A year of buying ETH
Over the last 364 days ETH closed between $1,566.9 (June 25, 2026) and $4,710.3 (September 12, 2025). One hundred dollars put in at the low would be worth $158 today; at the high, $53. The current price $2,477.6 is above 204 of those 364 daily closes, so a purchase on a random day of that stretch would be in profit 56% of the time — fees aside.
A typical day moves ETH by 4.3%: a $1,000 position swings about $43 a day.
