Ah, Ethereum. The once mighty beast, crawling towards the $2,000 mark like a man wounded in battle, desperately clutching to what it can of the past. For a month now, it has fought valiantly, but alas, the bears have returned, once again having their way with it, dragging it down by a measly 4%. But let us not be too hasty in our judgment. The situation, though bleak, might not be as disastrous as it seems-no, it might yet find redemption, in time.
Oh, and the macro charts? They are positively stomach-churning. Ethereum, the once grand champion of altcoins, has barely managed to drag itself over the $2,000 threshold, as if crawling past its 2021 peak in some sort of wounded triumph. Yet here it stands, more than 60% away from its all-time high, teetering on the edge of a precipice. How delightful!
But, as they say, every cloud has its silver lining-or is it just the distant memory of a failed attempt at something better? Some analysts, those ever-hopeful souls, insist that Ethereum might yet rise from the ashes. They speak of increased network activity and, of course, the magical nostalgia of previous cycles. History, they say, might repeat itself, for Ethereum has been known to deliver jaw-dropping returns after it valiantly defends the sacred zone it now tests.
Can ETH Rocket by 4x Next?
Enter Merlijn The Trader, who speaks of this zone with the fervor of a prophet. According to his cryptic musings on a Saturday post on X, “Ethereum is entering the zone that decided the last cycle.” Four years ago, Ethereum bottomed in this very spot, between the $1.2K and $1.6K range, as it swept the liquidity of despair. Now, armed with tools like the RSI, it dares to approach that same territory of forsaken souls, almost as if it enjoys the drama.
If Ethereum can hold the $1.6K mark, Merlijn declares with near-religious certainty, “buyers regain control.” The heavens will open, and the bulls will roar once again. But should it fall below that line, a fate far darker looms. “Deeper liquidity,” Merlijn warns, “becomes the target.” The horrors of the unknown. How thrilling!
Ah, but remember this, dear reader: the last time this zone was defended with such fervor, Ethereum skyrocketed by 4x. A move that would send it soaring well beyond its all-time high. Could history repeat itself? Who are we to say? But the possibility hangs in the air like an alluring scent of something far-off, just out of reach.
Merlijn, ever the devotee of trendlines, doubles down in a subsequent post. Ethereum, he proclaims, is at a “make-or-break level.” For years, it has respected this trendline, as if it were a sacred vow. And now, here it is, approaching $2,000 once again, ready to face its destiny. Will it defend the sacred ground, or will it crumble? Only time will tell.
ETHEREUM IS AT A MAKE-OR-BREAK LEVEL.
For years price has respected this rising trendline.
Each touch led to a major move. $ETH is testing it again near $2K.
Hold it: the bull structure stays intact.
Lose it: the macro trend breaks.
Every previous touch resolved violently…

The Rise of Network Activity
Meanwhile, the network pulses with life. A fellow analyst, the ever-observant CW, notes that Ethereum’s network activity has seen a significant uptick. Transactions, which peaked at a mere 2.5 million at the dawn of the year, plummeted to below 2 million in the blink of an eye. Yet now, much like a weary traveler who has discovered the road once again, Ethereum’s transactions are once more on the rise.
And what does this mean, dear reader? The meaning is clear: people are still using the network. Investors, traders, and users are all flocking to Ethereum’s gates once again, for better or worse. It’s the kind of optimism that fills the air with a sort of absurdity. Could this herald a bullish phase? Of course. The answer is always ‘yes’-at least for those who refuse to see the inevitable doom that could also await.
After a brief decline, $ETH network activity is increasing again.
Daily transactions are already well above last year levels. Despite the price decline, the network is becoming more active.
This indicates a bullish, not a bearish.
