As all are speculating the merge for ETH, are we gonna see ATH for ETH in the crypto market? Thoughts?

One analysis I've read, it says maybe we'll get something like a pump for the short term. He said that for short term he's bullish but these effects would still have to go into balancing eventually.

But with such news and everything that seems to be positive for ETH, I'm bullish on it and whether it'll be back to its former ATH. Then, that's good to hear and see but I'm optimistic with the upcoming merge and its effect to the entire eth network.

Most of the times when coins release something big or do a merge, you always see big pump in the days before the event also. After a while, the effect fades away and the price drops to a lower level, but still higher than before. I doubt that we will see a new ATH for ETH with the merge as the price needs to more than double for that.

Personally, in my opinion,  I don't think that ETH will resume and go with a new ATH just because of the merger. But you can see that a lot of them are hyping it buy I'm not buying everything those so called experts.

Just remember that we are still in the bear market, it just reaches it's all time low. So I would be calling a sudden flip just because of this news. But if we are talking about a short term upside then why not, but it's not going to be sustainable in this kind of situation.

You know speculation has risk of incorrect speculation.

The Merge is a very big event for Ethereum community but do you think their developers will launch it when the general market is still very bearish. They are not stupid to do that so the launch would happen in bear market, with best conditions for Ethereum speculative show.

Do you think it is best time for them to do it?

In my opinion, it is not that time hence I don't believe Ethereum will get its new all time high any time soon from now.

ATH was $4.8k. It's too far so hold your horses about your expectations.
Yes, Ethereum may have made the trend recently but it doesn't mean it could go way up without the help of a Bitcoin pump.
Remember, that ATH didn't come from that merge news because it was just reported recently and not when they are being dragged by the Bitcoin pump at $60k each.
There will be investors, old and new but I doubt it could be pulled as far up as what happened before.

Nothing is impossible in the cryptocurrency market) And if we previously saw how the price of ETH decreased by 3 times, then why can't it increase by the same value? Ethereum after the upgrade will significantly increase throughput and scalability, which will allow you to abandon most of the L2 solutions, which will undoubtedly attract more users to this blockchain. The main thing is that this update should not be postponed to a later date.

From my previous known experience, i have seen that when there is a pump in Bitcoins, all the altcoins follow BTC.
So we can only expect all time high for ETH when BTC starts rising. But currently seeing the bull market, it’s obvious that it will take more time to see a pump in the coins.
In the mean time we can buy these coins and add in our portfolio. In a month or two BTC will surely rise and with the rise of BTC, ETH and other coins will also rise and all the investors will get huge profit.

new all time high for ETH could only gets realized once btc is taking off, otherwise even if it's merge it gonna have little influence towards the overall valuation of ETH.
I think you better off waiting for BTC trend changing direction then you could easily see new ATH for both BTC and ETH.
otherwise it could hardly realized since ETH also heavily get influenced by BTC

If we see ATH for Ethereum, I think we might see Bitcoin first to do the rally.
At this time, I won't just expect it - not that I was hopeless but the situation doesn't permit it yet. Even though we heard about the merge announcement, I couldn't imagine how this could influence the market price, but possibly it was just a few pumps that might happen. For now, I wasn't thinking that big as in my mind, what we gonna see today could be the same after the merge.

Looking at the current state of things, it looks like in the near future, ethereum will not reach its new ATH. I might speculate more that the price might come back close to its ATH rather than reach a new ATH. however, no one knows, in the crypto world, anything can happen.
Other than that, I still believe that ethereum could reach its new ATH in the future. however, in order to see that, it looks like we need to wait until the current situation is completely recovered. I feel that this might be a good time to have some ethereum before it reaches its new ATH or before the pump happens.

My general take on Ethereum has always been that it probably is just as important for the whole cryptomarket and its evolution and development as Bitcoin itself. Of course Bitcoin basically created the whole crypto space because before Bitcoin there simply were not cryptocurrencies existent. Ethereum has brought a whole new dimension of opportunities and possibilities to the crypto market though with the introduction of the smart contracts. Without them we would not have Dexes, no tokens, no Defi and no NFT's.
I doubt though that we will see a new ATH for Ethereum anytime soon, because the whole market is just still to shaky for that to happen in my opinion.

Looking at its past performance, one can imagine how much has been missed by not investing in this currency during the current market correction. Ethereum has been breaking through $1700 for a while and that provides a bit of optimism for many traders who were expecting more surprises to come from this digital coin. Of course, I believe it will go up because ETH is one of the currencies that brought bitcoin to its throne. Talking about speculation, there are many people who previously bet on the price of BTC will correct to the price of US $ 13,500.

