Ethereum Long-Term Holders Show Capitulation Amid Market Volatility

Ethereum Recovery Overview

  • Ethereum surged over 21% from a low of $1,380 following US President Trump's announcement of a 90-day pause on tariffs for most countries.
  • Long-term holders are selling at a loss, which historically signals potential market bottoms.
  • Market volatility remains high due to geopolitical unrest and macroeconomic instability.
  • Since late December, Ethereum has dropped over 60%, raising concerns about a bear market.
  • Analyst Ali Martinez suggests current conditions may offer a buying opportunity for contrarian investors.

Current Market Conditions

  • Ethereum recently bounced back from sub-$1,400 levels, signaling some bullish sentiment.
  • A pivotal test is emerging to determine if the recovery will sustain or if further declines are imminent.

Technical Analysis

  • Ethereum is forming an “Adam & Eve” bullish reversal pattern on the 4-hour chart.
  • Key resistance at $1,820 needs to be reclaimed to confirm this bullish structure.
  • Breakout through the convergence of the 200 moving average and exponential moving average around $1,900 could indicate sustained upward movement.
  • If ETH fails to reclaim $1,800, it may remain rangebound between current levels and support near $1,300.
