Hello,
If someone has made a loss in buying and selling Ethereum, what is your suggestion? Should he\she hold Ethereum?
Is it possible for the price to reach $2300 before Christmas?

Thanks.

This issue needs to be approached comprehensively; of course, it is still necessary to understand what kind of losses, if not high losses, then it is better to freeze the transaction and transfer it to stemcoins if you have not analyzed the project enough or in this case ether, but if there are large losses and even more so if it is ether or cue ball, then you can wait for your growth, maybe even a year or two.

it’s important to know what is happening is this a temporary dip that you need to wait out or is it something you need to get out of and quickly? are you in this for the long term or the short term?

probably the reason behind ethereum’s decline in price is bitcoin’s incline in price most likely that most investors are now focusing the most at bitcoin and taking their money to put in bitcoin


yes most predictions conclude that eth can reach 2300 before the year ends

Well I will say the same thing for ethereum and bitcoin. I do not think there is any reason for wanting to sell them. And why do you want to sell them before christmas? If you need it for christmas money I do not think you should.

We are now in a 'bull market' so it is not a good time to sell any of your coins. I do not know if you have to get the money right now but this is the only reason to sell them how market is.

I think so its not that far from its current price $2200 so that level isnt close to possible. We dont know the potential market on christmas day but as you can see the market tends to go up together with other assets or stocks especially gold. I think even $3k is possible if this continue considering there is no major pull back happened.

Yes, if there's an altcoin that everyone is waiting to go up then that's Ethereum. Looking at the past month's chart of it you'd be amazed because it moved like Bitcoin that time but this time it doesn't and that's normal. How big is the loss depending whether you shoud continue to hold or not but regardless, I'd still say to HODL.

Dude, we are at $2231 and if you're asking if it's going to be possible to reach that price before Christmas day. Definitely, it's very possible to see that price and can even be more than that. What you guys have to do is to hold if you don't want to add some anymore. That's all what you gotta do but if you have all the means to buy some more then that's an advantage and you're doing yourself a favor with that because as you hold, you add some more.

just hold on, ethereum coin is a good project and not a shitcoin, you don't need to worry about holding it for a long time, because all it takes is time and patience, that's why holding coins in the long term requires patience.

Unless you have sold all of your Ethereum you are still in the game to recover your loss and make a profit. Keep on holding and if the market keeps on staying in the green zone you would make enough profit. It is not that easy to predict the price of any cryptocurrency as there is always the factor of uncertainty in the crypto universe which can stop Ethereum from reaching the price point you are seeking. But looking at the present situation where the price of Ethereum is already above $2200 it won't be hard for it to reach $2300 before the 25th of this month.

Hello,
Thanks for all replies.
I lost about $100 :(.

Usually Christmas day many holder sell their assets for celebrating with most crucial day for Christians person, have many edition when Christmas day bitcoin get little correction and I sure get impact with ethereum will drop few percent. Left twenty days later before Christmas days and current ETH price still on the top around $2237. Don't worry for OP you can get profit with Ethereum have many days left before Christmas day and your loss will recovery soon.

I am so excited with Ethereum for investing exactly for long term holding, have good and faster movement for Ethreum than other altcoin and they have positive side without any exchange coins make Ethereum easily for going up to higher price without any drama yet like BNB have been dropped drastically.

I agree with you during Christmas period. I think the etherium in quest will fall a little bit. Not only etherium but also Bitcoin will also be involved. Festive period is a great influence to the crypto market. Because of constant seling of coin to celebrate Xmas will definitely affect the growth of bitcoin and etherium.

This is little bit difficult to predict that Ethereum will cross $2300 or not. But if anyone will hold for more time. So I think this will easily grow and will go $3000+.
Because many companies also filled spot ETF Ethereum too. So I hope if they will get approval so the Ethereum price can go $3000+ or even more.
And if only Bitcoin will get approval then Ether can go up too. So in both cases Ethereum can go up so I will recommend if anyone is in loss so s/he should hold tight even s/he will get profit.

We actually didn't loss our funds for buying Ethereum if we just hold it we can sell it later when it hit on our target. Also current happening especially the bullish condition for ethereum is really promising that's why even if we lose today we can still possibly earn since there's possible bullrun that might happen for it and also for sure that the target price you are looking for is really reachable since Ethereum's price is currently at $2200+ today and maybe tomorrow if bullish state or what you called hype continue it touch at that figures. For sure many people are in profit today since we see Ethereum move so good and it can possibly reach maybe up to $2,500 on next following day or maybe on the day you have said.

Hodl is best to do since there's a lot to happen and for sure you don't want to miss something especially when seeing Ethereum to reach its new milestone.

That target is not difficult, and right now D.BTC is reaching a state where many people also expect that correction and the money flow will actually pour more into altcoins. With the large ETH position coming with a lot of positives on the outside, I still remember the proposed Ethereum ETF, and I understand that this will be part of the reason for more investor attention.

But if it's not too time-limited, I think it's always worth holding in a long-term portfolio, perhaps expecting more of a new ATH.

It already hit that number but there's no assurance if it will go back there before or after Christmas. January though seems to have a high percentage to make it happen and better, beyond that.
Ethereum is one of the highest reputable projects out there and Ethereum ETF is also being applied by popular investment firms. You might want to check the recent news about them so that you will have an idea of why their value could climb up one more time and maybe it will hit the ATH again.
Also, do consider that whenever Bitcoin goes up, Ethereum is also being dragged by that climb and it's in history charts. These two coins have the highest assurance that they can reach numbers that will make our eyes wide.

This is the million dollar question! :D The greatest probability is that yes, we are in an upward trend, take advantage of the movement, next year we have the halving, anything regarding sales now would be compared to premature ejaculation.