Yesterday I sold most of my Ethereum because it reached a good price against Bitcoin and it hasn't happened in a while, so I don't expect it to continue going up unless the price of Bitcoin goes up.
In general, the currency looks promising, but in the current situation, I prefer not to invest in alternative currencies and almost sold 99%, but I will repurchase when the price drops against USD/BTC.

We've already seen how Ethereum could reach a good value especially when the price of Bitcoin goes up. It has shown great potential over the years so I believe that it could strike high and reach a new milestone of good price when the bull run approaches. It's still good to buy it now since it's worth holding for the long term. The price of Ethereum might be like a roller coaster movement these days but when the market recovers, I'm sure that next to Bitcoin, it will show a good move as well.

ETH is a good coin, its the top altcoin and for sure it will hit a new ATH in the right time, I'm sure in the next bull market, ETH will join the trend and make its new ATH again. Many are quiet disappointed with the updates of ETH, but that is already in the past and I'm looking forward now with a future updates of ETH. I'm still holding my ETH, worth it or not as long as I'm confident with my investment decision, then I will patiently wait for the result.

I also did the same thing 2 days ago, although I still lost when I sold my $ROSE coin, but I think that the current market has not shown consistency in the market transition period.

Even though I sold my $ROSE at a loss, but it wasn't too bad, because $ROSE experienced a significant increase from its lowest price a few days ago after the further announcement regarding the collaboration between Oasis Labs and Meta (Facebook). In conclusion, now is not the right time to own any altcoins, including $ETH.

I am not sure if we are "gonna see" ATH for ETH soon as the market is not fully recovered because it seems it is too difficult to recover in a short time. But you can still speculate to see ATH for ETH soon but you should have another plan if your speculation is not going to happen. I still think that ETH needs more time to rise or we can say recover step by step before or after the merge for ETH. If the investor is confident that the merge for ETH can bring a good thing for them, they will give their big support to ETH and that can help the price to start rising. Otherwise, we still need to wait and be more patient to see the price rise.

If you meant about monthly or weekly high and that might be possible but for ATH. that's still too far to be real. Merged has no impact to the price of ethereum. Yeah it goes at least 20% increase after the announcement but you must not forget that if ethereum was still following and what you can expect if bitcoin was still trading at the low price? if bitcoin will not reach ATH and ethereum will be doing the same thing like that.
It's too early to take about new ATH. don't you know how crypto market works? it's always following bitcoin. There's no doubt if ethereum will reach ATH once bitcoin will be doing it first

Must of people think ETH is a strong altcoin and it have bright future. ETH can reach 10k usd in future. People trust Ethereum only after Bitcoin. And like bitcoin, Ethereum is considered a strong asset. I am holding 2 ETH and I think these will make me a great asset in the future. ETH can make new ATH 10k usd in the next big pump

How do you think that ETH next ATH will be $10k? ETH is a good altcoin it is true and i also believe Ethereum will do something better in the future. But that doesn't seem to happen very soon. You are holding eth so you are very bullish on eth.  But the reality is that it will take at least 5 years for ETH to reach $10k. maybe next ATH for Ethereum is $5k

If the ecosystem works perfectly and no bugs appear, then in 3-4 years such a price is possible. Prior to this, Ethereum worked stably for 7 years, except for the forced fork due to the hacking of the first DAO. The most difficult time will be after September 19 if the Merge goes through.

Of course, the target of $10k is very realistic to reach ATH in the future because now the ETH network has resolved the complaint of high gas fees and we just have to wait for the time for the market to go up, from my analysis ETH includes the highest recovery reaching $2k, so it's an early indication about the next ATH.

As merging is set to create better opportunities and positive feedbacks, then I’m also optimistic that the upcoming merging will certainly bring ethereum into its new all time high. Although no one can perfectly foresee what’s ahead for ethereum, but if this upcoming merge is for a better cause, then I’m rooting for it, and believe that it’s set for a brighter future for ethereum network and its community.

I'm guessing that the merge gonna have low relevancy for the overall value of the eth, after all it's like the case of btc halving from my 2 cents, seems great though i'm sure it isn't gonna make the value went beyond so high.
though actually we're all here just making some speculation, the end result will be coming once the merge finished, even though there's definitely some kind of influence that gonna occurs caused by this. I'm sure it isn't gonna make ETH reach ATH.

As we know that the ETH price was relying now upon the BTC price, if there is BTC ATH, of course, there is also a new ATH of ETH.
ETH is one of the biggest networks that have many projects relying upon them so possible this will have a big impact on the market and for sure will create a new ATH. However, it need patience because there is no accurate time when it will happen.

