Ethereum's price fell below the key $2,000 level for the first time since March, prompting a surge in retail buying driven by fear of missing out. However, analysts warn that this bullish retail sentiment may signal more short-term price declines. Despite the bearish outlook, Standard Chartered remains optimistic about Ethereum's long-term potential, forecasting prices could reach $4,000 by the end of 2026 and $40,000 by 2030, citing strong blockchain fundamentals and market dominance in stablecoins and tokenized assets. Meanwhile, rising futures open interest amid falling prices suggests increased short selling, indicating continued volatility ahead.