If you are in profit, sell 50% of it. Christmas to Chinese new year  is considered to be slow days for crypto trading. The market remains sideways or falls at this time.
As Ethereum has gained a good percentage and it could go through a correction. The price rise comes in waves and we might get chance to buy it back cheaper at later time.
Selling 50% and keeping the rest would save you from FOMO as well as loss. No one can guarantee the market movement, so its upto us to play safe.

No one can predict absolutely exactly what will happen to the price of Ethereum, but there are prerequisites for growth. I think investing in Ethereum would be the best option, since this asset has shown its reliability and stability in the cryptocurrency market.

  In the first place, I'm not a fan of Ethereum, and I also don't have any holdings in it, although I knew it was one of the good alts to hold in the long term. Maybe I just don't feel or want to hold it, but if I look at the fee as expected by most people, it's actually very expensive.

  But let me try to guess what its price value will be before the end of this month of December. I think it will play for $2300–$2700 each. When that happens, it will be lucky for those who have holdings.

This could be big for you already but don't lose hope. The market is just getting started and entering the bull run. As Bitcoin goes in the bull, the same goes with Ethereum that's going to have its bull run following it. Many of us are holding Ethereum so you are not alone holding it. You can keep and hold it until you're able to recover.

He's not in profit, he just said that he's on loss and that's $100.

Yes, it's known for being reliable and that's why despite that OP is at a loss. He's still be able to recover then when the market gets the confirmation that we're in the bull run, though we're actually in it already.

In small speculations without experience, beginners always lose. In the long term this coin looks very good and I am not selling it. If you need money, then record your loss and pay for the lesson, and if you want to earn money, then invest 5-10% of your income in cryptocurrencies every month.

today the price of ETH has reached 2300$ per day I think before Christmas ETH will fly higher my prediction is that ETH will touch 3000$ before Christmas but that's just my prediction don't follow me 100% keep doing your own research so you don't lose in investing

Ethereum has indeed crossed $2350 before the Christmas. Hope you'll be able to sell at profit. Selling all of them would not be a good idea either.
The price rise was sudden an it's now time to see if the price supports over $2300. If it does, we could get a $2500 next.
Other coins are too are in a boost mode, solana hit $65. If the coins kept on breaking the resistance, there would be none till they break their all time high.

Hello,
The strange thing is that no one can really predict the market. So what is the use of trading knowledge!!!

What dip are you talking about? ETH has been rapidly rising from october and does look like it's about to blow up.

Weird question to ask, it can move that % over a day like we just saw. And since it has been slowly growing over month, why would have it stopped under 2300? Does that number contain some sort of meaning? And why is christmas an important milestone? Were you thinking of cashing out then?

Since the market is moving bullishly gradually, we might be surprised to see more bull trend in the market with time coming.
For us to utilize this opportunity, we need to make sure that we buy as many Ethereum we want to because this will be a good opportunity for everyone that are holding strong coin projects that would take off soon with huge liquidity. We are all in the market to make profits for ourselves and we should always be ready to hit the target to get amazing profits.

no one can accurately predict the behavior of the market, it is simply impossible, there are many situations that can affect one moment both positively and negatively. Ethereum shows an increase of +14% over the week, will it go further, yes, it looks like that. But be 100% sure of this impossible.

Not a financial advice! I think the person should just hold on to their Ethereum until it gets to where they target. Nothing comes easy and the earlier we learn this, the better we can know to make certain decisions like this. Your Ethereum is not a loss unless you sell prematurely; just have the same fraction you purchased. The amount is always the same, while the value fluctuates. So simply wait for when the fluctuations will favour you.

$2,300 is possible as long as volatility is involved. It could be some news or hype and the next moment, it’s there. But don’t put so much thought in that.

Ethereum has already reached your target price, I do not know if that was your breakeven price or the price at which you will be willing to sell but this seems like a bad moment to sell, if you bought ethereum near its ATH and you have been holding your coins since then, you could spend a few more months or even a year and you will see that ethereum will make upward movements during that time, besides if you have held your coins through the bear market why sell now when we are so close to the bull market?

The price of ETH is already near that but that is the current resistance level i think. In the long term ETH is a pretty good altcoin to hold onto. So if someone is in a loss in for buying ETH in a high price, he should wait and if possible buy more in a regular basis to lower the average buy. If bitcoin makes 100k in the next bull season the ETH will hit 10k for sure. So i hope that guy hasn't bought ETH above the previous all-time high. So the best approach will be to increase the portfolio of ETH or hold what is left of it to recover because the price of ETH will grow higher.

Meanwhile, the price of Ethereum has touched up to $2382. The price of ethereum may go higher around Christmas. If someone has lost a lot of money investing in ethereum, I would say that he should stay invested for a long time. Ethereum market will make better position very soon, nothing to worry here.

As of posting this, $2350 for the price of Ethereum. And there you go, it happened before Christmas. Now, time for you to set another amount for you to have another goal before Christmas happens or before this year ends.

Not just possible but it actually happened already. He has to check his portfolio if he's no longer in losses or he needs some more bump to the price to at least break even.

I actually didn’t check as I was assuming the old price of some hours ago. Haha! Well, I guess we have it; $2,300 indeed. Even if it was a few amount away from the target $2,300, one still has to be careful because volatility can do anything. It is very possible that it gets to $2,299 without achieving the desired target. Thank you for tagging me to this though.

Already the price had crossed $2300 and the peak price is recorded close to $2400. Depending on the growth of bitcoin will be the market movement of Ethereum and majority of the altcoins. In comparison with Bitcoin the growth hasn't been found similar with Ethereum. When the trend changes we can expect the price to be good an high than what is being predicted.

