Between 2023 and 2050, Ethereum’s price will most likely follow the bullish outlook and aim for the six-digit territory. The lowest price point is $16,092.58, and the highest price of Ether is $145,915.83.
Ethereum Price Analysis: Predicting Next ATH Target for ETH
Ethereum price shows that its 2024’s lackluster performance ended on November 20. Since this point, ETH has shot up nearly 35% and set up a local top at $4,091. Following this uptrend was a 14% correction that formed a local bottom around $3,515. Drawing a trend line connecting the aforementioned swing points shows the formation of an uptrending parallel channel. So far, Ether has tagged twice at the bottom and two at the top and is currently retesting the midpoint of the parallel channel’s midpoint at $3,936 after a 12% rally.
The next target for Ethereum price is the upper limit of the parallel channel at $4,314. From a theoretical standpoint, however, the technical formation should be doubled, which puts the target at $5,274, well above the $4,878 all-time high.
If buyers fail to push Ethereum price higher with Bitcoin collapsing like it did a few days ago then, ETH could reject from the parallel channel’s midpoint and revisit the lower limit at $3,870 support level. A breakdown of this level could send ETH down to $3,000 psychological level.

A Dogecoin (DOGE) price breakout past its previous All-Time High (ATH) price is gradually becoming possible amid the current market setup. While still tied in a long-drawn consolidation, a potential breakout is ahead for the memecoin, according to predictions from market analysts.
Dogecoin Price and Open Interest Outlook
As of this writing, DOGE’s price has changed hands for $0.1569, which has increased by 3.3% in the past 24 hours. This price trend is a testament to how resilient the DOGE price is, having traded at a low spot value of $0.1532. The memecoin has traded at a very close range during this period.
The current DOGE outlook shows a bullish trend in the futures market as showcased by Open Interest data. Data from Coinglass pegs the total Dogecoin committed to the futures market at 9.87 billion DOGE. This was valued at $1.54 billion and has skyrocketed by more than 5% in 24 hours.
Top crypto exchanges like Binance, OKX, and Bybit saw the highest DOGE open interest record. While the price traded at a relatively close range, the open interest commitment proves that traders with leverage are betting on the asset.
DOGE Price to $5.6?
Optimism trails Dogecoin, despite its spot value now trading down 78.71% from its ATH of $0.7376. Market analyst Dogedog told his more than 58,600 followers on X that the price of DOGE is heading to $5.6.

While Dogegod did not provide a timeline or much context for his prediction, he highlighted how the memecoin breaks falling wedges. The analyst is not alone in his projection for the coin, as an earlier DOGE price analysis, Ali Martinez, predicted a $0.29 rally for the asset in the near term.
Although this price trend is not unrealistic, the broader market slowdown may serve as a bottleneck. Key performance metrics already tipped the Dogecoin price in line for a short-term breakout. With trading volume up 6% to more than $586 million as of writing, retail interest in the coin has further skyrocketed.
Dogecoin remains the lead among altcoins being considered for an exchange-traded fund (ETF) product. As reported earlier by CoinGape, 21Shares filed for a spot Dogecoin ETF, the latest asset manager to make the move. The belief is that an approval can usher in institutional funds, which can help fuel the coin’s price growth.

In the latest development in the long-running XRP lawsuit, the US Court of Appeals has granted Ripple and the SEC’s joint motion to suspend their respective appeals. This will give both parties time to finalize the settlement in the long-running legal battle.
XRP Lawsuit: Court Grants Ripple & SEC’s Joint Motion
As revealed in a court document, the US Court of Appeals has granted Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) joint motion to hold the appeal in abeyance. The court has further directed the Commission to file a status report within 60 days of this order.
This court order consequently suspends the ongoing appeal and cross-appeal filed by the SEC and Ripple, respectively. As CoinGape reported, both parties had filed the joint motion to suspend the appeals in light of them reaching a settlement.
The SEC and Ripple argued that holding the appeal in abeyance will help conserve judicial and party resources while they both continue to pursue a negotiated resolution of this matter.
In March, Ripple agreed to drop its cross-appeal against the SEC following the latter’s decision to drop its appeal in the long-running XRP lawsuit. However, the matter is yet to be finalized as both parties revealed in the filing that they need additional time to obtain the Commission approval for their agreement-in-principle.
Once approved, both parties will still need to get an indicative ruling from the District Court. As part of the agreement, Ripple and the SEC had agreed that the former would only pay $50 million out of the $125 million penalty that Judge Analisa Torres awarded against the crypto firm. The Commission also agreed to request that Judge Torres lift the standard injunction that it imposed on Ripple.
Possible Reason For The Delay?
It remains unclear why the Commission has yet to approve the agreement in the XRP lawsuit. However, a possible reason could be that the SEC is holding out for Paul Atkins to assume office.
As CoinGape reported, the US Senate has confirmed Atkins as the next SEC Chair. The next step is for US President Donald Trump to sign off on the confirmation and swear him in as Gary Gensler’s successor.
Once the Commission approves the agreement, Ripple and the SEC will ask Judge Torres for relief from her earlier judgment. Once that happens, the Court of Appeals can strike out the appeal and remand the case to the District court for a full ruling on the agreement.
