Ethereum Price Chart Today
*Ethereum price updated as of 10 AM.
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 & Historical Data
ETH’s year-to-date (YTD) performance continues to increase and currently sits at 33%. This recent slump in Bitcoin price has affected the YTD gains, which have dropped from 50% since November 11. As of November 22, 2024, if you invested $10,000 in ETH on January 1, 2024, your portfolio, after 317 days, would be up roughly $3,317. Ethereum’s market capitalization stands at $401.6 billion.
Ethereum: The Second-Largest Crypto By Market Cap
Ethereum ranks second in market capitalization, valued at $401.6 billion, after Bitcoin’s $1.73 trillion. Together, BTC & ETH’s market capitalization constitutes 83% of the total crypto market cap.
Since its all-time high of $571 billion in November 2021, Ethereum’s value decreased by half in October, but has spiked recently due to Bitcoin’s new ATH. Still, Ethereum maintains a strong lead over other popular cryptocurrencies:
- Solana (SOL): $98.8 billion
- Ripple (XRP): $89.8 billion
- BNB (BNB): $91.0 billion
Despite this recent downtick and recovery, the 24-hour trading volume of Ethereum is $57.3 billion.
Ethereum’s Crypto Trading Volume Remains High
The 24-hour trading volume of Ethereum is $57.3 billion. Binance is the largest contributor to this trading volume – about 11% is contributed by spot trading and nearly 40% from futures trading. Exchanges like OKX, Bitget, and ByBit follow Binance.
Ethereum Shifts From PoW 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).
Key Ethereum Upgrades in The Past Five Years
Here are some key upgrades in the past five years that shaped Ethereum as the second-largest crypto by market capitalization.
2024:
-
Cancun-Deneb (“Dencun”): This upgrade aimed to improve Ethereum’s scalability, security, and usability, setting the stage for further enhancements.
2023:
-
Shanghai-Capella (“Shapella”): Enabled the withdrawal of staked Ether (ETH), marking a significant milestone in Ethereum’s transition to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm.
2022:
-
Paris (The Merge): Successfully transitioned Ethereum from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm, reducing energy consumption and increasing security.
-
Bellatrix: Prepared the Ethereum network for The Merge by introducing the necessary PoS consensus logic.
-
Gray Glacier: Delayed the “difficulty bomb” that would have slowed down the network, ensuring a smooth transition to PoS.
2021:
-
Arrow Glacier: Delayed the “difficulty bomb” again, providing more time for the transition to PoS.
-
Altair: Introduced several improvements to the Beacon Chain, including better validator incentives and enhanced security.
-
London: Implemented the highly anticipated EIP-1559, which reformed the transaction fee market, making it more efficient and user-friendly.
-
Berlin: Introduced several protocol upgrades, including improved gas efficiency and enhanced security features.
2020:
-
Beacon Chain genesis: Launched the Beacon Chain, marking the beginning of Ethereum’s transition to PoS.
-
Staking deposit contract deployed: Enabled users to deposit ETH and participate in the PoS consensus algorithm.
-
Muir Glacier: Delayed the “difficulty bomb” to ensure a smooth transition to PoS.
ETH Gas & Its Effect on Ethereum Price
The blockchain upgrades Ethereum receives aim to solve the trilemma of blockchain, i.e., balancing decentralization, security, and scalability. The switch to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) enhanced these aspects. Ethereum’s transaction fees (gas fees) plummeted post-upgrade, drawing more investors. Gas fees are like taxes, measured in Gwei, required for secure transactions.
As of November 22, the gas fee for a transaction on the ETH network as of 10 AM is 15.84 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.

Between 2023 and 2050, Ethereum’s 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.
Ethereum Price Analysis: ETH at Make-or-Break Point
Ethereum price today trades at $3,335.9 just below the $3,300 to $3,500 resistance zone. After the failed initial attempt ten days ago, ETH is trying to overcome this critical hurdle.
Investors can expect one of two outcomes – a flip of the hurdle leading to a rally to $4,000 or a rejection leading to a correction that retests $3,000. What will happen with ETH at this make-or-break point?
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at retracing after visiting the overbought zone ten days ago. Typically, this outlook often leads to a retest of the 50 mean level, ideally serving as a strong reversal level. If ETH needs to break out above the aforementioned resistance levels, then a retest of the RSI’s 50 mean level is needed.
Considering that Bitcoin could hit $100k and catalyze a short-term correction over the next three days, ETH could likely face rejection at the $3,300 to $3,500 resistance levels. Considering Ethereum’s lackluster 2024 performance, it wouldn’t be surprising if it corrects 8% and revisits $3,000 before $4,000.
On the other hand, if Bitcoin fails to correct and continues to rally beyond $100k, then Ethereum price could follow its path. Such a development could see ETH flip $3,500 into a support floor, indicating that the next rally will allow it to revisit $4,000.
