We have seen the Ethereum market drop to $2100 this week due to market volatility. From $2100, the market started to slowly rise again, currently Ethereum stands at $2300. Since Christmas day is very close to us, maybe because of that the Ethereum market can go up. But not sure if it will be $3000 before Christmas. However, we expect that the Ethereum market will increase around Christmas Day, but we cannot say for sure how much it will increase.
sometime it might be corrections occurring when we are nearing the christmas but then again we can't be so sure of it but in my opinion don't have too much of a high expectation, from the past chart we've had history of always dumping when we are nearing end of the year for some reasons but it might be different this time around but regardless I think Ethereum if not reaching $3k by the end of the year which is also christmas I think in the next year we will be almost certainly gonna be hitting that price mark.
after all, ethereum have even higher all time high than that so its definitely possible, moreover ethereum is the most utilized blockchain seeing from the gas increase alone you can easily know about it.
I think eventually we will see ethereum reaching its all time high again but that only if bitcoin is also nearing its all time high then it will all come into one piece, the altcoin season also definitely gonna happen if thats the case.