The price of ETH is now at $1600, which means it's down about 65% from the ATH price it hit 8 months ago. Although the decline in the price of
ETH is quite deep, we don't need to worry, because ETH will definitely return to the price of ATH. The problem is that the price of ETH is greatly
affected by BTC price movements, so anyway if we want to see ETH recover, then have to wait for BTC to recover first. Therefore we really have
to be patient waiting for the ETH price to recover, because no one ever knows when the price of ETH recovers. But we can take advantage of
the current situation to collect ETH, because ETH has proven to be very good for long-term investments. Even now, ETH is still the best altcoin,
and no other altcoins have been able to beat ETH yet, so investing in ETH will be very profitable. So don't ever hesitate to buy ETH at a low price
like now, because ETH will definitely recover and achieve new ATH in the future.

A pump will definitely happen that is for sure, but I am not so sure that we are going to see a new ATH for ethereum at that time.

Ethereum will have to triple its current price just to barely go above its previous ATH and I am not confident something like that can happen so suddenly, still it is a good moment to buy some ethereum so you can take advantage of that pump, but I will try to avoid having such high hopes for the price of ethereum as I do not believe such an increase on its price is even possible.

that doesn't seem to be a real thing this year. It's very far from the new ATH. if you are betting in the merged announcement and you have made a mistake. Ethereum will not reach the new ATH if bitcoin didn't. The point is when you are seeing a big announcement was coming to the ethereum and it will not give huge impact like make ethereum to reach another ath again.bitcoin must have done another halving to reach another ath.
we are not going to see the new ath again. you must also learn from the yearly pattern of crypto and how ethereum is very correlated with bitcoin at this moment.

IMO, Ethereum is a great cryptocurrency and as such, it will have huge supporters with the merge. The community of users will make Ethereum to rise ATH - with many utilities, dapps, etc. However, according to Vitalik Buterin, the Merge does not have value yet (https://en.cryptonomist.ch/2022/07/28/according-vitalik-buterin-merge-have-value-yet/). According to Vitalik, the price effects will certainly be there, but until 6-8 months after launch. I think the Ethereum team will ensure that Ethereum maintains its quality and trust which the coin have gained over the years and possibly grow to ATH.

Yes, you will see a new ATH, but you will need to learn how to join and wait for it to happen. I strongly believe this will happen between now and 2024. Given the current economic climate, many different reactions make the crypto market an attractive investment channel when it is of interest. It is common sense that ETH and crypto will find their own glory with more care and support.

Yes.

It's always the news that buys out and that's common in the market because that's when the pump really starts. And when it's done, we'll see the drop starts to come eventually.

Well, it still follows bitcoins move. So the likely of seeing the price of ETH goes on another ATH really depends on the market's behaviour and as well as bitcoins.

Maybe not now but when we're back in bulls again, we will.

Agree. I am not sure if there will be a new ATH for ETH after this merge, but there will be a strong Fomo wave pulling ETH up and we will wait and see if ETH can break the old ATH. Personally, I also feel worried for the future of ETH after it becomes POS, I feel sorry that ETH has switched to POS completely and is no longer a decentralized altcoin. Once decentralization is lost, ETH will suffer the same fate as the rest of altcoins, which are no longer so special.

One economist once said a brilliant thing: "If the Fed prints money, then the markets go up, if the Fed raises the refinancing rate, then the markets go down."
I think this is a temporary false growth, and then there will be a big haircut of the longists.

Not this year I guess, because the market condition is still very uncertain and many FUD out there. Many people still feel their losses from what they invest when the crypto prices are in their prime. Just prepare your capital when the right time comes then you can use it as you want. 

Only those who sell their ETH at cheap prices lose their money, many holders are still holding it strong...
Moreover, it was not the FUD stops the market to grow, FED and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine gives some influence, plus the economic crisis. ATH for ETH will certainly come but that only happens when the market is in bullish again. Think about 3-4 years from when halving arrives. Ohh, patience is really important.

Are you referring to the new ATH?, ETH's previous ATH was $4700 and currently ETH is trading at $1700, which is less than half of its previous ATH. It will be a very difficult task for ETH to reach a new ATH above the old ATH. Merge for ETH is the biggest and most anticipated event for the ethereum network but that doesn't mean there will be a big push to help ETH reach a new ATH, unless bitcoin and the entire market enter a bull cycle.

I have to agree with you. In terms of price, it is already baked in. We are all waiting for the ETH pump on merge day. The hype surrounding Ethereum 2.0 is expected to surge back to new all-time highs, according to a leading analyst! Could it be that those staked coins will dump right away after spending years stuck on the market? I wonder if Bitcoin would be pumped as well?

it is possible that the target of $10k to achieve ATH on Ethereum can be achieved but it is also possible that it will fail to reach the targeted ATH of $10k.
because the upcoming crypto cycle and the price of bitcoin also greatly affect price movements in other crypto assets, Ethereum is no exception.
if the bitcoin price decreases in the future, the market will experience a price decline and it will definitely make investors and traders hesitate to buy Ethereum, it will be very difficult for Ethereum to reach the ATH that has been targeted.

