Tom Lee predicts ETH to top $5,000 by year-end, could hit $50,000 this bull cycle

PANews, October 10 – Tom Lee said in an interview that Ethereum (ETH) could rise to $25,000–$50,000 in this bull market cycle. He believes ETH has oscillated within a similar price range for the past five years, and a prolonged bottom consolidation may be building momentum for a larger rally later. Lee expects ETH to break above $5,000 before the end of this year; if Bitcoin breaks above $100,000, ETH could climb further to around $7,500. His long-term bullish logic is that Ethereum, after years of consolidation, may see a larger price breakout.

However, the market remains cautious about this expectation. Data shows traders currently assign only a 4% probability that ETH will reach $5,000 by the end of 2026, a stark contrast to Lee's optimistic forecast.
