Too little corroboration in the last 3 days to call a trend (5 articles). Watching for it to gain traction.
Prediction markets and analyst forecasts continue to reflect bullish long-term price expectations for Ethereum, with monthly peak predictions around $2,600 and higher targets cited by major institutions. This optimism persists despite acknowledged short-term price volatility and near-term uncertainty.
When long-term price targets remain elevated despite short-term weakness, it signals that market participants view current weakness as cyclical rather than structural, which reduces panic selling and supports valuations during drawdowns. This separation of short-term and long-term expectations typically allows assets to maintain higher price floors than would be justified by near-term fundamentals alone.
Mainstream financial press is carrying this — attention has broadened beyond specialist outlets.
