Ethereum’s recent downturn may be setting the stage for one of the year’s most attractive buying opportunities, according to market analyst Michaël van de Poppe.
After signaling a likely correction last week, van de Poppe pointed to a short-term bearish divergence as the trigger for the latest price pullback.
ETH, currently trading near $3,505, is approaching a crucial support range around $3,300. Van de Poppe believes this level offers a strong chance for a rebound.
However, he cautions that if market weakness accelerates — potentially driven by broader geopolitical tensions — the $3,000-$3,100 range could emerge as the optimal accumulation zone for the second half of 2025.
The analysis reflects a two-tiered strategy: a 70% probability that Ethereum stabilizes at the first support region, and a 30% chance it tests deeper lows. The chart also shows heightened liquidity levels below $3,300, reinforcing the idea that any extended drop could trigger a sharp recovery.
If Ethereum does retest the $3,000 mark, it would represent one of the largest drawdowns since its July highs, offering long-term investors a potential discount before the next rally phase.