The gas fee attached to Ethereum based transactions is too much and many people I know are beginning to run away from it. Ethereum is popular because it network can also foster crypto-currency transactions and if the fees becomes too much of a problem people may be forced to jettison it. I have a strong feeling in know distance time Ethereum my not be as popular as it is.

Nah, it's like 3x from current prices, BTC at $20k and alt grow that much? Don't see it happening.

Seeing the progress of the ecosystem built in the ETH project is getting bigger every year, I have no doubt that ethereum can touch ATH again, although getting there may take a little longer but most likely when the next bullrun comes it will make ETH price movements experienced a significant increase because basically so far ETH has proven to be one of the coins that has strong potential.

I think the new ATH will be closer to the release of the transition of the ETH network to POS, this will give positive dynamics in the market, because many are waiting for this, how many times developers have already postponed the transition date...for example, I have not used the ETH network for a very long time because of my higher commissions, and when switching to POS, most users will be only too happy to use this network and of course due to demand, the price of ETH will grow.

I think the merge is going to have a big effect on the crypto space, the community and the ecosystem because there is going to be big changes in something like the transaction speed and the consensus mechanism in which the transaction is been processed and the big players who are running the proof of work may cause the price to reduce because many of them are going to sell.
We are going to see a new ATH but maybe in the new coming bull run, what we are going to see is going to be a short time increase in price and who knows what will happen that day, I pray the network does not go off and disappoint people.

The preliminary date of Ethereum's transition to the Proof-of-Stake algorithm is set for September 19, 2022 - https://twitter.com/superphiz/status/1547643255335968771. And I am sure that your expectations to see ATH before this date will not be fulfilled.

eth merge will have less significant influence against the current value, even honestly the rumour usually drive the value and once the merge actually realized the value usually become stagnant.
these kind of events has happened quite frequently in the past and usually the end result is the same, moreover btc is still stuck, so is ETH considering how much influence btc has.

Well it is ETH. Let's see first in Bitcoin. I have not seen Bitcoin breaching past 25k just yet, but hey let's see where it goes in the next couple of weeks.
Pretty sure that whales are just taking their sweet time grabbing all the bags as much as possible since many could have been selling at this point either from panic selling or due to being newb.

Of course, it was possible but probably not because of the merge, it is Bitcoin does the market uplift bring altcoins including ETH. In fact, this is a common scenario that we have seen even before and never I see any reason/s that could make ETH pumps separately without seeing Bitcoin also.
Yet, this possibly happens after halving, and certainly no doubt about it.

Well, anyways, the market is moving upward, however, that was not yet an indication of the bullish run but at least we know that there is still a big chance to see the market growing.

In recent weeks the growth of ethereum is felt high above bitcoin. Being the leader to the altcoins network it have got its importance same as that we've got bitcoin. There is no big selling taking place with ethereum. Recently more investors moved from bitcoin to ethereum that pumped the price of ethereum. The highest price prediction in recent days on ethereum is $12k+ and according to me this could happen when price of bitcoin pass $100k

Of course, after a successful merger on the Ethereum mainnet, there will be some price gains for this coin. But it cannot be expected that this will happen quickly and in a short period. A good price effect can only be linked to a general rise in prices in the market. We see that in recent weeks, the price of ethereum has risen quite well even in comparison with bitcoin. Therefore, there will be a positive effect from the successful completion of the ETH refresh, but it is unlikely to lead to a quick new ATH.

Yes, because many coins are preparing to take over the second position among other cryptocurrencies. I think, Ethereum is loosing population because of the high gas fee people are still experiencing in this bearish season which is not encouraging long term investors to continue with Ethereum than to try other coins that their gas fee is too low for investors to make a huge amount of income at the end of their investment. Now that many people are rushing to invest on binance, I think, binance will become second position among other cryptocurrencies in future because their teams are seriously working to make their customers enjoy a massive income from their investments in the future.

The gas fee has already come down when we compare it what it was in 2021 and it will fall further once merger is complete. I am a strong supporter of Ethereum network because it is first mover in this sector, secure and decentralized. Ethereum always leads the Alts market and  I think it will definitely break its previous all time high once bearish trend comes to an end. 

At the end of 2021 I am optimistic that the price of ETH can touch $ 5,000, at that time the transaction volume is very large and the transfer fee can reach $ 30, expensive gas costs make me think that hold and staking is a better option and of course regret because it skipping time to sell with The price is expensive, and now the price of ETH is around $ 1700 and in my opinion has the potential for rising again and buying is better.

In order for BNB to overtake the capitalization of ETH, it is necessary that the price of BNB increased 4 times, and the price of Ethereum remained the same. Do you really believe in such a development in the cryptocurrency market?

