Analysts are pointing to a potential $20,000 peak for Ether. The rally is expected to accelerate in the first half of 2025.
Ether may experience a short-term correction before reaching new highs.
Ether could see a correction once Bitcoin hits $100,000 with this level expected to be surpassed by the end of November. Bitget CEO Chen noted that Bitcoin’s drop could trigger a short-term correction for Ether.
Chen: “The market is oversold, and a healthy correction is possible… As BTC hits $100,000 Ethereum could be affected.”

Popular crypto analyst Wolf stated that, based on technical charts, Ether’s price could surpass $20,000.
“The ETH chart has been forming a three-year compression triangle since November 2021,” wrote Wolf on November 22. “A breakout from this triangle will target $20,000,” he added.

While investors may currently be rotating funds into Bitcoin, Chen believes Ether will recover once Bitcoin’s momentum slows down.
