Ethereum Signals Strongest Buying Opportunity in Five Years as Retail Sells and Institutions Buy

▲ Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum (ETH) has entered a powerful demand zone not seen in five years, signaling a potential confirmation of a historic bottom. Market experts analyze that the current sluggish sideways movement represents the final accumulation phase before an explosive rally.

According to cryptocurrency media outlet CryptoPotato on February 24 (local time), analyst Merlijn The Trader noted that Ethereum is currently positioned within the strongest demand zone of its five-year cycle. “Historically, this price range has been an accumulation phase by major players rather than a distribution phase,” Merlijn said, emphasizing that instead of trying to catch the perfect bottom, it is important to increase exposure before upward expansion occurs.

Ethereum’s current price is approaching the $1,500 level recorded during the sharp crash of April 2025, aligning with the lows seen during the deep bear market from July 2022 to November 2023. Investment expert StockTrader Max pointed out that Ethereum is no longer an asset that creates overnight millionaires, stating, “Short-term investors may be disappointed, but for long-term investors with a multi-year horizon, it remains an attractive portfolio asset.”

Technical indicators are also showing positive reversal signals. Analyst Sykodelic observed a so-called “bullish hidden divergence” on the weekly chart, where prices are forming higher lows while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is forming lower lows. He referenced past instances when similar patterns led to 100% price surges, suggesting that strong upward momentum may be building despite the current weak price performance.

Tom Lee of Fundstrat also assessed that while the fundamentals of the digital asset market remain solid, price action has temporarily stagnated. BitMine, the Ethereum DAT managed by Lee, recently added and staked 51,162 ETH in just one week, maintaining an aggressive accumulation strategy during the downturn. Lee stated, “Even amid this mini crypto winter, we are systematically accumulating Ethereum and focusing on optimizing returns on our holdings.”

Ethereum has recently slipped to the $1,830 level during Asian trading hours, struggling to hold the $1,900 support line. While it has fallen close to the low recorded on February 6, leaving room for further short-term correction, experts view this as a long-term buying opportunity. Investors worldwide are watching closely to see whether Ethereum can solidify support within this demand zone and stage a powerful breakout reminiscent of its past glory.