I have to look at what the price he's talking and maybe he has taken a mistake like making it as $3,300? I don't know. But yes, we're already on it and that's no longer a discussion for him if it's possible because it actually did.  ;D

No problem mate, it's just a little stuff and OP is the main concern here if he's already satisfied to see that Ethereum hit the number that he's talking and asking about if it's possible or not.

well if you are in the bullish most of the time it'd just go up for majority of these coins anyway. so it depends on the trend itself but its true that we can't be 100% sure after all we all here already know how volatile the market can be and in any investment nobody have any idea what the future will have, whether the investment gonna go up or go down we will never have clue, even those so called expert analyst with sufficient data at their hands are still making mistake quite frequently so don't expect anyone without sufficient data to perform some kind of divination.
but i'm pretty confident with the ethereum price I think it wll eventually reach greater heights in the upcoming christmas quite contrary to the general belief that at the end of the year there will be some bearish because this time around its gonna be different.

ETH is definitely good for long term investment has potential to reach new ATH, but an prediction for Christmas is something which is really difficult to predict. I would say as long as Bitcoin is trending high there wouldn't be any issues and if Bitcoin dips then there are chances of breaking the ETH's momentum as only some really bad news about ETH like some controversies or Bitcoin dump can pull the ETH down nothing else as of now.

I have invested into ETH when it was in single digit and have good profit and never been a loss in ETH because it hodled during bearish market.

Looking back on the previous years, Christmas and New Year has always bring bearish trend to the market, people are cashing out their investment to be prepared for holiday and vacation. So, if my portfolio is currently red, I usually wouldn't expect any green until at least february/march next year.
But all that being said, you might still get some hope because recently market show some positive trend, tho we never know when it will bounch back down, just don't get your hopes too high.

I think there is nothing to lose if you buy ETH. this is a nice coin. The losers are those who sell at low prices when buying at high prices. For your prediction, ETH will be $2300 before Christmas, it has arrived and the price is now $2386, just waiting for the price to reach $2500 in the near future.
​

$2300 is extremely conservative. It only took a few hours to reach that price. After Bitcoin's rally took a pause some altcoins have started to pump. Ethereum is looking strong right now and I expect it will continue to be bullish for the remainder of the month. For Christmas I would say $2500 is a reasonable target.

I sold some of my Ethereum coins just before the last relatively sharp increase in the price of this coin and its current growth does not make me very happy. For now, I hope for a correction for the upcoming Christmas and New Year holidays. I think there will still be price fluctuations before the Bitcoin halving. Before the expected big growth, whales almost always arranged for prices to fall. This is a very good technique to skimp on the eve of a big bull period. But for now, Ethereum may continue to rise for some time.

ethereum is good altcoin, so why worry about it? it's not random altcoin so must be it will increase in future no way to make lose in ethereum i think.
if now loses need to hold for the long term until recover the loses. it's current price is 2360$+

Especially if you believe in the long-term potential of cryptocurrencies. So my advice would be to hold on to Ethereum. After Bitcoin, Ethereum is the only coin that has shown much bullrun in the market. Many may have sold Ethereum in the current market uptrend and many are holding it, but I think Ethereum should be a thoughtful decision. Short-term price movements in the cryptocurrency market are difficult to predict, although it has already crossed $2300, but I am optimistic that it will cross $2400 before Christmas.

That just it to be in a safer side.

As of this time it already exceeded your expectations. We’re just 17 days before Christmas and Ethereum is already up $2,300+, but I could be wrong if there’s a pullback that would happen anytime.

Before my Metamask ETH wallet got hacked, I bought Ethereum when it was still around $200 that time and it is one of my major altcoins. Could have been 11x for me! It was my mistake of not transferring it to my Ledger due to being very complacent. Thankfully my sister’s ETH is still here untouched, but she bought it at a price of $2,100 during the 2021 bull run.

I would gladly sell my profits and keep the capital if that’s the case when I am already happy with my gains. 

If the momentum keeps going further for the bulls, I can see ETH’s price between $2,400 to $2,500 by the end of 2023.

Yes holding bitcoin is a good decision and if you don't need money then hold until it gives you greater success, Christmas is near and hopefully price will rise but I think holding of Ethereum should be keep until halving because Bitcoin will hit the value of above 70k$ which will have positive influence on the Ethereum also.

Long term also requires patience but another thing is the amount of money which should not be used for another purpose because if a person has a lot of patience but taking out money from Ethereum become necessary for another aim then there is no role of patience here therefore choose Ethereum only when you can manage all the rules of crypto. There is no doubt about Ethereum surge but its up to you that how long you hold it.

maybe if you say what altcoin is good for preparing for the next bull run, ETH, in my opinion, is the king of altcoins. ETH is still far from its all time high. I think during the bull run, eth will also make new history and you said whether eth can touch 2300$ before Christmas? the price has passed your target and my eth will also hit 3000$ at Christmas but it's just my speculation, what do you think?

of course holding Ethereum is the right choice, because the price of Ethereum will definitely increase very high when the bullrun occurs, so you will not lose if you hold Ethereum and my prediction if the market conditions continue to improve like now until Christmas, then of course the price of Ethereum can definitely reach at least $2,300, so it all depends on market conditions and the price of Bitcoin, because if the price of Bitcoin increases and the market continues to recover, then of course the price of Ethereum will also increase and reach your desired target before Christmas.

Ethereum in connection with other Altcoins can be rated far above  others, it is sometimes compared to Bitcoin while others sees it as a successor to Bitcoin.
If you have purchased Ethereum at a price at which you deemed it fit and it has fallen in price below your entry price, the question you need to ask your self is, what is my profit if I should sell now below the price I invested. You gain nothing, so it is best you hold on and observe, definitely there will be a pump in Ethereum as it's pump is closely associated with the growth of Bitcoin.

