Ethereum (ETH) had a weak start to 2025, losing nearly 7% in January. However, according to historical data, February and March usually stand out as lucrative periods for ETH. Analysts note that ETH has experienced strong price increases in these two months in the past.
Ethereum’s January Performance and Historical Trends
Over the course of January, Ethereum fell 6.7%, from a peak of $3,400 on the first day of the year to a low of $3,170. This was against the backdrop of leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin and general market trends.
However, historical data shows that February and March have generally seen positive price action for ETH. According toCoinGlass data, Ethereum has increased in February for the last six years. For example:
- In 2024, ETH gained 46% in February, rising from $2,280 to $3,380.
- In 2017, Ethereum rose 48% in February, from $11 to $16.
March has also been mostly lucrative for the leading altcoin. Seven of the last nine years have recorded positive price movements in March.
Analyst Insights: Ethereum’s Potential
Despite Ethereum’s poor performance in January, analysts and supporters are optimistic about the asset’s long-term potential. Commenting on ETH’s technical chart, crypto analyst “Wolf” said:
“In my eight years as an analyst, I’ve never seen a chart this strong. The potential here is unparalleled. This is the best asymmetric investment you can make.”
Anthony Sassano, a prominent figure in the Ethereum community, drew attention to the leadership changes at the Ethereum Foundation last week, stating that a new motivation and a strong will to win has emerged within the community.
Ethereum’s Market Performance
ETH is currently trading at $3,000, which is more than an 8% drop on a daily basis. Moreover, ETH is 35% off its all-time high of $4,878 reached in November 2021. Bitcoin is also struggling to catch up with the performance of other major market cap crypto assets such as XRP and Solana.
Future Prospects: Strong Expectations for February and March
Based on historical trends, ETH has the potential to rebound in February and March. Analysts predict that ETH could experience a price increase during this period. Big moves like the 46% gain in February 2024 keep Ethereum traders hopeful for the next two months.
Despite the leading altcoin’s poor January performance, based on historical data and analysts’ optimistic views, February and March are expected to bring strong gains. Ethereum’s long-term potential remains attractive for investors.
