The market for Ethereum price on September 12, 2026, assigns an 87 percent probability to a close above $2,490. This figure leads a steep drop-off in odds for higher price targets.

The single most significant data point is the 87-cent price for the $2,490 strike. This indicates a high confidence level for the asset clearing that specific level. The contract expires on September 12, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. EDT.

The next tier, $2,530, trades at 62 cents. The probability drops sharply to 28 cents for the $2,570 threshold. The highest listed target, $2,610, commands only 10 cents. These figures reflect the current distribution of market expectations.
