Ethereum (ETH) is one of the leading cryptocurrencies in the world and is just behind Bitcoin in market value. The asset had a solid 2024, climbing 40% as the crypto market hit the global stage. In 2025, Ethereum is expected to continue to rise in value, starting in January.
According to a recent price prediction from CoinCodex, the Ethereum price is expected to increase as January progresses, leading to a potential 30% rise to $4,000. The analysts see Ether starting to climb from consolidation around January 19th. From that time forward, ETH can see an increase of almost 20% in the following days. Currently, the price prediction has the token reaching over $3,500 by January 30th. However, in the first week of February, Ether may breach $4,200.
When will Ethereum return to $4,000?
A positive rally for Ethereum coming between now and February could be enough to see the asset reach $4,000 before February. But by spring, ETH could be really set to blow. CoinCodex analysts who project the asset to recover $4,000 in the coming weeks also say that ETH has the potential to reach a price of $6,659.11 in the spring. Several crypto price predictions have the market booming between April and May 2025. Ethereum is the latest asset to benefit from one of these bullish forecasts, with analysts suggesting this is one of the many cases of ETH reaching $6,000 in 2025.
Beyond spring, around September 2025, CoinCodex projects that ETH could reach a maximum of $6,420.84. However, this period will not be the peak of a rally, as the asset’s price could top out at nearly $7,000 if all goes well for ETH. That kind of increase would be a return of over 100% for investors buying in at current prices.
Notably, Q1 is a historically strong period for Ethereum, according to past results. January is a predominantly positive month for ETH, with two exceptions – deep declines in 2019 and 2022. This month, ETH has accumulated losses of 3.42% so far, with a chance to reverse the score in the coming weeks. In addition, ETH also outperformed in the first quarter, often becoming the catalyst for another altcoin season. Altcoin season is already expected to arrive this spring, therefore the way may already be set for Ether to start its rise later this month.