Assuming the price of Bitcoin before the festive season, can not be absolute correct but laying speculation is just hoping for the best to happen as everyone will love to see the better part of the market.

with current pace of growth reaching $3k is a piece of cake but reaching it at christmas is what I would doubt. after all there's not much time left but honestly it only requires on bullrun and then ethereum could easily reached $3k but speaking from past chart historical data I think the rise will be slowly but sure, but we still have news about the ethereum ETF as well, currently i think though the bullrun will be more focused on the bitcoin and any altcoin that are strongly related with bitcoin like ORDI, other than that we will be waiting for the altcoin season in the future.
moreover, the fact I also expecting ethereum demand to kept on increasing due to the presence of many new projects that requires staking Ethereum, it just simply a good bright future for ethereum.

Maybe this is a Christmas present for you ;) for one year 2023 is currently the highest price, then try to check your portfolio, what % of profit have you made from hodl ethreum from the first time you bought? currently $2362 (https://id.tradingview.com/symbols/ETHUSD/?exchange=CRYPTO) is more than $60 per piece of eth from your expectations, it could even potentially go to $2400, if you intend to find more value there is nothing wrong if you sell the profit you get. If you are sure to hold the rest of it towards next year ethreum will continue to increase of course you don't worry, especially if you can hold it and even increase it maybe after the Christmas period has passed. I'm just imagining when I'm in your position, of course it's confusing  ??? there are needs and investments should not be a separate fund, but it's your right to enjoy the results at any time.

I'm not sure why you are setting such a short-term ETH price target at Christmas? Indeed, seeing the cumulative momentum is highlighting ETH's value in sync with the bullish trend. Assuming any upside comes from the bitcoin ETF effort, the altcoin will need to wait for new signals. Be patient and wait, we are still in the "warm-up" phase of the cycle. It's good, in any case you should HOLD because you can accumulate more ETH in your wallet in the next 1-2 years to see its next ATH price. I'm waiting for the excitement when Blackrock ETF's ETH points are approved, it's time to take profits. Just buy and hold,…

I was even thinking it would not achieve that price of $2300, but to my greatest supprise I can see that it has met your expectation and even more. That is to say by the end of this Xmas it might hit $2700 because it's growing alongside BTC.

The current price of ETH is above 2300 USD, and I don't think it will stop here. From the middle of this year to now, the spotlight seems to belong to Bitcoin, and all eyes and capital are pouring into Bitcoin. Still, in the near future, I think it will be the stage for ETH to explode, especially with the upcoming Cancun update.

If you are a holder, I don't think you will incur losses by holding ETH. Are you referring to future trading, or are you still holding ETH purchased at a high price in the previous cycle? If you are holding ETH regardless of the purchase price, I advise you to hold onto it. The upcoming trend suggests that reaching the 3500 USD mark for ETH is achievable.

I don't understand what you mean because currently the price of ETH is already around $2300  :-\
If you want to hold ETH, buy ETH now because the current price of ETH is still worth buying and ETH is one of the altcoins that is very worth investing in. When we talk about investment we don't talk about Christmas but the most important thing is the upcoming bullish.

Investing in ethereum right now is a very good move, there may be some people that are not very convinced about this as they have witnessed the price of ethereum going up roughly at the same rate of bitcoin, however this is precisely why I think it is a good idea to invest in ethereum now, as if ethereum can keep up with bitcoin when the altcoin season has not even appeared, then can you imagine how high the price of ethereum will go once it does?

I think OP wrote this post when. Ethereum never $2300. Buying and holding till December isn't an investment. A long term holder is what we can call investment.

December 7 is the post of OP, that time the price of Ethereum is already trading near $2,300.

With what happened recently in Ethereum, I believe as long as Bitcoin will hold above $40,000 until this year ends, Ethereum will also hold $2,000 then I can say we can still go higher.

Today alone, ethereum has fallen quite sharply to $2,246; it is difficult to predict what will happen in the future. But I really agree with the colleague above that if you really want to buy ethereum, of course now is the time, and it doesn't look like there will be any surprises related to Christmas this year. Instead,  what you are waiting for is when the bull market will start to enter. because next year will enter the halving era, and usually there will be a correction first before finally starting an increase.Once again, as long as there is a good opportunity and sufficient funds, don't delay the time to buy before the opportunity is missed.

I can’t quote you a number, but it’s often seen that whenever Bitcoins go up in price, Ethereum and other major alts follow it. So there is high possibility that in the next bull run when the price of Bitcoins reach new ATH price, ETH will also go up and might break its ATH price. So I would suggest you to hold the coins and don’t sell now. Wait for the bull season to start.

That's right, it will coincide when Bitcoin goes to Halving, usually in 4 years there will be an increase in prices for all digital currencies, not just Ethereum, but all Crypto in all markets will soar, so there is an opportunity for everyone to hold Crypto which he thinks is worth investing in. It's not a coin that doesn't have a selling price in the market, it will be a loss later..

Once the price of Bitcoin rises, ETH and some altcoins are deemed to follow the trend. Therefore, we don't have to look on the situation of ETH but rather look at Bitcoin. The good thing is that we saw the price keep moving which means that this month people are happy, people got their reward from holding and waiting. Selling is always an option but it was best to save it for the best when Bullrun comes. Might miss the $45k this holiday season but it's much more when waiting after halving.
ETH is one of the promising projects in the crypto market, it won't disappoint us if we hold until 2025.

Hey, making losses is the less glamorous side of the crypto rollercoaster, right? As for holding Ethereum, it's like having a complicated relationship – depends on your long-term view. If you believe in its potential and the tech behind it, holding might make sense. But hey, predicting the exact price before Christmas? That's like asking your tired GPS to guess your ETA when you're already stuck in traffic. It's a wild ride, my friend.

Of course ETH will rise in the bull season, but we need to see that it is very impossible to predict the time until before Christmas, because it is only a few days away, it is a difficult step that can be taken if someone is investing short-term.