New ATH? IMO, I don't think so. It's Bitcoin that we must see hitting a new ATH first then maybe we could speculate a new ATH for ETH next to it.
But, as long as it's still here in the 20k mark we won't see any altcoin that will grow in exponential numbers.
Ethereum may have dropped the big bomb about the date given on the release of "The Merge" but it may not be enough to push a new ATH due to economic reasons too. It's not like we didn't expect this to happen, it will, it just took them longer.

not impossible that will happen. So far there is no limit for the cryptocurrency to continue growing and neither can its price be limited to its highs. If the market is bullish again, ETH which utility is the strongest among other coins may be very easy to attract the attention of traders and investors to put their money here.

BNB have a long way to go in the Crypto space. Sooner or after, BNB will pumped above it's previous ATH and retest to another Price value. It's all fact, but time will tell for the patient ones and BNB can over take ETH with time only if CZ entirely put his focus on Binance native coin. All exchange coins pump with no doubt but it's all deals with time. ETH on the other hand is working hand in hand with BTC which keeps dipping in the market, and it dump affects half of the market.

bnb or eth still be best coins in crypto space now, no matter its price still decline from previous ath. Both of them have huge demand from ecosystem and also from long term investors. When market totally recover , both of them will back to last ath and even create the new one. Position on coinmarkercap didnt important anymore, investors want to see its price rising.

Merging are mostly manifesting a positive outcome after that, so yes it’s possible to see ETH new ATH after that. However, expect that bitcoin will be the one to reach another all time high first, afterwards we will witness more altcoins are also influenced by the positive price of bitcoin. Ethereum is the next best asset next to bitcoin, so probably with or without merging, ethereum will always reach its new ATH.

The mid-May collapse of the Terra ecosystem has had a significant positive impact on Ethereum's locked total value (TVL). The transformation of Ethereum to a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus network, known as the Merger, is what is primarily responsible for the price movement's upward trend. Due to its great security and tested uses, investors are moving their decentralized financial (DeFi) deposits to the Ethereum network. Additionally, decreasing gas fees and smart contract deposits give ETH bulls little optimism.

However, indicates that the $1,600 support is currently weak as a result of dropping network use and smart contract deposit indicators.

we don't know what will happen in the future. but i believe that when ethereum has merged there will be a lot of good news that will attract investors to buy ethereum and hold it for the long term. when viewed from july although the price of ethereum has not fully increased but market volume has started to increase and this is one of the good news for ethereum.
i think that ethereum is really the best coin number 2 after bitcoin which will overtake the price of bitcoin in the future. and for now it might be time to buy ethereum and hold on to it for the long term

seeing the current market it might be difficult for ETH and other coins to return to ATH. but to reach ATH again, I don't think anything is impossible even if you have to wait a few more years

There can be no doubt that BNB is one of the most serious rivals of ETH out of all the altcoins, but for BNB to surpass ETH to become the king of altcoins, BNB still has a lot of work to do and a long way to go.

The current criteria of BNB, fast transaction speed, and low gas fees, as well as the fact that BNB is still too centralized and not what makes it so outstanding when compared to ETH, I think it still isn't appealing enough for developers and big investors in the market.

After the transition of Ethereum to Proof-of-Stake, BNB Chain will lose its advantage, consisting in high transaction speed and low commissions, on which it actually gained its popularity. Given this fact, it will be difficult for BNB to overtake Ethereum, especially since it is very much inferior to ETH in capitalization at the moment.

The Merge should give ETH a significant boost in price, but to surpass the old ATH, the probability of that is very low. The bear market is not over yet and the economy is still unstable so I think it is very difficult for ETH or any coin to break out at this point. It is better to wait for bitcoin halving, once bitcoin bounces back and reaches its ATH then maybe ETH and other coins will thrive.

not too sure if Ethereum will find ATH again in the future and a high of price is $4,891 being the last ATH for Ethereum although many people think that ethereum will find ATH in the bull market in the future. but that's just a thought from me. but all market conditions no one can know for sure. what will happen to ethereum, whether to find ATH or not.

For ethereum is a project that has always been a mainstay of all of us, so never hesitate to invest in the project, especially for now that a price drop is happening so this is our opportunity to be able to get big profits, if the value of bitcoin can increase again then the achievement of a new ATH for ethereum will definitely happen, then use this opportunity as well as possible.

Exactly, the market conditions are nowhere near ideal for ethereum to surpass its all time high, we must remember that just because a coin has good fundamentals and it goes through a process in which those fundamentals are improved that is still not enough to produce a new all time high.

We are still in a bear market and there are many other factors which are decreasing the desire of investors to take risks, so even if ethereum could rise in price I do not see how it could generate enough hype for such a massive run to happen.

