Ethereum price predictions on YouTube, checked
By Callsight · Published Oct 9, 2026 · Updated Oct 9, 2026
Figures as of Nov 4, 2026. They change as new windows settle.
As of Nov 4, 2026, Callsight counts 66 calls on Ethereum by name that YouTube channels made in their own words, 65 of them by Coin Bureau. At one year, 22 are Correct, 21 Incorrect and 6 Pending; 17 could not be checked, mostly comparisons with another asset. Of 14 price targets, 5 were reached in time.
What did YouTubers predict for Ethereum?
Almost all of these calls come from one channel, Coin Bureau. The only other channel Callsight tracks that made a checkable call on Ethereum by name is Andrei Jikh, with one.
The Ethereum page lists 128 calls from the channels’ videos, and the record counts 89 of them. Of the rest, 21 are forecasts read out from someone else, listed with their source and never counted. The other 18 are the channels’ own but not scored, such as an event no rule judges, a position the presenter already held, a call made on a livestream or one whose direction is in doubt. Of the counted calls, 23 were about altcoins in general rather than Ethereum by name. The method judges a call about altcoins on Ethereum’s price, the same way for every channel, so the Ethereum page counts them. This article counts only the 66 that name the coin, and covers the other 23 in their own section below.
Of the 66, 39 called for a higher price and 13 for a lower one; 12 compared Ethereum with another asset and 2 named no direction for the price. Each call is checked at six windows, from 30 days to 5 years, and all of them are shown, because a call can be Incorrect at 30 days and Correct at a year. The table counts Coin Bureau’s calls at each window, call by call, so a call said again in a later video counts again.
| Window | Correct | Incorrect | Other verdict | Pending | Not verifiable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 days | 13 | 33 | 2 | 0 | 17 |
| 90 days | 22 | 25 | 1 | 0 | 17 |
| 180 days | 23 | 23 | 0 | 2 | 17 |
| 1 year | 22 | 20 | 0 | 6 | 17 |
| 3 years | 9 | 8 | 0 | 31 | 17 |
| 5 years | 0 | 0 | 0 | 48 | 17 |
The figures here are counts, with no rate. A hit rate says little until it sits beside the base rate of the same calls (how often the price moved the called way anyway), and neither this article nor the Ethereum page sets a base rate for a single coin.
Andrei Jikh made one counted call naming Ethereum, and it is Incorrect at one year. This is the call:

No deadline was stated; the headline is the one-year window. The call is Incorrect at every window that has closed so far: 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, 1 year and 3 years.
Every call on Ethereum, from every channel, is on the Ethereum page, with its words and the verdict at each window. Coin Bureau’s calls on other coins are in Callsight’s article on Coin Bureau’s price predictions. For Bitcoin, see how accurate YouTubers’ Bitcoin price predictions are and the Bitcoin page.
Did the bullish or the bearish calls on Ethereum do better?
Split by the direction called, the one-year results are:
- Coin Bureau: for a higher price, 20 Correct, 10 Incorrect, 5 Pending and 3 that could not be checked; for a lower price, 2 Correct, 10 Incorrect and 1 Pending.
- Andrei Jikh: for a higher price, 0 Correct and 1 Incorrect; for a lower price, none.
Here are Coin Bureau’s calls on the price itself, by the year each was made:
| Year made | For a higher price | For a lower price | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Correct | Incorrect | Other | Correct | Incorrect | Other | |
| 2022 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 4 | 0 |
| 2023 | 7 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 5 | 0 |
| 2024 | 8 | 6 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 |
| 2025 | 3 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 2026 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Ethereum ended higher in 27 of the 43 one-year windows these calls were checked over. Over a stretch when the price mostly rose, a call for a rise is more often Correct whoever makes it, and over one when it mostly fell, a call for a fall is. That is what a base rate measures, and without one these counts cannot say whether either side did better than the market’s own drift.
Two of the calls follow, one in each direction, both with a deadline in the words. The rule at the end of this article chose them.

