Is This a Good Time to Buy Ethereum?

Ethereum is only 30% away form its record high, and investors are wondering if this is a good time to buy the token.


Ethereum (ETH) sits at $3,339 (ETH/USD) today and is about 30% away from its all-time high. Is this the right time to buy or have investors waited too long already?

Ethereum now just 30% away from all-time high

The coin has grown by about 30% this year, which means that by the end of the year, it may be sitting at a new record high. This key price level has investors wondering if they should be putting their money into Ethereum or something else.

 

Ethereum is down 1.31% today, but its trade volume has climbed by 38%. There is renewed interest in the coin, and that has been partially fueled by the release of spot ether ETFs. These new financial assets have hit the market with a bang and brought in millions of dollars of investment. There is concern that ETFs will flame out, though, especially if investors are buying in at the wrong time.

There is no guarantee that ETFs will continue to sustain the level of momentum they currently have, and investors need to be wary about putting their money into what is a new product for the crypto market.

Will an Ethereum Investment Now Pay Off?

Ethereum is expected to grow this year, perhaps even setting a new record, but the crypto market has been unsteady over the past couple months. A combination of high inflation, public lawsuits, and the dumping of seized assets has hurt the market’s ability to grow like it should have been able to.

Even if Ethereum does improve later this year, expectations have definitely become tempered during the second quarter compared to the very robust first quarter of 2024. Investing in Ethereum now will likely pay off in the future, but not at the exponential rate that was earlier expected in 2024. Investors will likely have to wait a while to see a decent return on their investment from this crypto token.

A few factors will help push Ethereum forward and drive investor interest- lower inflation, the success of ETFs, and government support for cryptocurrency. Investors should be watching these factors to see if the time is right to make a move in Ethereum. For now, we would advise caution for those who want to invest heavily in this token.
