Ethereum Price Prediction as Pectra Upgrade Announced for Q1 2025 – Can ETH Reach $10,000?
The Ethereum price has fallen by 1% in the past 24 hours, slipping to $3,808 on a day when the crypto market as a whole has scarcely moved.
ETH is now up by 2% in a week and by 27% in a month, with the market’s biggest altcoin also sitting on a 100% increase in the last 12 months.
And what’s exciting is that Ethereum is now looking forward to its highly anticipated Pectra upgrade, which some community members expect to arrive by Q1 2025.
Pectra will include multiple important improvements, and by adding to Ethereum’s pre-existing utility, it could help the ETH price climb substantially.
Pectra Upgrade Announced for Q1 2025 – Can the Ethereum Price Reach $10,000?
ETH has suffered a little in the past couple of days, yet it now seems ready to mount a short-term comeback.
This is evident in its RSI (purple), which declined to 30 late yesterday night but has since rebounded towards 50, with much more room for further ascents.

Complicating the picture, however, is ETH’s 30-day average (orange), which has been above the 200-day (blue) for well over a week.
This would suggest that a decline is on the cards, with the 30-day slipping in the past 24 hours.
Yet there are several reasons for believing that the Ethereum price will actually rise over the coming days, if not over the coming weeks.
For one, this month is likely to see the launch of the first few Ethereum ETFs, with several funds already submitting the forms they need to roll out their offerings.
The launch of ETFs will result in a big rise in volume and demand for the alt, thereby boosting its price.
On top of this, more details have emerged about the upcoming Petra update, with some experts suggesting a launch in the first quarter of next year.
Pectra, the next Ethereum network upgrade, is shaping up to be the biggest in Ethereum's history!
The confirmed EIPs include:
– EIP-7702 (replaces EIP-3074/account abstraction) – EIP-7594 / PeerDAS (huge upgrade for rollup scalability)– EIP-7251 / MaxEB (stake more than 32…

Petra bundles several significant updates into one package, making Ethereum more efficient overall.
For example, it will introduce the ability to stake more than 32 ETH, something which will bring greater simplicity for validators.
It will also allow for account abstraction, which enables smart contracts to act as wallets, saving users from the need to always use external wallets to initiate transactions.
Taken together, these features will only enhance Ethereum’s usability and dominance as a layer-one platform.
In turn, it will boost the Ethereum price further, with the coin on course to break its existing record high of $4,800 by the end of the year.
High-Potential Meme Coins with Strong Fundamentals
While ETH continues to look like a very safe bet in crypto terms, it isn’t the only altcoin likely to experience significant gains in the near and more distant future.
There are also several high-potential meme coins in the market at the moment, holding their presales and building momentum as they get ready to list.
For instance, WienerAI (WAI) is an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency that has raised more than $4.8 million in its ongoing token sale.

While the market is awash in junk meme tokens, WienerAI stands out by virtue of having some solid fundamentals underlying its meme-y appearance.
That is, it will be an AI-powered chatbot that will answer questions from traders, informing them on which tokens have strong potential and on trade timings.
It will also offer an atomic swap feature, so that traders who do receive recommendations from the bot can quickly buy or sell the corresponding coin.
In addition, it features MEV protection, which works by helping investors to time trades ahead of any front-running bots that may be operating.
Such tools account for why WienerAI has raised so much money so quickly, with the coin also having some promising tokenomics.
It has a hard cap of 69 billion WAI, while holders will also be able to stake it for a passive income.
This makes it potentially deflationary, with investors able to join its token offering by going to the official WienerAI website.
They can buy WAI at a price of $0.000716 per token, with this price rising with each new stage of the sale.
