A crypto investor known as ‘DeFi Dad’ predicts that Ether’s price will surge once it hits $5,000, following a similar pattern to the price increase Bitcoin experienced around ten years ago.
Looking back at the previous crypto cycle, Ethereum really underperformed, which was surprising considering everything that’s been developed on its platform. I mean, we saw huge institutions getting involved, the rise of stablecoins, and even the beginnings of ETFs β you’d think that would have pushed the price much higher, but it just didn’t happen.
The underlying value of the asset didn’t keep pace with its price, and, as is common with cryptocurrencies, we reacted too strongly when things changed.
ETH to $20K or $1,500?
He predicts Ethereum (ETH) could increase tenfold, reaching approximately $20,000 during the next bull market. This prediction is based on similar price patterns seen with Bitcoin in 2017, and he anticipates these gains will occur between 2027 and 2028, following the current downturn.
DeFi Dad studied the price movements of Bitcoin in 2017, when it rapidly increased from $2,000 to $20,000, to predict what a similar recovery might look like for Ethereum after the recent market low. He analyzed a 12-month period of Bitcoin’s growth to create a possible roadmap for Ethereum’s future price action.
Despite recent gains, the lowest price point for the market hasn’t happened yet. Analyst ‘Chain Mind’ believes Ethereum could fall back to $1,500 if it loses its current support level.
ETH IS GOING TO DUMP HARD SOON?
This is the crucial moment for ETH:
Hold = we are going up
Break = dump to ~$1,500 levelsMeans the next daily close decides the next major ETH move.

This could cause a significant price drop, bringing Ether back down to the levels seen in October 2023 and April 2025, when it previously fell to a support level of $1,500.
βThis is the crucial moment for ETH,β the analysts said.
Analyst Alex Marzell noted that the price is currently being supported around $2,050. However, if that level falls, he anticipates a drop back to where prices were in February.
If the price of Ethereum drops below this level, it could quickly fall to around $1,800.
There’s a lot of negativity surrounding Ethereum right now, fueled by several departures from the Ethereum Foundation and prominent supporters like David Hoffman from Bankless, who recently sold all of his ETH.
ETH Price Outlook
Current prices are falling due to negative market feelings, as Ethereum couldn’t stay above $2,100 today.
The price of the asset dropped to $2,060 during trading on Wednesday morning, and itβs down nearly 10% in the last two weeks.
The price has been stable for the past four months, but now seems to be falling towards a support level just below $2,000, which is a key price point for many traders.
