The Ethereum price chart shows the live ETH to USD rate across multiple timeframes — from 1-minute intraday data up to all-time historical prices since Ethereum's launch in 2015.

Reading the ETH Price Chart

Technical traders use the ETH USD chart to identify patterns such as support and resistance levels, moving averages, and momentum indicators. On the 4-hour chart, Ethereum's 50-day moving average is currently rising, suggesting short-term bullish momentum. However, the 200-day moving average has been falling since February 2026, indicating longer-term caution.

ETH Price History Highlights

Ethereum launched in July 2015 at an ICO price of $0.311 USD. The token surged during the 2017 bull run, reaching $1,400 for the first time. Following the 2020–2021 DeFi boom, ETH climbed to its all-time high of $4,946 USD in November 2021.

Early 2026 saw a notable decline, attributed to macroeconomic concerns and a significant ETH sell-off by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. The price dropped to a 52-week low of $1,385 USD before recovering to current levels near $2,118 USD.

ETH Price Volatility

Over the past 30 days, Ethereum has experienced 5.31% price volatility, with 14 out of 30 days closing in positive territory (green days). This volatility is typical for major cryptocurrencies and reflects the ongoing interaction between speculative trading, network usage metrics, and macroeconomic factors.
