The probability of Ethereum hitting the $5,000 mark by the end of the year has dropped to less than 10%, according to Cointelegraph, citing data from Derive.
“At its peak, the probability rose to 16%, but it has recently declined to just over 8%,” noted Sean Dawson, Head of Research at the options exchange, in a report.
Dawson also highlighted that the balanced trading of Ethereum put and call options indicates neutral market sentiment.
As of now, Ethereum is trading near $3,720, approximately 24% below its all-time high of $4,878, according to CoinGecko.
Trader CoinMamba expressed a more optimistic outlook, stating that $5,000 remains his target price for Ethereum by year-end.

“Do what you will with this information,” he added.

“TradeFi is scooping up cheap ETH,” commented researcher Anthony Sassano on the inflows into Ethereum ETFs.
According to SoSoValue, daily inflows into spot-based Ethereum ETFs have remained positive since November 22.
It’s worth noting that some experts recently identified signals pointing to Ethereum potentially reaching new all-time highs soon, citing sustained capital flows into ETFs.
