Standard Chartered Analysts Says Ethereum Price Will Reach $10,000 If This Happens

Analysts at British multinational bank, Standard Chartered have predicted that the price of Ethereum (ETH) could potentially climb to $10,000 in response to the anticipated political changes set to take place following the upcoming United States (US) Presidential elections. Standard Chartered Predicts Ethereum To $10,000 In a research note by the head of Standard Chartered crypto research, Geoffrey Kendrick, Ethereum could experience a dramatic rise to $10,000 if Donald Trump, the former US President wins the upcoming election.

Delving into the potential impact of a Trump administration on the future of the digital asset industry, Kendrick predicts that both Ethereum and Solana (SOL) will outperform Bitcoin (BTC) significantly, reaching new all-time highs. The report posits that changes in a country’s political regime tend to have a significant influence on the trajectory of leading digital assets over time. Based on this observation, Kendrick expects Solana to significantly outperform Ethereum under a Trump regime. While Ethereum will witness significant growth and possibly maintain its rank as the top altcoin with the largest market capitalization, a Trump win could change the market dynamics, potentially triggering even higher gains and adoption for its competitor, Solana. On a different note, if the current US Vice President, Kamala Harris wins the upcoming elections, Kendrick’s report projects that Ethereum could surge to $7,000, marking a 30% or $3,000 drop from the projected $10,000 target under a Trump administration. However, under Harris’s leadership, Ethereum will solidify its position as the leading altcoin, potentially outperforming Bitcoin and Solana in gains. It’s important to note that Standard Chartered has cut down its earlier forecast for Ethereum by nearly 50%, underscoring the volatility and unpredictability of the market. In an earlier report, the multinational bank had predicted that Ethereum could reach $14,000 by 2025, driven by the approval of Spot Ethereum ETFs. Although Spot Ethereum ETFs have gained said approval and are now trading, Ethereum’s price remains significantly below $3,000. Nevertheless, the results of the US Presidential elections scheduled for November 5, could have a more bullish impact on Ethereum, potentially triggering a massive run to new highs. ETH Faces Drop To $1,600 If Key Support Fails While market experts deliver optimistic projections for Ethereum’s price, a prominent crypto analyst, Ali Martinez has taken a more bearish stance, predicting a significant decline for this altcoin if it fails to hold a crucial support level.

On the other hand, if the top altcoin fails to maintain this level, it could trigger a massive drop to the next support at $1,600. As of writing, the price of Ethereum is trading at $2,432, and a decrease to $1,600 would represent a massive 34.21% plunge for the cryptocurrency.