You are right, when Bitcoin goes up it is certain that ETH will also go up and we will find that in the next year, yes, the best choice is to keep holding the ETH that you have because it is certain to get a profit, I myself am very sure of the potential in the next year, making short-term investments is too risky OP, I hope you rethink it. and also you think of trading the future if you don't understand it.

BTW usually at Christmas, BTC will go down, with the logic that some people take the money to go on vacation and share gifts with family.

If someone buys any coin/token now, I enjoin the person not to fear but to hold it as long as possible. Holding our coins/tokens for more than 1 year now can't end in regrets because we are in the bullish season. I hope this settles your case.

And if you are still new in the world of cryptocurrency, I advise you not to entertain fear but to learn how the market works. Learn the project you are investing in and know the technical and fundamental sides of them so that they can be your guide while you invest at all times. Thankfully, you invested in Ethereum, and I believe that it is going to hit its ATH overtime soon. Hitting even more than $5000 over time will not be an issue and everyone should be happy by then.

Yet, your question is misleading as Ethereum itself hit above $2300 on the very day you made this post. Maybe it still buttresses to you being panic about the position, I don't know. Regardless, always trade/invest calmly and only use the money you can afford to lose all the time, not the one that will be causing panic for you as I sensed it here.

Cryptocurrency investment is not something you key into and thinking to have profit within one day, one week, one Month or one Year but years to come. And Ethereum is not an investment scheme to get rich quick. But is a long term goal investment like Bitcoin. If the person is investing for a long period then he should invest in Ethereum but if it is to make make in a short time  then I will advise him to go for trading. Because there is no way some buy Ethereum when it was low and now that it on the rise, the person would never loss so I don't know how the person invested on it that made him to loss the coin in the investment.

And right now as Bitcoin price is coming down, Ethereum price too is coming down. The current price now is $2,220.65.  And anyone who is investing in Ethereum should hodle it till the price get to the ATH.

The answer is, no one knows. The crypto market is unpredictable and you can't know for sure what will come next. We can make a prediction based on recent market movements but that becoming true is never guaranteed. I can make a prediction but as the word suggests, it's a prediction. The reality could be entirely different from this.
It is better to do it on your own. If you keep following other's advice or analysis in the crypto world, you may not be able to navigate it freely. It should be done by you and the final choice should be yours.
The crypto world is for everyone but not everyone has the ability to live in this world. You need to be able to find a way to survive on your own. Your loss is someone else's profit in this world. Remember this and seek for that one thing that will help you survive. Do it on your own. It's more fun that way.

the bull season already starting but we all know every bull season starting there are definitely unique factors that help the bullrun to be realized and in this case of the current market would be the news of ETF approval for ethereum and bitcoin, once the news about approval finally out thats the time the market kick in I guess i term of having massive rally and feel the bullrun at least thats what supposed to be happening in the future if things went smoothly.
moreover, when it comes to ethereum that we are talking about, we can just simlpy see the overall gas fee and also trading volume if it increase, bullrun is imminent, after all, ethereum one of the most utilized blockchain in existence, sometime the fee surpass bitcoin and even right now I think the fee already surpass bitcoin kinda speaks volume about the traffic of ethereum tbh.

are you for short term? because you are asking just this christmas meaning you wanted to take out the funds ? 2232 is the proce of Ethereum right now and you are asking just 2300  means its 68 bucks before it reaches that price and I think it will be easy as 123 for Ethereum breaking that.
but he is not for long term because he is asking just this Christmas

The price of every crypto projects can turn out to be very volatile doing the consolidation moves and charts. We're in the months of financial breakthroughs, and we should never underestimate any other clubs other than pressing in for our sleepless nights and all day work on projects. Buying and selling ethereum can be triggered when there's strong evidence of either a bull or bear season. We're humans and not perfect, we are open to new opportunities everyday in the space, seeking knowledge is also important, that's one of the easiest way to grow in the space.

Top crypto coins are better to hold for the long term, despite how the market trends and their prices dip, they'll eventually find there way back to the to top and become more profitable again. So I'll also advise OP to continue holding his Ethereum, hopefully the price will reach and even surpass his expectations. Until we reach the peak of Bitcoin bull run, investors will continue to be focusing more on it, when in the peak investors will use their profits from Bitcoin, to buy altcoins, which will experience their bull run too. When altcoins, are in bull run, we'll be very certain that Ethereum, will take the lead in being profitable, so again if it's possible to hold your Ethereum, till bull run, then don't hesitate to do so.

If Christmas should be the reason why people want to sell out ethereum their is no need for that because the Christmas season is just a distraction,  it will come and go and after all the celebrations people will regrets in spending all there money. It is better to still hodl because their is gain in it.
This season it is not the right time to sell out because the price in the market will still keep increasing, the reason why we decide to invest must be the reason why need to still keep hodling.

Although, I am not a financial advisor, however I have been trading Ethereum for over six years, starting from its launch. During this period I have witnessed substantial and consistent growth, despite the fact that there were bearish trends when similar to Bitcoin its price was also dropped significantly. In the context of my experience, I would suggest you toconsider holding it for long term or at least wait for potential Christmas rally, which historically has yielded handsome profit for investors.

The price rally seems to be expected this Christmas season as Bitcoin does the uptrend motion, and ETH will also pump. For IMO, that was is too early to take advantage of the pump, if we don't need to use our money, it is better to continue holding until next year as we believe that more pumps are coming rather than decline. That is why I could say that holding ETH is not a regrettable decision but rather a wise choice.
The current price of ETH is already at $2,100 ++, and it was possible to reach $2,400.

As I answered before, it's impossible to know.

But it remains above 2 thousand dollars and using this value as support makes it very interesting to buy some amount to speculate.

