【ETH has fallen nearly 10% this past week, but this time it might be a bit different】
I just checked the data—ETH is quoted at $1,562.
Honestly, with a 24-hour drop of 0.7% and a 7-day drop of 9.5%, once this number comes out, most beginners probably start panicking again.
Don’t worry—I’ll help you sort out what happened this week.
First, let’s talk about the technical picture. ETH is basically churning in a range between 1,522 and 1,614. Trading volume is fairly active, which suggests neither bulls nor bears are fully giving up—they’re all waiting for the other side to blink first. This kind of sideways market is exhausting, but viewed another way, it also means a directional move is coming soon. How long it goes sideways doesn’t matter as much as which side it breaks to next.
On sentiment: the fear index is 12. Last week’s average was 15, and the week before that was still 22. This change is interesting. The numbers are coming down, but the pace of the decline is clearly slowing. It’s like running—you start losing speed quickly at first, but later it becomes harder to keep dropping further. Do you think that’s good or bad? I’d say at least it suggests panic is close to the bottom, so it probably won’t get much worse.
Valuation is the real focus. Compared with its historical highs, ETH is down 68%. What does that mean? For example: you invested 10,000 yuan at the beginning of the year, and now you’re left with 3,200. Honestly, anyone would feel terrible.
But veteran players know this: the harder it falls, the bigger the rebound potential. The key question is— is this time the same as before? Has ETH’s fundamentals changed? Is the ecosystem still intact? If those two things haven’t broken, then this valuation can only be described as ridiculously cheap.
My trading last week was really hard to put into words...
I thought it could stabilize around 1,580, so I added to my position impulsively—but I ended up being stuck in a pretty solid trap. The lesson is: don’t fight the trend, and don’t assume you’re smarter than the market.
Next week, the main thing to watch is support at 1,522. If it breaks, we’ll need to reassess. If it holds, I’ll consider building positions in batches. Chasing price up is something I’m not going to do again.
So what do you think—how will ETH move this week?
A. Hold 1,522 and rebound sideways
B. Break below 1,522 and keep probing the lows
C. Break above 1,614 and kick off a new phase
