Tom Lee Predicts ETH to Reach $5,000 by Year-End, This Bull Market Could Push to $50,000

In an interview, Tom Lee stated that Ethereum (ETH) is expected to rise to $25,000–$50,000 during this bull market cycle. He believes that ETH has oscillated within a similar price range over the past five years, and the prolonged bottom consolidation may have built momentum for a larger subsequent rally. Lee predicts that ETH could break through $5,000 by the end of this year; if Bitcoin's price surpasses $100,000, ETH could further rise to around $7,500. His long-term bullish outlook is based on the idea that Ethereum, after years of consolidation, may experience a more significant price breakout. However, the market remains cautious about this expectation. Data shows that traders currently estimate only a 4% probability of ETH reaching $5,000 by the end of 2026, which stands in stark contrast to Lee's optimistic forecast.
