- Ethereum dropped 7% in January, falling to $3,183 despite Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies showing gains.
- However, February and March have historically been bullish months for ETH, offering hope for a potential rebound.
Ethereum (ETH) started 2025 on a bearish note, shedding 7% in January as it diverged from the broader crypto market and Bitcoin’s performance. Despite this lackluster start, history suggests brighter days may be just around the corner for the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency.
ETH’s journey this month saw it tumble from its January 1 peak of $3,400 to an intraday low of $3,170 on January 27, according to CoinGecko. However, analysts remain optimistic about Ethereum’s near-term prospects, citing its strong historical performance during February and March.
February and March: Ethereum’s Sweet Spot
Market data highlights Ethereum’s favorable track record in February. Over the past six years, ETH has consistently posted gains during this month, with its most impressive performance in February 2024, where it surged 46%, climbing from $2,280 to $3,380. Even as far back as 2017, Ethereum recorded a February gain of 48%, rising from $11 to just below $16.
March follows closely as another strong month for Ethereum. Over the past nine years, ETH has delivered positive returns in seven Marches, with April also showing solid gains for six of those years.
Analysts Remain Confident
Despite the recent dip, Ethereum enthusiasts and market experts see this as a temporary blip. Veteran analyst “Wolf” shared on X (formerly Twitter): “The potential here is unmatched. It’s the best asymmetrical bet you can make.”
Ethereum educator Anthony Sassano also chimed in, noting a reinvigorated community spirit following leadership changes at the Ethereum Foundation. Sassano stated, “The last week in Ethereum has been a complete and total shift in not just vibes but in the community’s hunger to win.”
Currently trading at $3,183, Ethereum is down 35% from its all-time high of $4,878 set in November 2021. While it lags behind high-cap peers like Bitcoin and Solana in recent performance, its historical trends in February and March, coupled with unwavering community support, suggest ETH could be poised for a robust rebound in the coming months.
Investors and traders will undoubtedly keep a close eye on Ethereum as it enters what has traditionally been a bullish period for the asset.
