Well eth hit 1450 usd when will it drop below 1000?

[philipma1957]

Your speculations sounds unfair, though the market have seen retracements and ETH has been stunted and sluggish in it's price movement, I still believe it has something promising.

Here is something about that promising potential.
In January 2018 Ethereum was at $1428 at Bitstamp, in 2025 it's at $1452 as we speak!
So basically, anyone that would have hold ETH from before 2018 and not sold wouldn't have made gains even to cover annual inflation, not inflation over 7 years!

What about me who has bought ETH above $2500?

And now it's still declining, if the price of ETH is the same as 7 years ago then this really sucks meaning we're not covering any profit at all now.

I'm not sure ETH will reach $6000 after so much speculation before 2023.

basically if a hand gets gangrene you cut it off rather than die.

So much I don't know about your setup with coins.

A usa based?
B other coins
C cash reserve
D cash flow
E gold silver
F debt

depending on all that and a lot of other factors  all of the below could be your choices

bail out and take the loss
put a buy in now
do nothing
put a buy in lower
do something else not sure what

What about me who has bought ETH above $2500?

I sympathized with investors who bought ETH at a good price and when it is tanking they are trapped...they would not want to sell because it would be a big loss and they hate to wait since it can really take a long time before ETH will be making a good recovery. Sometimes there is really no choice but to either sell now or just wait it put since the storm and the red waves would eventually settle and we can be on the road to the moon again.

Not only Ethereum, even Bitcoin has experienced a very sharp decline. And not only cryptocurrency coins, almost all currencies have fallen except the US Dollar, the exchange rate of conventional currencies around the world has also decreased.
This is beyond expectations, if you have a reserve fund, my advice is not to rush into the market, I'm afraid the conditions will get worse.

It is not only Ethereum, but all Bitcoin tokens have the same potential to change a lot. And we have also seen that not only crypto currency tokens but also almost all currencies in other countries apart from the US dollar are at risk of a big fall in price, and in addition to this we have seen that the prices of many other currencies apart from Bitcoin have fallen a lot. I mean at this time before we invest we should analyze the market well and make predictions or it is better for us to invest here by seeing its future. But if this really happens then we have the potential to lose a lot.

They don't need our financial advice; they are mature and can decide how to handle their ETH investments themselves. If they don't have a stop-loss, they deserve to experience short-term losses. Conversely, if they believe ETH will reach a new ATH, 2.5K USD is still a cheap price because it could help them achieve a 100% profit this season.

I don't believe the ETH price will drop below 1K USD. The remaining months of 2025 and the necessity of altseason don't allow the ETH price to continue falling deeply and negatively impact the entire market. The ETH price should increase significantly to help altcoins enter uptrend more easily.

Well people around here will say:
- hold for another decade
- it was your fault for not doing your research

Me, as a truly honest man, I can say that you're a bit screwed! Even if you recover your investment, I will be peanuts compared to other coins and I am starting to think it might not even cover the inflation. Besides, $2500 might be misleading, If I had bought ETH when it was priced like that and the euro was nearly on par with the $, now I would need $2750 to have the same amount in euros.

I often hear this word from my circle of friends who are into crypto..always advising me on high ETH purchases.

If you say that, then yes this is a bit messed up with me!!!

But I don't want to cover this with continuous losses so it's better to hold than sell - let's lose almost a lot because there is no other choice now but to hold.

yeah right now all we can do is hold, don't sell at a loss the top coins that we have bought. because the global economic conditions have not improved and it seems that bitcoin still dominates the market.
I am also waiting for the altcoins that I have to soar in price, so I will hold and be patient to wait

Don't be so hard on those who bought ETH above 2.5k, or even more
Unfortunately it's easy to observe now, but a few months ago the expectation was very high that ETH could beat ATH
Active developers, probably the most famous dev in crypto, Vitalik, network running smoothly, ETH being used for staking, for gas, for various L2 layers, etc
It had everything to keep going up, but that's not how it happened

At least in my experience, since 2017, I've had my portfolio devalued by 90%, so I wouldn't sell at a loss under any circumstances

Yeah that's one of the things that HODL is doing, it seems that the effect of Trump's imposition of these tariffs is still not finalized, so I don't know about this decision, he said that some countries are able to negotiate with these tariffs.

Anyway I see the market is green again, yes sometimes after that it goes back down again.

[SamReomo]

I speak out against eth on a regular basis. So since it did drop to 1400 and change you would think it drops are done.

Frankly it is way over priced and will go under 1k some t I me in 2025. I PICKED IN THE NEXT 60 DAYS OR SO.

I don't know if it will go to $1k but if it does then I'll surely accumulate so much of it. It'll definitely give good returns when bought at $1k and the ones who know it will definitely not miss that chance of having it at $1000.

[rdluffy]

Hey, look who's the winner here:



ETH -11,84%

It's almost inexplicable how ETH is losing its value day by day

[Stompix]

But I don't want to cover this with continuous losses so it's better to hold than sell - let's lose almost a lot because there is no other choice now but to hold.

People have been holding EOS too, because if they sold they might have lost it all...how did it work with them?

I'm not being hard on the ones that have bought ETH I'm being hard on the morons who advise others to keep holding and holding and holding.
Every single newbie with zero experience in the markets was shouting weak hands, don't sell, we will go to the moon, while the ones that truly have seen the situation are the smart ones that dumped at over $4000. Yeah weak, hands that dumped at $3000 when it went down, the same weak hands that are laughing their ass now sicen they can now buy twice as much ETH.

So who earned more, so is happy now, the hodlers or the panicked sellers of the last ATH?

I was also once before 2025 invited by a friend to buy EOS because they will do a good development, usually the token will go up they said, but I was not sure and did not buy it unless I paid more ETH first.
But according to CMC the token went up 30% in 24 hours, but I never looked at it again.

Well just think about those that got in at 4500 or higher and staked a few coins they are fucking crushed.


ETH    =   1647 and you can stake it to get 4-7%           
BNB   =     597 and you can stake it to get 3-11%
Solana =   131  and you can stake it to get 4-9%

stake numbers vary.

so three coins that pretty much do the same thing.  So no reason for Eth to grow faster than the others.

I would guess 2026

ETH =  1800-2000
BNB =   800-1000
Solana = 250-350

Eth would grow the least.

and I am assuming the musky trumpeter does not fuel shit any more than he already did.

Lets be positive and say Trumps whales smokes and does amazing.

BTC Doge and POW will do better as they burn energy.

ETH is off POW and will likely not do as well since they went green.

ETH may need a new USA and a new Russia as both USA and Russia want to melt the ice at this moment in time.

I just saw some news about ETH, take a look:

And it's not the only whale selling
It seems that even the biggest investors are already worried about the future price of ETH
