Where Ethereum trades now
Ethereum is trading at about $2,000. Over the past seven days the price has moved down 8%. This price sits roughly 57% below its all‑time high of about $5,000.
Upside outlook
The market assigns a 13% chance that ETH will reach $3,000 by December 31 2026. Every level from $3,500 and higher carries odds under 5%, indicating the market sees those targets as unlikely.
Downside outlook
Polymarket gives ETH a 75% chance of staying at $2,000, a 32% chance of falling to $1,750, a 14% chance of dropping to $1,500 and a 7% chance of reaching $1,250 by the end of 2026. Levels at $1,000 and lower each have odds under 5%, reflecting very low market confidence in deeper declines.
