Going by the predictions on the website, it seems that the year 2026 is expected to be a rather bullish one for Ethereum. It also answers the question of <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/whats-driving-bitcoin-and-ethereum-prices-and-why-investors-should-be-watchful\/\">whether ETH\u2019s price could break $3,000 <\/a>again this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">One interesting thing of note is that the predictions show that each month will finish higher than the current price. Besides the month of March, there is no other month in 2026 where the algorithm predicts that the Ethereum price will fall below $2,000 again. Instead, the predictions show possible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/bitcoin-ethereum-recovering-again\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">double-digit increases<\/a> for the digital asset.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-668678\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-08-at-19.58.57.png?w=532&amp;resize=532%2C420\" alt=\"Ethereum price\" width=\"532\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-08-at-19.58.57.png?w=1706 1706w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-08-at-19.58.57.png?w=532 532w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-08-at-19.58.57.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-08-at-19.58.57.png?w=835 835w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-08-at-19.58.57.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-08-at-19.58.57.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-08-at-19.58.57.png?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 532px) 100vw, 532px\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">As for when the price could cross $3,000, it <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitmine-is-buying-more-ethereum\/\">suggests that this could happen sometime in May<\/a>, which is two months from now. After that, the price is expected to fall below $3,000 again, trending around this level till the end of the month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Taking into account that the\u00a0<a style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-record-breaking-address\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">highest level for the year<\/a> is expected to be around $3,673, it would mean an approximately 90% gain on the price if bought from current levels.\u00a0If holding through to the end of the year, the highest level in December 2026 is expected to reach $2,477. This would mean a 28% return on investment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Going by the prediction, March would be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/ethereum\/ethereum-price-bottom-15000\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">best time to get into Ethereum<\/a> at the lowest prices in 2026. Then the best time to sell would be in May when the price is expected to hit its peak. From June to the end of the year, the price is expected to then trade in a fairly tight range.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/X9N0h9S7\/\" alt=\"Ethereum price chart from Tradingview.com\" width=\"3286\" height=\"1878\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite its disappointing performance over the last bull run, Ethereum has remained a top choice for investors across the crypto sector.
