As an Ethereum 
$3,216 investor, I believe that just as many analysts predict Bitcoin 
$89,739 will reach $1,000,000 by 2030, it is reasonable to state that Ethereum could reach $100,000. This long-term strategy invites examination of Ethereum price movements and trends, focusing on short-term fluctuations.
Recent Price Movements
Ethereum’s price recently surpassed its 200-day moving average, a notable indicator for investors. Let’s review the past five years to see how Ethereum has historically responded when its price exceeds this average.
Historical Trends and Analysis
Following the 2018 peak, Ethereum’s price fell sharply from $1,400 to around $150. In April 2019, it closed around $160, breaking above the 200-day average and reaching a peak of $340 by June. However, it soon dipped below the average again.
In January 2020, Ethereum broke through the 200-day average at approximately $160, briefly peaking at $300 before continuing a downward trend. Nailing it down in April 2020, the price broke the moving average of around $170 and surged to a historical high of nearly $4,800 by November 2021.
Subsequent declines during the crypto winter brought Ethereum down to about $1,000. Starting January 2023, it began to trend upward again after closing above the moving average at around $1,300, reaching a peak of $2,000 in April, followed by another drop.
After hitting a low of around $1,500, Ethereum rebounded in October 2023, surpassing the 200-day moving average near $1,700. Following this, it reached a new peak of around $4,000 by March 2024 before declining again.
In summary, Ethereum has consistently surpassed the 200-day moving average about five times in the past five years, showing gains of at least 50% during crypto winters and a staggering 2700% during bull seasons. If Ethereum maintains its recent surge above $3,000, it could see prices between $4,500 and $7,000 during the current market conditions.