It will eventually find the ATH once the trend changing direction.
eth quite literally has gone through the same cycle over and over and it isn't new thing for eth overall. many also doubtful back then when the market was getting massive correction and it lasts for few years but it could recover back to its ATH and even surpass it, I think reaching ATH again is easy.

reaching a new ATH for ETH is very possible for me. we are not talking a crap platform here but one of the top performing crypto projects. so there's no worry if they will achieve a new ATH. the question here is when? but if you do believe that ETH has good future, you can always invest some of your funds into this project anytime you feel you have your advantage of.

For those that are thinking on the long term the price of a ethereum is still very attractive, and while the question of when a new all time high could appear in the ethereum market is without a doubt important, it loses a great deal of its significance if you are willing to hold your coins for a very long period of time.

After all if you buy your coins right now you're still getting a very good price and the only thing that you will need to do is to wait for the all time high to appear, I understand that some people may think that this is a very passive strategy, but personally I only care about the results and we know that holding your coins for the long term, as long as they are good coins, is a very effective strategy.

Yeah without another bullish trend and ethereum will never able to reach ATH again. Bitcoin needs to reach ATH first. People must wait a few years to be passed and then they will be seeing another bullish trend come again. Talking about new ATH was a non sense thing since the market was still in a big bearish trend. Bitcoin is only moving slowly. The volume was not good  too. It's too early predicting about ethereum to reach new ATH

you are right. it's just that it's a matter of time. we believe that new ATH for ethereum will most likely be achieved again. however, it can happen unless there is a bull run of crypto, especially bitcoin, as well as a little development of ethereum to reduce the fees from the transaction. it will prop the price of ethereum to reach new ATH.
However, we don't know when this will happen, so for now all we can do is collect ethereum little by little until it becomes a lot, so that we don't miss it again. What's more I think this will take quite a long time because of the large number of FUDs currently available.

I agree with you without bitcoin make new ATH. Ethereum will not able to make ATH. but it seems bitcoin can make new ATH in the next couple years . after btc ATH another coins including Ethereum will also make ATH. All coins fluctuate in price based on Bitcoin . So for a coin to increase or decrease in price, the price of Bitcoin must change.

The merge is arguably ETH's biggest event since 2015 and it seems like people are putting a lot of hope into this event that will put ETH in a new position be it a new BTC takeover or a new ATH... lots of predictions around. Don't forget in this crypto market bitcoin is the ruler, no matter how successful the merge if bitcoin doesn't make any move, don't think of a new ATH for ETH. I can be pretty sure that ETH has a new ATH unless Bitcoin hits ATH first.

It is true that the increase in the price of Ethereum depends on how Bitcoin moves, because after all Ethereum like other altcoins its movement is
affected by the movement of Bitcoin. This means for Ethereum to return to the ATH price, it will have to wait for the Bitcoin price to recover.
The problem is Bitcoin is still moving steadily below the current $25k price, so we do have to be patient to wait for Ethereum to return to the ATH price.
So just take advantage of the current situation to collect Ethereum, moreover the price of Ethereum is still down 59% from the ATH price, meaning
that the price of Ethereum is still at a low price right now and don't regret that we missed buying Ethereum at a low price. Even if a bull market comes
there is a possibility for Ethereum to reach new ATH, in conclusion, long-term investments in Ethereum are always profitable.

This week the increase in ETH became the trigger for the market to move positively, this is reasonable because the influence of ETH is stronger than Bitcoin or other coins, token and exchanges that use ETH networks continue to increase so as to make the market move positively.

Hopefully, we don't have to wait for bitcoin to reach ATH again. Then, there will be an altcoin season. If that can happen, we will get profits back like last year, when the price of most altcoins started to increase and only after that did the price of bitcoin increase very high. So we may be patiently waiting for the market to bounce again and in the meantime, we are still allowed to buy various potential altcoins.

Are you still having doubts about Eth all this time? Every time a bull run takes place, Ether stays past the previous ATH. Unlike most of the other cryptos which were not able to get past ATH before. For example, EOS failed to reach ATH in its 2021 bull run. This is a failure in the concept of crypto development being crossed by the new crypto.

The price of Ethereum has already risen on the news of the merger. Before the merger, a number of events may occur, as a result of which the price of the coin will fall. There is again positive sentiment in the market and many traders will be long positions with leverage. And you know how it ends. A price drop of 50% kills all longs up to x2 leverage.

