Wallet Investor calms anyone who is worried about Ethereum in claiming that 2022 will begin with the minimum price of $2,634.100. The average price will be above $4,000 in July. December will lighten up the mood with a maximum price of $4,900.
The Economy Forecast Agency’s predictions are the most optimistic. As you can see below, in December, Ethereum is going to fly above $10,000. The price will be more than double in 2022. The year will begin with $4,079, and the final price in December will be $9,662
Just because ETH goes up doesn't mean that BTC has to go down, every coin could go up. I would like to change the question of the topic to "what do you think will happen to market by January 2022" and that could potentially be the same answer. There is an average of market going up or down and I believe that ETH will not be too much out of that average, sure it could be a bit higher or lower but I do not think that there will be a huge difference.
If the general market goes up then ethereum will go up and if there is a big down then the market will be down as well. It is just simply not possible for ETH to have a standable breakout at this point, not saying it is impossible but it is also improbable at the same time which is why I am expecting to be around market average movement.
