Global investment bank Goldman Sachs is reportedly predicting that the price of ether could rise to $8,000 by year-end. The bank\u2019s analysts explained that cryptocurrencies have traded in line with inflation breakevens since 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ether Could Reach $8K by Year-End, According to Goldman Sachs<\/h2>\n

Goldman Sachs has reportedly<\/a> explained in a research note circulated by the bank\u2019s managing director of Global Markets, Bernhard Rzymelka, that the price of ether (ETH<\/a>) could hit $8,000 by year-end. The note details that cryptocurrencies have traded in line with inflation breakevens since 2019, according to Zerohedge.<\/p>\n

Referencing a chart showing the Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Index (red) on a log axis and the USD 2-year forward 2-year inflation swap (blue), Goldman\u2019s analysts noted that \u201cthe local backdrop looks supportive for ethereum.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The analysts added: \u201cIt has tracked inflation markets particularly closely, likely reflecting the pro-cyclical nature as \u2018network based\u2019 asset. And the lastest spike in inflation breakevens suggests upside risk if the leading relationship of recent episodes was to hold (grey circles).\u201d They further pointed out:<\/p>\n

This lines up well with the ethereum chart.<\/p>\n

The Goldman note further describes: \u201cThe market has started to press against the all-time high with a narrowing wedge: Either a sign of exhaustion and peaking \u2026 or a starting point of an accelerating rally upon a break higher.\u201d The analyst also noted that \u201cthe RSI has yet to hit the overbought levels seen in past market highs.\u201d<\/p>\n

If the historical correlation with inflation forwards persists, the price of ethereum could surge as high as $8,000 in the next two months, the publication conveyed.<\/p>\n

Goldman\u2019s ETH<\/a> price forecast is higher than a recent prediction by Finder.com\u2019s panel of 50 fintech specialists. The price comparison portal updated<\/a> the panel\u2019s ethereum price prediction last week, showing its experts expecting ETH<\/a> to hit $5,114 by year-end, $15,364 by 2025, and $50,788 by 2030.<\/p>\n

The price of ETH<\/a> is $4,324.98 and its market cap is $511.16 billion at the time of writing, based on data from Bitcoin.com Markets<\/a>. Ether hit an all-time high<\/a> on Oct. 28. It has climbed 5.5% in the past seven days and 30.7% in the last 30 days.<\/p>\n

The global investment bank formally established<\/a> a crypto trading team in May and launched<\/a> bitcoin derivatives trading in the same month. In June, the bank\u2019s head of digital assets, Mathew McDermott, revealed<\/a> that Goldman Sachs plans to offer futures and options trading in ETH<\/a> in the coming months.<\/p>\n

In July, the bank\u2019s analysts said<\/a> ether looked \u201clike the cryptocurrency with the highest real use potential as Ethereum, the platform on which it is the native digital currency, is the most popular development platform for smart contract applications.\u201d<\/p>\n
