Technical analysis by without_worries about Symbol ETH on 8/25/2025

** forecast to print in the next 60 days at most ** 45% return after 4 years, that is what fans of Ethereum will rejoice over once the forecast to $6.6k is met. 45%, what a tremendous consumption of time and energy for such a insignificant return. A return that is largely evaporated when inflation is factored in. By comparison Gold as printed 100% return since and Ethereum 0% The argument foundations The much hyped Bitcoin ETF was said to start a liquidity rush into other assets. No such thing ever happened, it was a liquidity trap, not a catapult. The folks using Bitcoin ETFs today have no interest in selling gains for transfer into Ethereum, You’d be lucky if the majority of ETF users knew what a Bitcoin address looked like. From the market lows of November 2022 Bitcoin has returned 700% until 125k. Ethereum during the same period, 300%. In previous cycles Ethereum achieved 18,000% in 2017 and 5000% in 2021 as fresh Bitcoin liquidity entered the market. By early 2024 the Bitcoin ETF was introduced, removing any opportunity of fresh liquidity flowing into Ethereum as in previous cycles. The recent idea on the OTHERS market total asked the question “Is alt season dead?”, clearly yes. There was never going to be an alt token season in this cycle with the ETF introduction and regulation success afforded to Bitcoin. If you wanted risk exposure to Crypto, you bought Bitcoin. Everything else was a regulation nightmare. An alt token season typically requires 3 months minimum. This current cycle has around 40 days until completion. Unless this time is different, the halving cycles since the start of Bitcoin has with pin point accuracy informed the market when the top was in. See below. Complete alt token collapse? Yes. The signal to cause millions of tokens in circulation to drop to oblivion will be a signal from Ethereum itself. If Ethereum could not match the performance of Bitcoin’s bull market then one must ask, how fair Ethereum in a Bitcoin bear market that begins in a little over 40 days? 40 days until Bear market? 40 days remain of this bull market. That’s it. 40 days and 40 nights as influencers gaslight their audiences with prophecy of $10k and beyond come quarter 4, October through December. However the chart tells us the outlook is very different. The Halving cycle and market top can be measured with pinpoint precision since the inception of Bitcoin itself. To ignore those facts is emotional. Notice each following cycle the market is weaker than the previous. The entire crypto space is preparing to enter a period of complete collapse and irrelevance. A collapse that will be felt most painfully with Ethereum as so many have been led to believe it is the next thing. Influencers talk of institutional acquisition leading investors allocate pension exposure. What a nightmare the other side will be. $6.6k Maybe $7k, and then the death of Ethereum The entire history of Ethereum price action is shown on the above 2 week chart. This is a log growth curve chart. As the name suggests, it is a chart that tells you if an asset is in growth or decline. Ethereum has been in growth for 10 years exactly. Look left, red arrows. That growth has enjoyed support (blue arrows) until a price action breakout on February 2025. The breakout now seeks to confirm resistance, which is around $6.6k to $7k. We can even see a bearish rising wedge pattern form as price action approaches the legacy support. It is note worthy to see the apex of the rising wedge matches with the expected Bitcoin cycle top. Dazzled? You should be, this is many hours of study. Conclusion - What does all mean for the crypto market in the years ahead? This is best kept for another post. Essentially the Crypto currency asset class is a “Growth sector”, which is a description of assets people chase because they believe they’ll grow in the future. It has nothing to do with ability to generate income on merit or to provide a useful function in society. After 10 years of following this space, there’s not been no meaningful value proposition offered. Just clever marketing and eye candy. The Crypto currency asset class is about to have its Dot.com moment. Ww