$10000 for Ethereum, I believe it can be achieved when the Ethereum merge has been launched,
and we will see how massive developments are for ethereum, I predict there will be more new projects that use Ethereum

Eth is one of the coins listed in the top 5 coin rankings.  if at this time each Eth has not experienced good price progress, it is false because of the current market conditions.  but if market conditions improve, eth will reach Ath again

It's a huge number for ETH, if ETH hits 20k$ then I think btc will hit 500k$ or more and it will take a very long time to achieve, maybe 10 years or more. But the question is that the ETH merge is still controversial and the possibility of a fork being created during this merge event. I think ETH will have a long way to go to prove that moving to POS is the right decision. The future of ETH remains uncertain after the move to POS.

If you are seeing from quarter chart and you will be seeing if it was also increasing drastically from below 1k to the 2k in a month. You need to visit CMC again and see the chart correctly but yeah new ATH is too good to be true right now I hope people will realize if there was no chance for ethereum to go far like that. Ethereum is facing a good price progress and you are wrong about that.

It is difficult in the near future to achieve ATH for Ethereum, because the market reaction has not shown bullish in the near future, the habit of achieving ATH is very dependent on how bitcoin reacts, although not all of them are the same way, meaning if the market starts showing a positive reaction and some coins start to rise, then it is possible ATH achievement will occur. But judging by the current market scheme, there is no sign of that happening yet, or that a complete recovery could be the start of a general crypto bull run

I am quite agree with you, PoS coins usually not too promising because it is not decentralized anymore for me.
The one who have more coin will be able to get more coin from PoS, which make the coin can be easily monopolized by someone or company.
Just look at Bitcoin that stay going PoW, the value is very high and keep increasing from the beginning until now.

This time the upside scheme is a little different, where Ethereum can move positively until there is an increase in the coins that use their network, on the other hand Bitcoin also has a slight increase, but it is not clear whether this is a recovery phase or just manipulation, but the influence of Ethereum is stronger than mine Bitcoin think it's wrong, because the trigger of a positive trend is not always related to bitcoin reactions

While it is true that a lot of people have their reservations about proof of stake coins at this point it is impossible for the ethereum developers to take a step back, and while I think it is going to increase the popularity of ethereum during the short term I also think that it is not going to be good for them over the long term.

The miners will have no option but to leave, and many people that believe that decentralization is key for the development of a coin will simply leave ethereum as well, maybe they will still use their money to trade ethereum and try to speculate with it, but they will have no interest in holding ethereum for the long term.

Possible, but not so realistic currently. That is like a prediction for Bitcoin to reach 6 digit figure (though Bitcoin is much closer to it). There will be a right time for that to happen. Though we can't blame these people for being to optimistic as we all consistently witnessed how ETH has improved their project every year, but there are also these people who's just hyping things up for their own personal gain, especially in Twitter.

It is this circumstance that can negatively affect the price of ETH after the merger. Thus, all cryptocurrency exchanges will become the largest validators, respectively, the network will become more centralized. And when most market participants realize that Ethereum is now controlled by such whales as Coinbase and Binance, they may turn away from ETH.

in addition to relying on bitcoin movements, ethereum only has one month before the merge, which is not enough time for ethereum to reach new ath
the highest ath eth previously achieved was around $4.5k, which means ethereum will be x2.5 times the current price. that's a very difficult thing to do in a bear market

I believe that when we turn into PoS then we could see 20k. Because, by that time we would probably be in a bull run which would mean that the price would go up and that alone is a good enough reason that we could see 10k probably. Secondly when we turn, miners who mine ethereum will end up not mining it, it will be rewarded for "holding" it and that means people will want to buy as much as possible and hold it instead of sell it.

This should increase the price to 20k or at least increase it to a high level even if it fails to do it for 20k. That’s the important topic here and that’s why I believe that being bullish on ETH is not a wrong move to do right about now.

Are you expecting $10k over the next 2 years? I think you are overly optimistic. As usual, eth price increases with each new cycle, but I think your expectations are too high. $3k is likely to be reached next on the next bull run, but $10k is unlikely, let alone eth flip btc. That definitely won't happen.

The price of ETH has fallen drastically to this day since it touched $2000 a few days ago and I think the price speculation is still unpredictable considering the bear market hasn't really gone away, so I just took ETH below the price of $1500 waiting for it to recover to $3000 after the merge

The next ATH target of $10 is not high because in the previous ATH cycle some people assumed it was difficult to reach $3k but in fact every ATH price is very high. So it's definitely $10k for potential new ATH but it will take a few years to hit the highs.

Why not? it almost reach $5,000 during the last bull run if I'm not mistaken, and that will be just x2 of it so it's very possible that it can be touch. Specially that they have this merger in the horizon, as it almost push the price to $2,000 and maybe next month when it will be roll out, it could hit $2,000++ for that big news.

So the potential is there, as we all know that Ethereum is the prime mover as far as altcoin market is concern. It will just take patience a lot of them as the next bull run might be in two years, 2024-2025.

