The Ethereum (ETH) Rainbow Chart is predicting that the second-ranked cryptocurrency by market cap is likely to remain within its long-term valuation corridor by February 1, 2026, pointing to moderate upside rather than an extreme move.

With Ethereum trading around $2,895 at press time, the chart suggests a likely price range clustered near the lower-to-mid valuation bands in the near term.

ETH price prediction

For February 1, 2026, the Rainbow Chart’s lowest band, labeled ‘Fire Sale’, spans roughly $994.14 to $1,340.56 and reflects periods of extreme pessimism when Ethereum has historically traded well below its long-term trend. Above it, the ‘Undervalued’ band ranges from about $1,340.56 to $1,843.11, signaling prices that remain discounted despite improving sentiment.

The ‘Accumulate’ band extends from approximately $1,843.11 to $2,577.16 and represents levels where long-term investors have historically built positions as downside risk diminishes. 

Just above it, the ‘Still Cheap’ band spans roughly $2,577.16 to $3,652.96. With ETH at $2,895 in late January, price action currently sits within this band, suggesting Ethereum is inexpensive relative to its long-term growth curve but no longer deeply undervalued.

The next zone, the ‘Steady’ band, ranges from about $3,652.96 to $5,252.44 and reflects balanced market conditions where price closely tracks the long-term trend and speculative excess is limited. A gradual move into this band by February 1 would imply ETH trading in the low-to-mid $3,000 range, consistent with the chart’s trajectory if momentum remains stable.

ETH extreme price level outlook 

Above fair value, the ‘HODL’ band spans roughly $5,252.44 to $7,615.88 and signals rising optimism and stronger bullish momentum. 

Higher still, the ‘Is This the Flippening?’ band ranges from about $7,615.88 to $11,055.84, reflecting heightened enthusiasm and increasingly stretched valuations. The ‘But Have We Earned It?’ band follows, spanning approximately $11,055.84 to $15,784.04, a zone historically associated with late-cycle optimism.

At the top of the spectrum, ‘Maximum Bubble Territory’ ranges from roughly $15,784.04 to $22,464.62 and represents extreme euphoria, where prices have historically proven unsustainable.

It’s worth noting that the Ethereum Rainbow Chart plots ETH’s price on a logarithmic scale and fits it to an expanding long-term growth curve divided into colored bands reflecting adoption cycles, volatility, and diminishing returns. It does not predict exact prices but shows where Ethereum sits relative to its historical trend.