Did anyone on these channels predict ETH at $10,000?
Yes, once. One Ethereum target counted here is at that level or above: $10,000, from a Coin Bureau video of Jul 24, 2025, Incorrect at one year (its words and every window are on the call’s page). No Ethereum target counted here goes higher.
Callsight records only the channels it tracks, so a $10,000 forecast made anywhere else is not in this record. A target that a presenter reads out from someone else is listed with its source and never counted. Callsight makes no forecast of its own for Ethereum: this article reports what was said and what the price did next.
How often were Ethereum price targets reached?
A price target names a level. It is Correct when the day’s high reaches the level inside the window (the day’s low, for a target below the price), and Partly correct when the window’s last close had covered at least 50% of the way from the entry price to the level. This article reads each target at the deadline its card shows, where the words named one, and at one year otherwise; the card itself leads with the one-year window, the headline for every call.
Of the 14 price targets counted here, 5 were reached, 4 were not and 1 is Pending; 4 could not be checked, each for the reason on its card. Only one of the 14 has a deadline in its words that the card shows; the others are read at one year. Coin Bureau set all 14. A target reached after its window counts as not reached; the longer windows on the call’s page show whether the price got there later. Whether the distance to a target changes how often it is reached, across coins and shares, is the subject of Callsight’s article on how often price targets are hit.
Why can one call be Incorrect at its deadline and Correct later?
Every window is published, and the headline is fixed in advance: one year, for every call. A deadline named in the words is shown beside it and never enters a rate. So a target can miss the deadline its words set and still be reached inside a longer window, and the call’s page then shows both verdicts. The call below is one such target.
“taken together these indicators suggest that another leg lower could be on the cards for eth in the short term It's weekly chart suggests it could fall as low as 2.5k in the coming weeks”Entry price (first close after the video)

ETH was $3,421 on Jul 2, 2024. The target was $2,500. Between then and Jul 2, 2025 the low was $1,385, so the level was reached.

Correct
The deadline on its card is Jul 23, 2024, 21 days after the video. ETH’s low by then was $2,810, so at the deadline the call is Incorrect. It is Incorrect at 30 days too, because by then the price had still not fallen to $2,500. It got there later, and the card shows the call Correct at 90 days. The count of targets above reads it at the deadline.
Why are some calls on altcoins listed under Ethereum?
Some calls name a group of coins rather than one. A call about altcoins in general is judged on Ethereum’s price, under a table fixed once for every channel alike, and its card says which word was recorded. The Ethereum page lists and counts 23 calls of that kind: 22 from Coin Bureau and 1 from Graham Stephan. At one year they stand at 5 Correct, 10 Incorrect, 1 Pending and 7 that could not be checked. Graham Stephan’s only counted call filed under Ethereum is one of them.
This article counts them only in this section, because their words do not name Ethereum. A verdict on one of them is a verdict on Ethereum’s price, not on altcoins as a whole. If you think a call was filed under the wrong coin, the corrections page says how to report it.
Why can’t some Ethereum calls be checked?
At one year, 17 of the 66 calls counted here are Not verifiable, each with the reason on its card: 12 compared Ethereum with another asset, which the method does not check yet and never scores as a plain rise or fall; 2 named a level the price had already passed when the video went out; 1 gave a figure that is not a price, such as a percentage; and 2 named no direction. The channels also made 126 remarks filed under Ethereum that could not be right or wrong at all, with no direction or nothing to check, so they are not listed as calls. The methodology page says what counts as a call.
How was each call checked?
Each call is quoted word for word from the video and linked to the second it was said. Its entry price is the first daily close strictly after the video went public, from Binance; a coin pays no dividends, so the return is the price change alone. It is then checked at six windows, from 30 days to 5 years, and one year is the headline. A call that the price will rise or fall is Within band when the move is smaller than 0.5% either way, and a result Within band counts as neither Correct nor Incorrect. Many of these calls are hedged, saying that a price could rise or will likely fall; a hedged call that still names a direction is checked like any other, and its card shows how it was put. The rules are the same for every channel, and the methodology page gives them in full. If you think a call was misread, the corrections page says how to report it.
How these examples were chosen
The cards were chosen on Oct 9, 2026, from calls that name Ethereum, by a rule set out before the choosing. For Coin Bureau, the rule takes, in each direction, the most recent call on the direction alone (not a price target) whose words set a deadline the card shows: one that is Correct at that deadline and one that is Incorrect there. It then takes the most recent price target reached at the window this article reads it at, and the most recent one not reached. For each other channel, it takes the channel’s counted calls naming Ethereum. A call was passed over if a question about its reading was open; if its words were about altcoins in general, held two outcomes or did not say plainly which way the price would go; if they named a deadline the record did not register, or a span that belongs to something other than the price; or if they named a level, such as a price floor, that the record reads as a target. That left three places empty on the day. No call for a lower price was Correct at its deadline, and none of the calls for a higher price that were Incorrect at theirs, or of the targets that were reached, passed those checks. Every call is listed on the Ethereum page.