If you do not hold above this price, any value you buy now will only be buying at the top and providing liquidity to the market.

I suggest to that person to continue holding Ethereum. Don't ever sell it if he/she is at a loss. All the losses he sees right now are just a paper loss, it will only be a loss if he decides to sell it. No one can tell if Ethereum will reach that price or if any other crypto in the market will increase before Christmas. But the only thing we all know is that the bull run hasn't even started yet.

Anticipating rally before Christmas suggests a positive outlook for Bitcoin which will certainly have its trickle down impact on Ethereum price, as well. I agree with your viewpoint that holding onto Ethereum for long term is a wise decision, and selling for moderate profit may become out a regrettable decision, specially given the anticipated rally following the halving, schedule in  mid of year 2024.

The most reliable alt coin is Ethereum. I bought Ethereum several months ago and now I have sold Ethereum and made a lot of profit. If you want to buy Ethereum, of course you can. You must check the market before buying Ethereum. Ethereum must buy you when the market is low and sell you when the market is up.

Usually there will be a lot of activity selling the coins they hold before Christmas.  This often happens every year.  However, it would be better if the Ethereum you own is held for the long term to avoid selling at a low price.  Market price movements recently have been quite stable, although there has been a slight decline, it is possible that as Christmas approaches, the decline in market prices will be even sharper.

  Well, maybe when it comes to the long term, ethereum is also one of its good works, apart from Bitcoin. That's why the only thing I don't like about ETH is its high transaction fee. Second, I'm not an ETH fanatic either.

  I prefer other cryptocurrencies to hold than ETH; maybe others may not agree with me. That's why I don't really like ETH, to be honest. Sorry to the ETH fanatics; we each have our own crypto bets, of course.

We've seen the price of Ethereum already hit $2400 and that's before Christmas. But I believe that with Christmas coming up, the price of Bitcoin and many other coins, including Ethereum, is likely to increase more. ETH is a reliable coin to HODL for the future and can offer high returns. And the value of this coin certainly I think has the potential to touch $3000 before Christmas if it continues to get higher. However, as the current market conditions show that all coins are trending higher and trending towards this or that position, holding Ethereum will give you a profit.

Certainly, we are again witnessing positive sentiment in cryptocurrencies after the correction of three consecutive days started on Monday when market opened after weekend. This correction dragged Bitcoin price down to around $40,000 and Ethereum price dropped to $2,100. Today Ethereum price is trading $2,280 and if weekly candle closes in green, we might see Santa Clause rally (Christmas) in the coming week. This potential upward trend  might continue for one week before traders usually book profit just before Christmas and new year holidays.

We have seen the Ethereum market drop to $2100 this week due to market volatility. From $2100, the market started to slowly rise again, currently Ethereum stands at $2300. Since Christmas day is very close to us, maybe because of that the Ethereum market can go up. But not sure if it will be $3000 before Christmas. However, we expect that the Ethereum market will increase around Christmas Day, but we cannot say for sure how much it will increase.

It is possible that we may see another correction, we must not forget that during December people spend more money than usual and they may be in need of money at the time, and if they have some money invested in good coins like ethereum then they may sell some of their holdings so they can afford all of those expenses, something which could cause a small decrease on the demand and the price may drop as a result of those market conditions.

sometime it might be corrections occurring when we are nearing the christmas but then again we can't be so sure of it but in my opinion don't have too much of a high expectation, from the past chart we've had history of always dumping when we are nearing end of the year for some reasons but it might be different this time around but regardless I think Ethereum if not reaching $3k by the end of the year which is also christmas I think in the next year we will be almost certainly gonna be hitting that price mark.
after all, ethereum have even higher all time high than that so its definitely possible, moreover ethereum is the most utilized blockchain seeing from the gas increase alone you can easily know about it.
I think eventually we will see ethereum reaching its all time high again but that only if bitcoin is also nearing its all time high then it will all come into one piece, the altcoin season also definitely gonna happen if thats the case.

Ethereum is one of the most reliable altcoins in the market. One of the most important things to do is to check the market before buying any coin in particular. People who jump into investing without testing the market often end up losing their investments. Investment should be made from such a place that even if the market goes up a little, there will be a lot of profit. You have made a lot of profit on your investment by buying Ethereum and I am very happy with your profit. When a person buys and invests, if he makes a profit on that investment, I feel a lot of love for that profit. I have not bought and invested in Ethereum until now, hope I will buy and invest in Ethereum.

It is reliable, in a sense that it is still there despite existing long time ago. Its value is also stable, but despite of it, there are still ETH investors who lose but I think it's not the fault of ETH anymore. ETH and other cryptos are mainly created for us to have another payment method. They already served their purpose that way, but it's just that people aren't contented and made them an investment asset instead.

If you are investing, there is always a risk but it can be managed by doing some preparations and research. Thanks for telling the OP of buying ETH, but it seems he already did it, and it seems he already lost his money. Also thanks for the tip you gave there. He can surely follow this in his 2nd, 3rd, or so on... attempt. This was only basic, but we never know, what if he didn't know, or apply it yet?

you did not clear what are you pointing here but for me if she bought and in loss?
as we are now in bullying season then we could better Hold more and let time tells you when to sell ,
and besides Ethereum is still in good shape so don't bother having problem holding mate so keep it
on , and also try not to  have that second thought because you are in good position holding ethereum.

I am not a holder of Ethereum and I don't fully support buying of altcoins in general, except cases where the person feel he Is capable of handling the risk all by himself. Talking about Ethereum, I have been watching the coin for dome time now and I can observe that its among the coins that have its price movement tied to that of bitcoin, if you observe closely you'll see what I'm talking about. I'm not saying its bad, since it is following the master "Bitcoin", so what I believe is that bitcoin will surely rise back to 44k but by the end of the year. I am not all that sure if the price of Ethereum would reach 2.3k before Christmas, but before the end of the year it might reach the $2300. But as a holder I would also advise that you hold dearly, don't let the current trend to deceive you into selling you coins, except you're selling for emergency or to buy bitcoin. Its possible what happens last month would happen again where we experience enough sideway trend and the next thing was boom.

