Ethereum (ETH) price today trades at $3,080.1 as of 10 PM. Ether prices hit a daily high of $3,150.2 today after rising 0.20% on November 21.
Ethereum Price is Up Today: Why?
The Ethereum price trades at $3,080.1 after recovering nearly 4% from the daily low of $3034.84. This uptick is in line with Bitcoin’s 0.90% gain today. If this trend keeps up the New York trading session could propel the value of ETH higher.
*Ethereum price updated as of 10 PM.
Ethereum’s innovative smart contract technology has made it a standout altcoin since its inception in 2015. Continuous major network upgrades ensure Ethereum stays ahead in smart contract innovation. The latest upgrade, Cancun, launched on March 13, 2024.
Ethereum Price History
The year-to-date (YTD) performance of ETH is 8.17%, after dropping form double digits at the start of the week. As of November 21, 2024, if you invested $10,000 in ETH on January 1, 2024, your portfolio, after 299 days, would be worth nearly $10,817. Regardless of Ethereum’s lackluster performance its market capitalization stands at $371.0 billion.
Ethereum Market Cap: The Second-Largest Cryptocurrency
Ethereum ranks second in market capitalization, valued at $371.0 billion, after Bitcoin’s $1.85 trillion. Together, they comprise 83% of the crypto market.
Since its all-time high of $571 billion in November 2021, Ethereum’s value has decreased by half. However, Ethereum maintains a strong lead over other popular cryptocurrencies:
- Solana (SOL): $112 billion
- Ripple (XRP): $63 billion
Despite this recent downtick and recovery, the 24-hour trading volume of Ethereum is $31.6 billion.
Ethereum Trading Volume
The 24-hour trading volume of Ethereum is $31.6 billion. Binance is the largest contributer to this trading volume – about 11% is contributed by spot trading and nearly 40% from futures trading. Exchanges like OKX, Bitget, ByBit follow Binance.
Ethereum Blockchain Upgrade to PoS
The London hard fork is a significant Ethereum blockchain upgrade. It changed the network from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently shared his thoughts on X (formerly Twitter). He explained how Proof-of-Stake (PoS) is more decentralized than Proof-of-Work (PoW).

Influence of ETH Gas on Ethereum Price
Ethereum’s upgrade aims to solve the blockchain trilemma: balancing decentralization, security, and scalability. The switch to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) enhanced these aspects. Post-upgrade, Ethereum’s transaction fees (gas fees) plummeted, drawing more investors. Gas fees are like taxes, measured in Gwei, required for secure transactions.
As of November 21, the gas fee for a transaction on the ETH network as of 10 PM is 9.825 Gwei.
When Ethereum’s on-chain value grows, presenting opportunities, investors flock, driving gas fees up. This typically occurs during market upswings, peaking at all-time highs.
Ethereum Price Prediction & Trends
Despite crypto’s bullish outlook Ethereum price performance remains lackluster especially when comparing to top altcoins. Perhaps, if Bitcoin price overcomes the $100K hurdle, ETH could trigger a massive rally.

Betweem 2023 and 2050, Ethereum price will most likely follow the bullish outlook and aim for the six-digit territory. The highest price of Ether in 2050 based on CoinGape forecasts is $126,482.21
Will Ethererum Rally to $4K or Crash to $2K First?
After a 46% rally in just eight days, Ethereum price is likely to correct as volatility decreases. Many investors are likely to book profits while sidelined buyers wait for a retracement to find a better entry price. Moreoever, the uptrend tagged the $3,352 to $3,497 resistance zone and is currently showing weakness. As a result, the next logical outlook for ETH is a pullback.
The immediate support level at $2,886 is where sidelined buyers could be waiting to deploy captial. In general, the $3,000 to $2,820 zone is a good place to be a buyer. If the overall crypto outlook remains bullish, then BTC should climb to new highs and ETH should follow suit.
In such a case, ETH price should see a strong spike in buying pressure aound $3,000 that should propel it to revisit the $3,352 to $3,497 resistance zone. A breakout should send ETH to the next key psychological level of $4,000.
On the other hand, if Ethereum price fails to hold above $2,829, it would signal weakness. Such a development could invite a spike in selling pressure that could knock ETH down by 9% to revisit the range’s midpoint at $2,564. In worst case scenario, Ether could revisit the range low at $2,309.
