Ethereum may have pulled back after teasing $4,956, but fresh network activity shows why so many believe it has the potential to move past $5,000 in a jiffy. Experts note new smart contract deployments have increased once again, driven by DeFi, NFTs, and a series of institutional onboarding. That is a sign of growing developer confidence and applications for real-world use of the Ethereum ecosystem. Bulls are still hopeful: Fundstrat’s Tom Lee has recently theorized ETH could shoot up to $5,500 soon, and Standard Chartered forecasts a year-end target of $7,500. ETH is trading at $4,582 currently, which most view as consolidation before the next rally.