Ethereum has already hit $2400 recent so if you are expecting a profit if sold at that price then you should have sold it out by now. But OP why stating precisely till Christmas? If you are an hodler, then you should hold it till you make a good profit since this coming year is our expected bullrun season.

All altcoins have some level of correlation to bitcoin, with most of them being on the high side, this is something that anyone that can access to the prices of bitcoin and ethereum can verify by using any of the spreadsheet software that is available on the market, however what can allow the price of a coin to move independently is for its own fundamental news to change that dynamic, and in the case of ethereum the Dencun upgrade could allow ethereum to rise in price faster than bitcoin once it goes live.

thats true, next year probably ethereum will be hitting a new all time high due to the fact that bitcoin halving is near and when bitcoin is rising up so high it will be followed by ethereum, the holding frame is gonna be longer but the profit will be worth it.
assuming that in the future there will also be news in regard of ETF approval I think its bright future and the result kinda obvious in this regard.
but I guess some people might have different preference and rather choose to just get shorter holding which also means lesser profit and thats also totally fine.
regardless though anyone investing in ethereum should know that besides ETF bitcoin there's also ETF ethereum trying to be registered, just wait it out.
otherwise people wouldn't so hyped with accumulating both bitcoin and ethereum right now because they knew some good thing will arrive in the next year.

$2500.

No technical analysis was done on my part. Just pure prediction. After all, even though you will make your technical analysis, you will not predict what can happen in the future with 100% accuracy. What's bad is that the market hasn't looked good in the past few days because after Bitcoin reached as high as $44,000, the price of it is going down, and that includes most of the top altcoins as well. TBH, I'm also thinking that we might see Bitcoin ending the year with its price lower than $40,000.

Overall, Ethereum is a good long-term coin to hold so even though you will just buy today, in the long term you will get profit. One thing more is that we aren't in a bull run yet, so if you bought today, just hold it until the bull run starts.

@OP your target was $2300 before Christmas, $2238 today and hopefully it will go beyond $2300 before the 25th of this month. We still have 5 more days left and the market is in green today. I don't know what news caused Bitcoin to pump but it looks good. Ethereum can breach your target if Bitcoin continues to pump a few days more.

It is indeed difficult to predict when predicting the price of Cryptocurrency. Sometimes it doesn't match expectations. Don't blame you, at least we know the habits of a market at the end of the year or before Christmas. It seems that your prediction is actually wrong, it even looks like the price of Bitcoin will affect the price of everything, including Ethereum.  Today, the price of Ethereum has actually increased compared to what we all expected because this is the impact of approaching big holidays such as Christmas and New Year.

If I were the OP,  I would have locked this thread, this is because I believe he opened the thread due tension of his trading position. He actually opened a trade ( not an investment) that seemed to be running at a loss and seriously moving against him, but later went in his favour. On that very day that he opened the thread, if you look at your chart of Ethereum, you will realize that Ethereum hit that level ($2,300) and eventually moved past that level higher. By this, I believe the OP must have hit his target already which makes me think that he must have concluded this thread at the same time

Besides, I am glad things work the way they did for Bitcoin and Ethereum this year, and towards Christmas time, there are possibilities that the markets will continue to climb higher on a little positive news. This is because the sentiment is all positive now, no one truly wants to sell them. However, people will still continue to sell at times and make their money just like I did last week and even yesterday, but caution is strongly advised for the bearish position holder at this time. The shortest-term disposition is the best so that they will not lose or have to part ways with their already-earned profits. The Bulls are not smiling at this time, they are in for serious business and desperately waiting for the outcome of ETF on January 10.

Hold in there OP, I think ETH can break above $2,500 by this Christmas. I'll even offer a bonus prediction of above $3k sometime in January 2024.

The price of Etheruem will soon go more higher to show increase but as few days ago the price reduces to 2100$ so that decrease was actually due to Fluctuations in the Bitcoin price. The price of Bitcoin was reduces to 41k$ and that of Etheruem was 2100$. Currently the price of Etheruem is 2250$ which means that it is again in pumping position.
Christmas is near and we are guessing that price will not reduces more than 2200$ but will increase and as few days are remaining in coming years so there is also a hope that 3000$ of price will be attain by Ethereum before halving.

Absolutely mate you are right holding a good coin need more time si it's better to hold it tight and no matter what happen do not sell if you don't make a profit yet. There's nothing to worry about once you got a trusted coins cause one thing for sure you can get more profits if you are holding it. Like Bitcoin Many investors nowadays gain more profits as we all know that they are investing on Bitcoin tan the price still go up higher.

i wouldn't worry about etheruem hitting all time high because it obviously will its just matter of time, as we can see nowadays so many project coming up with program to stake ethereum even the gas fee for ethereum is increasing ever so significantly that executing smart contract function require $100 which is humongous for many of us.
its just matter of time until bitcoin reach all time high naturally ethereum will too and yes as you said, its not a shitcoin no need to worry even if it dumps right now to a thousand dollar it will come back up eventually in the future.
i would worry more about other altcoin that have peaked already they might reached their all time high this time around since we know some altcoin might not follow the trend of bitcoin reaching five times of initial price at time like this and just dumpinng all the way to the very bottom eventually in the future.

Today per Ethereum price averaged $2200. Crypto market is always unpredictable. I think Ethereum is currently stable at a good price. Crypto bull run is likely to happen soon. We cannot hit our target until the market goes into bullish condition. So I think if you want to hit your target with Ethereum then hold on to it. Very soon it will be in a better position and will hit the milestone. But on the day you said it would probably reach $2400 to $2500.

