Ethereum ( ETH ) could potentially trade below the crucial $5,000 level on October 1, according to insights from OpenAI’s ChatGPT model. Indeed, this insight comes after Ethereum hit a new record high near $5,000 in late August, but has since retreated, with the $4,500 zone remaining a key level to watch. As of press time, ETH was trading at $4,492, having gained over 6% in the past seven days. ETH seven-day price chart.

Notably, this scenario carries the highest probability, estimated at 40% to 50%, and depends on sustained ETF inflows, resilient macroeconomic conditions, and a decisive breakout above the $4,700–$4,800 resistance band. A more conservative outlook by the model suggested that Ethereum could stall below the $5,000 threshold, consolidating between $4,500 and $4,800. To this end, ChatGPT assigned a probability of this outcome, at 30% to 40%, reflecting a slowdown in institutional inflows or profit-taking at higher levels, absent destabilizing shocks. ETH bearish case At the same time, the AI model outlined a bearish case envisioning a pullback toward the $4,300 and $4,400 zone, with a 10% to 20% likelihood.

It’s worth noting that markets remain on edge ahead of the Fed’s anticipated interest rate cut, expected to introduce fresh volatility. On the other hand, a deeper breakdown below $4,000 is viewed as highly unlikely, with odds of 10% or less. ChatGPT noted that such a scenario would require a major deterioration in macroeconomic conditions or a severe regulatory setback that undermines investor confidence. Featured image via Shutterstock.
