Hello everyone! I might be back here to share some cool analytics again. But I'm not promising anything, so let's get going!

During the 2023–2025 cycle, Ethereum delivered one of the weakest performances among major assets

While the market was rallying, $ETH only managed to briefly touch its previous all-time high

ETH
ETHUSDT
2,097.9
-1.14%

For a top 2 asset by market cap — that’s extremely bad result. At this point, it’s fair to say: this patient is more dead than alive

Despite countless upgrades and “fixes”. Ethereum still lags behind newer, more efficient blockchains. Ethereum technology is outdated

ETH is likely to lose its leading position and gradually fade into the pool of average altcoins

Hard to accept? 🤔

Of course. People are emotionally attached and will keep justifying it

💡 But facts don’t care:

  • weak performance

  • broken relative strength

  • declining dominance

The price action over the past cycle is already confirming one thing Ethereum is in decline

📊 Technical analysis

1️⃣ First, let's look at the ETH price chart paired with $BTC

BTC
BTCUSDT
77,126.2
+0.42%

During the whole bull run 2023-2025, Ethereum kept losing value vs Bitcoin

The only notable bounce came in April 2025 — and even that was weak

Current stats:

  • Down -65% vs BTC from the 2022 peak

  • At the worst point → -79%

Even on the bounce, ETH failed to break its long-term downtrend

Instead → it got rejected and moved lower 📉

Structure:

  • Trading below long-term moving averages

  • Clear bearish trend vs BTC

  • No signs of strength

What needs to happen for ETH to make new highs right now? 🤔

We simply don’t see that scenario

More likely after a short bounce → continuation lower

I think ETH will break its 2019 lows vs BTC

This isn’t just weakness. This is a long-term loss of dominance

2️⃣ Now let's move on to the classic ETH/USDT chart

I already explained why Ethereum looks structurally weak long-term.
Now the chart is starting to confirm it.


ETH has officially lost the rising support trendline that was holding the entire local bounce structure together. And this is very important.

Because until now, bulls could still argue: “it’s just consolidation before continuation higher.” But after the trendline breakdown, the structure changes completely.

📊 What we see now:

  • bearish triangle breakdown

  • loss of local support

  • rejection below MA200D

  • lower highs continue forming

  • RSI rolling over again

  • volume fading during recovery attempts

The entire move from April now increasingly looks like:

  1. short squeeze

  2. relief rally

  3. distribution before continuation lower

Not the beginning of a new bull cycle.

💡 The biggest problem for ETH right now

There is simply no aggressive buyer. Every rally gets sold almost immediately.

And notice how weak the bounce became near the $2400–2500 zone. That level acted as major resistance again.


Meanwhile:

  • BTC dominance remains high

  • liquidity conditions worsen

  • yields continue rising

  • capital rotates into stronger assets

This creates a very dangerous environment for weak altcoins.

📌 Technically, ETH now risks opening the path toward:

  1. $1900 support zone first

  2. then potentially → $1500

  3. and under full panic conditions even lower liquidity zones become realistic

Especially if BTC loses strength too.

At this point, ETH no longer trades like a market leader. It trades like a weak high-beta asset inside a late-stage bear market rally.

📊 Conclusion:

It’s time for ETH to step aside. The market already has plenty of more interesting projects with:

  • near-zero fees

  • faster execution

  • stronger ecosystems

Of course, many will laugh at this post. But the market always puts everything in its place

Don’t fall in love with toxic positions. Especially when we are already in a bear market

✔️ If you're tired of losing money to the market — follow. We fix that here