It seems like so many people have been waiting for another bottom trend. Bitcoin will make it happen. I remember when so many people are even expecting it will be reaching new ATH. Those people must be so dumb to think that wil happen. Ethereum will not get a long term hype caused by the merged update. The hype already gone and it seems like that ethereum was going back again to the before merged announcement.

In the crypto space everyone knows that Bitcoin is called the king of cryptocurrencies, but Ether is called the king of altcoins. Basically, new smart contracts have been developed through this Ether blockchain, and this Ether Blockchain has also played a role for the first time in the NFT world. Ethereum blockchain able to perform variety of tasks. It is currently priced at $1600 and we will see its new ATH next bull market.

ethereum is the king of altcoins, and its potential to hit new ATH is huge indeed. however, some of the factors that might hinder this development are the fees which are quite expensive. however, once this is done, I'm pretty sure there will be a lot of people going back to the ether blockchain, and that could push the price of ethereum even higher. especially if it is added to the bull market. the potential to reach a new ATH will definitely be even greater.

yes but I see after the successful merge later there might be an increase in ETH so I will take that moment, so I'm not sure it will go down again below $1000 , I guarantee the bear market will end in the near future

It's still too early to think about ATH for Ethereum, we did hear some good news, and an Ethereum Merge could boomerang too,
as the move from PoW to PoS will also impact miners, especially when there's news that miners are looking for a replacement for Ethereum,
and what they say is Ethereum Classic, yes there is no definite information, but in fact the price of Ethereum classic has increased.

We can't say for sure when the last bear market occurred this year, but we are very grateful if the bear market is sufficient for August and not prolonged because the market price has fallen drastically from the beginning of last year and we are looking forward to the recovery of the current high price

The price of Ethereum Classic has been increasing since the beginning of last July, so I think there is a correlation from the ETH mining news update, if it is rumored that miners will switch to ETC then it is certain that the price will increase significantly from now but we have to consider this rumor because we might not be late to buy ETC at a lower price.

I think we should update the information for ETH and ETC because it's not necessarily miners will look for other alternatives besides ETH, even though the price of ETC has gone up but we don't have to buy it at a high price and we should look for more information in the ETH miner community.

I still haven't seen Ethereum being able to reach new ATH again, because in Ethereum Merge of course there will be parties who feel disadvantaged, especially miners,
I've seen on youtube about miner profiles, that if Ethereum changes it to PoS then of course the miners will feel a loss,
because they are required to sell their VGA, or switch from Ethereum to another coin that supports the algorithm, of course it's not easy,
and maybe the price is still 50:50, will Ethereum be destroyed, or Ethereum will triumph. very interesting to look forward to

I'm of the opinion that the PoS would bring about a positive impact on the value of ethereum. I really don't understand how miners earning would be inimical to the value of eth. Miners tends to dump the ethereum they earn to take care of the huge costs associated with PoW, this would change with the PoS and there would also be a burning mechanism effected on the ethereum blockchain which would contribute to the increase in value.

A new ATH can happen to Eth , everyone can speculate the price on any coin
but in my mind to achieve a new ATH I think it is still too far and I don't know when it can be done, hope is only hope because we hope BTC, and ETH have new ATH this year

Eth is not like an ordinary altcoin but eth is also like a bitcoin. They are the main coin here in cryptos. Eth don't totally rely in bitcoin because as we can see eth is already moving in its own even if bitcoin is stagnant and going down sometimes.

One month is still long and eth price still continues to rise. It is possible that it can reach a new ath but if not within month then what about after the merge? Because, usually the real effect will happen after a big event and not before it. Plus the op didn't say any conditions. He is just expecting if eth is possible to reach a new eth during this bearish season. But even if without a new ath, an increase that eth is showing now is still nice.

That's the greatest thing about ethereum right now, it has been the king and helper of all projects under its blockchain. This means that it is not big just because coin itself is good, it is big because there are many projects under ETH that keeps it high.

BSC and BNB happened to be the same way and why it's high too. I know that it is going to be a pretty big fall if it ever gets a problem or a bug or anything like that, which is why it's looked at so carefully by the developers. I believe the future is bright and it's going to be unreal and even have a chance to flip bitcoin if you ask me, that's what I am looking for from ETH and maybe it won't happen but it won't hurt to give it a try.

Ethereum is a cryptocurrency that always promises the best to its investors, but before we can expect a new ath from it, we have to wait for a new ath from Bitcoin first. It may not be the right choice to wait for a new ath when Bitcoin is so affected by the turmoil in the global markets and the global markets are in such a bad state.

Guys, I have a question: I heard that when people stake/lock their ETH into the Beacon chain, they cannot sell those funds right after the merge in September, but it will still take a long time before they can sell.
Is this true, and at what point can they sell?
