Ethereum Could Plummet to $1,200 by December, Analyst Warns

Crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen, known for his “Into the Cryptoverse” channel, warns that Ethereum’s price could plummet to $1,200 by December. He highlights a wedge pattern in the current cycle, similar to one seen in 2019, but with a significantly longer duration.

In a post on social media platform X (previously known as Twitter), Cowen added that Ether has formed a wedge in the current crypto cycle that includes higher lows, similar to the ones during the 2019 cycle but with ~10x the length.

Cowen notes that during the 2019 cycle, ETH fell back into the wedge before the Federal Reserve announced rate cuts. This, he suggests, led to the bottom for the ETH/BTC pair in 2019, after which Ethereum saw a substantial price increase.

When asked about the potential price level for an ETH/BTC bottom, Cowen replied:

“$1200 by December is my guess. In 2016 and 2019 ETH / BTC broke down, and ETH / USD dropped 70% to 0.300 risk. 0.300 risk right now is $1208. That would represent a soft landing IMHO, then up in H1 2025.”

Another crypto analyst, Chris McCrypto, disagrees with Cowen’s prediction, arguing that a drop to $1,200 would signal a full-blown bear market. He believes Ethereum will likely bottom out around $1,850 before rebounding.

ETH Price Back Above $2,300

As of now, ETH has climbed back above $2,300, up more than 2.3% in the past 24 hours. The cryptocurrency’s market cap stands at $282 billion.

The cryptocurrency is down 52.01% from its all-time high of $4,891.70 witnessed on November 16, 2021. 

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) reads a value of 39.95 for the ETH price action which means that the sellers are dominant but the gradient of the line suggests that sluggish movement is possible.
