completely out of the race with bitcoin. It may reach 1k again but it may take a lot longer than what people expect.

actually I also feel that way. it's just that until now the development of coins based on ERC20 is still ongoing, and it is the platform of ethereum. besides, we don't know what ethereum 2.0 will look like in the future. Although some predictions say that the price of ethereum will not reach the price of $ 1000, but I quite believe that there will be a chance where the price of ethereum approaches that.

Oh, same things have been said about Bitcoin never reaching the $1,162 all-time-high price again. What is the price now? $7,400? The 2015 version of me would extremely be shocked at today's price. The crypto space is still nascent, a lot of things can still happen.

for this year or in 2020 it will probably be difficult to be in the price of $ 1000 but we will never in the next 2 years. because there are also many speculations and predictions that say if the crypto market will have a maximum bull run in the next 2-3 years

Never to reach $1000 the price of ethereum? how can analyst so sure that ethereum will never reach that high price again. I believe that ethereum will reach the highest price again and it will surpass $1000 price for sure.

He could be right. I'm not saying I completely agree with him, but I do consider the possibility that altcoins may never reach ATH again, and this is all old altcoins, discounting new ones. Bitcoin is different altogether, that can go on and on but in the next bullrun, everyone will see how ETH performs, especially because this will be by the time ETH 2.0 with pos.

It's not just all about ICOs, ETH is still the most active dapp platform and with 2.0 more dapps will come. People need gas more than they need ETH to invest into ICOs.

I think we should still invest on cryptomarket. Because it is only starting a lot of people don't know crypto currency yet. When it has been learned by the next generation maybe we can earn a lot more higher. Or the prices of bitcoins and alt coin will be much more higher even though it is going down for now. It will rise up again and rise little by little as the demand increases. For me it is good to invest little by little today and earn it on the future specially on bitcoin and eth because it is the two best crypto currency out there in the market.

Demand and supply simply determine the market value of a crypto. I do believe that predicting the outcome or something which is not in control of any individual, is simply impossible. There are people who assume an increase for Ethereum given its reputation in this industry but also there are these people who do think that it won't. Different people yields to different assumptions and perception. But looking into ETH in general, I don't think that its price would remain low.
