What will happen to Ethereum in December: what to watch for?
December's close for ETH is one of the key benchmarks of the year. The final candle of December (a well-known technical indicator) often serves as a starting point for a new market cycle. It reflects market sentiment, influences investor confidence, and sets the price direction in the early months of the following year.
Looking at the dynamics of Ethereum since 2020, the December closing has almost always been higher than the previous year. The only exception was the period from 2021 to 2022, when ETH collapsed by almost 67.5%. After that, the trend returned to growth.
• From 2022 to 2023, Ethereum grew by 90.7%.
• From 2023 to 2024, this figure increased by another 46.1%.
December 2025, however, promises to be much less stable and clear. The current price of ETH remains below the closing level in December 2024 – $3,332. Market signals are ambiguous, and uncertainty is growing.

Ethereum is in limbo: what will happen to the price in December?
November 2025 was tough for Ethereum, Bitcoin, and the entire crypto market. Despite the pressure within the sector and the unfavorable global situation, ETH managed to close the month at around $3,000. However, the recent drop to $2,620 is alarming – experts say this is not a coincidence. The market clearly tested lower levels.
Analysts emphasize the importance of the area at $2,800. If ETH cannot hold it and does not recover to the level of $3,000, the price may drop to lower support levels.
Also, some optimistic analysts say that by the end of January we can fix the price of ETH at $6000-7000. This is happening because institutional capital is flowing into the most significant sector of the economy.
Ethereum maintains a significant advantage due to its developed ecosystem. An update called Fusaka is expected at the end of the year. It plans to become a key driver of ETH growth. Additionally, the approval of an Ethereum ETF in the USA in early 2026 may attract additional institutional interest, stimulating demand and contributing to the token's price growth.

Let's summarize
Investors are exercising caution due to the uncertain trajectory of BTC, which is weighing down on Ethereum and altcoins. If Bitcoin remains weak, the rest of the market will also suffer.
However, the data shows that individual tokens (for example, those that are part of our top crypto assets) continue to grow. The market has become selective, and traders need to seek out promising sectors and trends instead of relying on the rise of the entire market.
Now investor attention is focused on the AI segment. Among the new pre-sales in this direction, the project SUBBD stands out. You will find details about it on the official website, where the token pre-sale is currently underway.
Thus, the end of 2025 has become the most interesting for analysts and the most tense for investors in recent times.
Some analysts talk about the onset of crypto winter, a prolonged period when cryptocurrencies decline or remain at low levels.
