Ethereum, the second largest asset in the cryptocurrency market, is anchored at a critical threshold that analysts call the “five-year demand region”. Market experts such as Merlijn The Trader and StockTrader Max announced in their statements on Monday that the ETH price has entered a long-term accumulation phase, falling to April 2025 levels. Although the current picture disappoints those who expect short-term gains, institutional investors’ “dip” buying continues unabated.
Historical Accumulation Zone and Momentum Signals
Analyst Merlijn The Trader emphasizes that the price range that Ethereum is in has not historically been a distribution, but rather a strong accumulation area. The return of Ether prices to the levels of the deep bear market period between July 2022 and November 2023 led to a strategic wait in the market. While prices are trying to rebalance after the levels below $ 1,500 seen in April 2025, experts warn that the horizontal course in this region may last for months. However, this stasis is described as preparation for an “explosive rush”, reminiscent of the calm before the storm.
On the technical side, the “hidden bull mismatch” detected by the analyst named ‘Sykodelic’ on the weekly chart is one of the most concrete data that increases the excitement. The fact that the price maintains a higher low while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) makes a lower low proves that the momentum is stronger than the price. The last time this rare technical indicator worked, there was a 100% rally in Ethereum price. Tom Lee of Fundstrat also supports the technical data, stating that the direction of fundamental headwinds in the market is positive despite the effects of “crypto winter”.
Investor Profile is Changing: Patience Will Help
Ethereum is no longer a “turn the corner” tool that creates millionaires overnight, but is turning into a portfolio asset that spans years. Evaluations made by Investor ‘StockTrader Max’ remind us that ETH holders should make annual projections, not weekly or monthly. Although the asset’s failure to fall to $ 1,830 and overcome the $ 1,900 resistance poses a risk for impatient investors, major players see this situation as an advantage. Although the current price movements in the market are described as “terrible”, the long-term perspective has not changed.
On the corporate side, structures such as Ethereum DAT BitMine continue their strategic treasury management with determination. The organization, which added 51,162 ETH to its portfolio in the past week, not only evaluates the declines as buying opportunities, but also maximizes the return through the staking method. Ether, which fell to $ 1,830 in the Asian session on Tuesday morning, is trying to determine its direction in an environment where technical and fundamental data conflict. The fact that the upward movement has not started yet despite positive fundamental data shows that the appetite for accumulation in the market will continue for a while.