As the price of Bitcoin increases from 43,000$ to 43,640$ and looks like it will continue to increase as the price of Ethereum continues to increase from 2,200$ to 2,208 every day we are in a bull market and halving remaining in the next 100 days and that indicates where we are going to see all markets  green with all the Crypto in all the markets, maybe this is the right time to buy some Crypto that has the potential to benefit us later, at least we have that chance..

I think, Sometime later Ethereum hit your target price. Crypto price is always high volatile. Just wait and see what the next. Maybe a bull run comes soon. If we will get more and more profit then hold it for a long time. Hodl is gold.

Ethereum is the king of all altcoin. So, I don't the reason why you are scared to hold. I will even advice you hold till profit are made and not till Christmas time.

usually, those are new ones in this market. they haven't seen yet the roller coaster ride. and to think that the OP's target is only $2300 by the time that he created this thread. and now, we are already hitting 2200, which means it can very well be over 2300 in some trading platforms. actually, the 2300 target was already achieved a day after he posted the thread.

and do take note that we are talking about eth here. not just any other crap alt. so the likelihood that it will go up will always be there. it is only a matter of time before it will have a very good performance in the market. most alts are just crap to hodl. and would rekt your bankroll.

we are just waiting for the good news to come out and everything will be bullish its just matter of time I guess, but since we are about to hit the end of the year I think its safe to assume that probably the next bullrun will take place not long into the future, after all everything in regard of proposal for the ETF are already almost finalized, its just waiting for approval.
meanwhile right now we are already having some good bullrun, im sure anyone buying from the time when we are still in bearish are already having some good juicy profit right now because they probably already profitted more than 100% easily within short period of time.
even more so for those that willing to hold some good altcoin that initially lost 90% of its value due to the falling of certain exchange company right now they definitely got some massive profit already.

Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts and applications. It is the second largest cryptocurrency by market cap, and it has a lot of potential to grow in the future. However, it also faces many challenges and uncertainties, such as scalability issues, network upgrades, and competition from other platforms. Therefore, the price of Ethereum is volatile and unpredictable, and it depends on many factors, such as supply and demand, market sentiment, innovation, regulation, and global events.

According to some news sources, Ethereum price prediction for 2023 ranges from $2,161 to $8,000, based on technical analysis and key use cases of Ethereum. However, these are only estimates and not guarantees, and they may change over time. There is no way to know for sure if Ethereum will reach $2300 before Christmas, as the crypto market is very dynamic and influenced by many factors.

Perhaps, it was just a few times that I saw ETH moving in the opposite direction against Bitcoin as most of the time it goes in the same direction.
As we see the price of Bitcoin climbing, we can also expect such a trend as well. In fact, the influence of Bitcoin was not just for ETH alone but the entire crypto market.

Currently, the price of ETH is at $2,300++, we can expect more ups if the Bitcoin does. But I was too optimistic about it, it probably reach $2,500 before we depart this year 2023.

As soon as Vitalik implements his ideas, the price will reach new heights.

What might an “enshrined ZK-EVM” look like?
Layer-2 EVM protocols on top of Ethereum, including optimistic rollups and ZK rollups, depend on EVM verification. However, this requires them to trust a large codebase, and if there is a bug in that codebase, these VMs risk getting hacked. Additionally, it means even ZK-EVMs that want to stay exactly equivalent to the L1 EVM need to have some form of governance, to copy changes to the L1 EVM into their own EVM implementation.

In Christmas, the market is mostly moving sideways because of the holiday people are having in the west. Also there is a chance that there will be a correction before the halving, as we are having a mini bull season for almost 3 months, so there is an obvious reason to think there will be a short correction. But if you are holding ETH for the long term then i don't think it really matters because the only thing you can do with the upcoming correction is accumulate more ETH.

Still hanging at 2,200 and waiting for another pump  is there really chance to
make this far? 2500 when bitcoin even not crossing 45k , maybe there will  be pausing as we
are day far from Christmas yet here we are

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/

wow , this sounds interesting  but will Vitalik really planning and taking this into action?

The price of ethereum depends largely on the price of bitcoin so it seems that the price of ethereum will rise. Just aim to move forward bitcoin half is almost gone ethereum will show its high price along with bitcoin. There is no harm in holding ethereum the crypto market will be in a better position and it will be beneficial to hold it.

Accumulating more ETH before the ATH arrives is a good way, do DCA before it explodes. A correction will of course occur soon if market conditions are sufficiently saturated, a correction is needed to make the market condition improve so that it can reach the highest price again. There's nothing to worry about, Christmas is a winter holiday that many people enjoy, we just need to buy more before the work season arrives.

Another reason to invest in ETH right now is that its profit margin from the beginning of the year until now is lower than BTC, and there is still a lot of price potential for ETH compared to BTC because most of the current funds are focused on BTC, not flowing into ETH.
I believe there will be a surge of money into ETH when the ETH Cancun update event is about to happen. Although ETH's recent growth has been relatively slow, be patient and hold on; I believe the significant growth wave of ETH will soon take place in the first quarter of 2024.

Many anticipate a sell-off before Christmas and New Year, but I believe the market dynamics this year appear different due to highly positive news for the market still ahead, such as Bitcoin ETF, or the ETH Cancun update. Consequently, there's still significant buying pressure to get ahead of these trends from investors. This year will be the year that sets the stage for the next growth cycle, so many investors are reluctant to sell at this point.


ethereum is a coin that is suitable for us to choose as an investment vehicle.  because besides the price continuing to improve, ethereum is also a coin that is suitable for long-term investment.  So as a trader, don't make a loss when buying ethereum, that is, hold on until the price rises and gives you a profit
