Despite its disappointing performance during the recent bull run, Ethereum has remained a top choice for investors in the crypto sector. Its position as the second largest cryptocurrency by market cap makes it one of the first stops for new and old investors. But with the price is still well below the previous all-time record highthe question remains whether this is a good time to actually buy Ethereum and whether there will be a big profit at the end of the year.
Can Ethereum Cross $3,000 This Year?
The machine learning algorithm on the CoinCodex website predicts where the price of Ethereum is each month of the year, taking into account certain factors. According to the predictions on the website, it seems that 2026 will be a very strong year for Ethereum. It also answers the question of whether the price of ETH can breach $3,000 again this year.
One interesting thing to note is that the forecasts show that every month will be higher than the current price. Apart from March, there is no other month in 2026 when the algorithm predicts that the price of Ethereum will drop below $2000 again. Instead, forecasts show a potential doubling of the digital asset.
As for whether the price could cross $3,000, this suggests that it could happen in May, two months from now. After that, the price is expected to drop back below $3,000 and trend around this level until the end of the month.
Given that the highest level for the year It is expected to be around $3,673, which means that if bought from the current level, there is about a 90% gain in price. If it holds until the end of the year, the high level will reach $2,477 in December 2026. This means a 28% return on investment.
According to forecasts, March will be the best time to enter Ethereum with the lowest prices in 2026. So the best time to sell would be in May when the price is at its peak. From June until the end of the year, the price is expected to trade in a very tight range thereafter.
