Multiple crypto analysts suggest that Ethereum (ETH) may have already reached the bottom for this market cycle. However, the second-largest digital asset by market cap is expected to encounter significant price resistance in the near term.
Ethereum Has Likely Hit This Cycle’s Bottom
According to an X post by crypto analyst TraderPA, ETH has likely found this market cycle’s bottom. The analyst shared the following chart showing ETH repeatedly bouncing off a five-year-old support level.
The last time ETH touched this support line, it triggered a powerful rally, with its price surging an impressive 340%. A similar move this time could potentially push ETH to a new all-time high (ATH).
Fellow crypto trader Merlijn The Trader proposed that Ethereum might be on the verge of another parabolic run. He pointed out that ETH appears to follow the ‘1, 2, 3 bounce pattern,’ which previously led to a massive 3,600% gain the last time this setup played out.
For the uninitiated, the 1, 2, 3 bounce pattern is a technical analysis setup where the underlying asset’s price bounces off a trendline – point 1 and 2 in the below chart – followed by a range breakout after bouncing off from point 3.
Crypto analyst CryptoBullet provided a medium-term outlook for ETH’s price action. He suggested that ETH may be primed for a “good mid-term bounce.” He added:
This month ETH hit the 300-Week MA. In its history, ETH hit the 300-Week MA only 2 times: in June 2022 (bear market bottom) and this month – March 2025. My target for the bounce is $2900-3200. Once my target is reached, we will re-evaluate.
ETH Faces Strong Resistance At $2,300
In a recent X post, prominent digital assets analyst Ali Martinez noted that while Ethereum has reclaimed its realized price of $2,040, its next major obstacle lies at $2,300, based on pricing bands analysis.
Meanwhile, on-chain data and other indicators suggest a potential price recovery for ETH. Recent data from Santiment shows that ETH whales – wallets holding large amounts of ETH – accumulated more than 420,000 ETH over five days.
Additionally, ETH reserves on cryptocurrency exchanges hit a new all-time low this week, dropping to 18.3 million tokens. Shrinking ETH reserves on trading platforms often fuel a supply scarcity narrative, potentially driving prices higher.
That said, ETH continues to underperform against Bitcoin (BTC), sliding to fresh multi-year lows with no clear signs of recovery. At press time, ETH trades at $2,052, down 0.9% over the past 24 hours.
