Citi (year-end 2025)
Citigroup expects Ethereum to end 2025 at $4,300, noting that recent strength appears driven more by sentiment than fundamentals.

Standard Chartered has raised its 2025 target to $7,500, citing increased industry engagement and an expected eightfold rise in stablecoin issuance by 2028, which could support higher transaction fees on Ethereum.

ETH price: Technical outlook
On the daily chart, Ethereum is trading below its main moving-average cluster: 20/50/100/200-DMAs at approximately 4,443 / 4,377 / 3,685 / 2,891. The 20-over-50 alignment remains intact, with the 200-day EMA positioned near 3,370. Momentum is neutral, with the 14-day RSI at 40.
A daily close above the 4,235 pivot would bring the 5,113 area into view. On the downside, initial support lies at the 3,514 pivot, followed by the 100-day SMA near 3,685. A break below the 200-day EMA at 3,370 could open the way to deeper losses towards the lower shelf (TradingView, 22 September 2025).
