Polymarket Predictions on New Ethereum ATH
Following the SEC announcement, the odds of Ethereum reaching a new all-time high (ATH) in 2024 significantly changed on Polymarket. According to the world's largest prediction market, the current odds of Ethereum missing out on a new ATH in 2024 are 85%, compared to 71% a week ago. Only 14% placed bets for a new ATH outcome, and less than 1% had unrealistic hopes for a new ATH within the next five days.
Ethereum Price Stabilizes at $2,600-$2,700
After reaching a recent high of $2,702 on Monday, Ethereum has remained sideways over the past 48 hours, indicating a potential period of distribution between buyers and sellers. Since mid-September, Ethereum's price has moved up by 14%, prompting expectations of profit-taking within this range before a potential decline to liquidity lows at $2,500.
In summary, despite recent market activity and gains, predictions remain pessimistic regarding a new all-time high for Ethereum in 2024.
