Deleveraging Phase: Bitcoin Stabilizes at $70K After February’s Volatility Flush

Ethereum’s outlook for 2026 has become increasingly contested after the most 
recent downturn in the entire crypto market. Earlier this year, research from 
Standard Chartered suggested that Ethereum could end 2026 near $7,500, a 
target that implies significant upside from current levels. However, recent 
price action, with ETH languishing around $2,000 and lacking clear bullish 
momentum, puts such projections against a very different realistic outlook. 
Standard Chartered’s Ethereum Long-Term View In a January research note, 
Standard Chartered’s digital assets team trimmed its medium-term outlook for 
Ethereum while keeping a highly optimistic vision for the years ahead. The 
bank now sees ether closing 2026 near $7,500, down from an earlier forecast of 
around $12,000, and expects the asset to climb to $15,000 in 2027, $22,000 in 
2028, and eventually $40,000 by the end of 2030. Related Reading: Ethereum 
Price Is Not Going To Keep Falling Forever, Analyst Says According to the 
note, the change is due to weak performance from Bitcoin dragging broader 
dollar-denominated crypto valuations, even as the bank pointed to Ethereum’s 
strengths in stablecoins, decentralized finance, and tokenized assets as 
positives to hold on to. In the research note, digital assets analyst Geoff 
Kendrick noted that 2026 is important not just for price but also for 
Ethereum’s performance relative to bitcoin. Therefore, the most important 
thing for gains is a rebound in the ETH/BTC ratio to levels last seen in 2021. 
The Odds &#8211; Current Price Action Against Bullish Case The path from roughly 
$2,000 to the mid-$7,000s looks very tough compared to what it was at the 
start of the year. This, in turn, has seen the odds of the Ethereum price 
reaching $7,500 reduce drastically. Ethereum started 2026 on a good foot, with 
a rally to $3,370 in the first two weeks of the year. Notably, it failed to 
sustain this rally and has since fallen by about 40% in the past 30 days.

Does He Mean? As it stands, Ethereum is now trading around $2,000, and the 
price has repeatedly failed to close convincingly above the $2,100-$2,150 zone 
in recent sessions. Although the leading altcoin is now back to trading above 
$2,000 after a break below during last week&#8217;s sell-offs, bulls are yet to 
establish any control of price momentum. On-chain data also shows the transfer 
activity surrounding Ethereum is pointing to elevated stress conditions. 
Fortunately for bullish traders, it is still too early in the year to rule out 
the possibility of Ethereum trading at $7,500 in 2026. Several things would 
need to change for an outcome close to Standard Chartered’s 2026 estimate to 
become plausible. One of them is the return of demand and steady inflows into 
Spot Ethereum ETFs. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,025. 
Right now, the cryptocurrency needs to clear the $2,150 resistance and hold 
above it in order to continue the steady push up. Featured image from Pxfuel,
