Analyst Predicts Ethereum Price Could Reach $7,000 as it Revisits Key Level

The price of Ethereum (ETH) has experienced a significant correction of over 10% from its New Year highs as the market retraced, dropping below the crucial support level of $3,300. Despite this pullback, many analysts are optimistic about ETH’s performance in the first quarter of the year, anticipating the possibility of new highs in the near future.

Bullish Patterns Emerging for Ethereum

Today, Ethereum saw a decline in its value below the $3,320 mark, marking a 14% drop from its recent high of $3,744. The market retrace led to the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap falling below the $3,300 support level.

Despite the correction, during the early-year rally, ETH managed to recover by 20% from its lows, reaching levels not seen in nearly three weeks. However, the market pullback affected Ethereum, causing it to drop to $3,210 on Thursday morning. Throughout December, the $3,200-$3,300 range had served as a crucial support zone for ETH.

Analysts have pointed out that Ethereum might be forming a significant reversal pattern that could lead to new price highs. One analyst highlighted the formation of a multi-month inverse Head and Shoulders pattern on the monthly timeframe, with a resistance area of $3,650-$3,760 potentially acting as a critical level.

Another analyst noted that as Ethereum dipped to the lower end of the $3,200 range, a similar bullish pattern emerged, suggesting a potential price increase to around $7,000. This prediction is based on the current bullish setup and could lead to an 87.53% rise in ETH’s value.

Is Ethereum Done with Major Retraces?

Ali Martinez, a crypto analyst, shared a positive outlook on the potential bullish pattern, indicating that a drop to $2,900 would be a bullish signal for ETH. Such a dip could provide a buying opportunity with a target price of $7,000 in mind.

However, it is essential to note that the bullish pattern would be invalidated if Ethereum falls below $2,800, where the left shoulder of the pattern was formed.

Another market observer highlighted similarities between Ethereum’s performance in early 2024 and 2025, suggesting that the current price action could be a yearly open shakeout before a bullish trend in the first half of 2025.

Analysts remain confident that there is little downside left for ETH, with a potential retracement of 4% to 7% before aiming for all-time high (ATH) levels.

Currently, ETH is trading at $3,255, reflecting a 2.15% decrease in the daily timeframe.
