Ethereum Price Prediction
Pseudonymous crypto analyst Smart Contracter predicted that Ethereum appears to be approaching the $2,000 mark. He claimed during the weekend that if ETH crosses $1,700, its next stop might be $2,000. The overall crypto markets have maintained the bullish momentum, suggesting they could reach yet another high this month.
“Keep it simple. If Ethereum gains acceptance into this range (1,700). Then I think we could see a move up to the highs in the low $2,000. Everything continues to pump if this happens because ETH/USD leads the market, in my opinion,” he tweeted.
However, Smart Contracter warned investors not to take an entry position when ETH reaches $2,000. As per his predictions, Ethereum could shed nearly 36% of its value after it reaches the $2K mark.

The downside target for Ethereum after reaching $2,000 is $1,280, predicted Smart Contracter. “If it confirms with a new high, some good longer-term buying opportunities should present around the $1,270 mark in the coming month,” he tweeted his 210,000 followers.
Also, several analysts have called last month’s rally a bull trap stating that the markets might see a downturn. Therefore, it is advised to remain cautious as the crypto markets might face a pullback this month.
At press time, Ethereum was trading at $1,720 and is up 2.2% in the 24 hours day trade. The world’s second biggest crypto was down 65% from its all-time high of $4,878 in November last year.
