Ethereum’s price has experienced a significant dip below the $2,700 mark, trading at $2,689.35 according to Binance data on May 29, 2025. This drop comes amid broader market volatility, with some analysts predicting potential long-term implications for investor confidence and market dynamics. The lack of immediate statements from key Ethereum players has fueled speculation about the future direction of the cryptocurrency. 21% year-to-date decline for Ethereum contrasts sharply with a 5% gain in the overall cryptocurrency market, adding to the uncertainty. Some experts anticipate further pressure due to upcoming $2.4 billion options expiry on May 29th. While resistance stands at $2,775, potential opportunities could lie near $3,000. The cryptocurrency market is currently witnessing mixed reactions, with Ethereum’s value down by 21% this year compared to a 5% increase in the broader market. Financial analysts believe that a long-term price target of $5,950 may be reached by year-end.
