Major institutions are diverging on Ethereum's trajectory. One analyst sees ETH correcting to $7,500 in the near term through 2026, but turns notably optimistic for the longer horizon—projecting $30,000 by 2029 and climbing to $40,000 by 2030. The split between bearish near-term and bullish multi-year outlook raises questions: are these targets grounded in fundamental cycles and on-chain adoption patterns, or do they reflect institutional positioning? The gap between 2026's pessimism and 2029's rally forecast is worth examining. What's your take—does the timeline check out against current ETH fundamentals?

7500 is still too optimistic; I think it will still fall... But reaching 30,000 in 2029 is believable; it just depends on when the institutions will truly go all in.

7500 yuan? Laughing out loud, these institutions are probably just tricking retail investors into buying the dip again.

7500 bucks? Forget it. These institutions keep switching strategies, and when they suddenly shout 30k in 2029, it's a classic pump-and-dump scheme.

Not convinced, this pattern of falling first and then rising is outdated. Institutions just love to harvest retail investors like this.

First drop to 7500 and then wait three years to multiply five times? I really don't understand this logic... Why do institutions love to make such predictions that are like a roller coaster of extremes?

Is it true that 7500 is dropping... Saying it's falling on one hand and shouting 30000 on the other, I'm so tired of this routine already.

Cut in 2026 to 7500, then tenfold in 2029? That logic is too fantastical, it feels like just a tactic for institutions to shift blame.

7500 to 40,000? That's such a big gap. It looks like it's waiting for the bottom to accumulate positions.
