It’s been an interesting past 24 hours for the cryptocurrency industry and market, with the United States president-elect Donald Trump launching his own meme coin “Official Trump” (TRUMP). The Solana-based meme coin’s value has skyrocketed by more than 500% in the past 24 hours, with a market cap of over $5 billion.

Ethereum (ETH) price, on the other hand, has struggled to keep up pace with the market, failing to capitalize on its newly found bullish momentum. What can investors expect from the “king of altcoins” in the first few months of 2025?

Overview Of ETH’s Historical Q1 Performance 

In a recent post on the social media platform X, prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez shared an insight into how the price of Ethereum could perform in the first quarter of 2025. Based on historical price data, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap could witness a resurgence before the end of March 2025.

Historically, the Ethereum price has almost always put up its strongest performance in the first three months of the year. Since 2017, the average return of the altcoin in the first quarter stands at around 82.69%; this is followed by the second quarter’s average return of nearly 67%.

According to price action data, the only two times Ethereum failed to register a positive performance were at the beginning of the 2018 and 2022 bear seasons. The price of ETH was down by almost 50% and 11% by the end of March in 2018 and 2022, respectively.

Meanwhile, the altcoin recorded its best Q1 performance in 2017, skyrocketing by more than 500% in the first three months. This is followed by the 160% surge experienced at the beginning of 2021 — the final year in the four-year crypto cycle.

If history is anything to go by, the Ethereum price might be gearing up for an upswing before the end of March 2025. Besides its history of Q1 rallies, ETH might be in the final year of its cycle, which has often coincided with the strongest performances for altcoin.

Ethereum Price Overview

As of this writing, the price of Ethereum sits just beneath $3,300, reflecting an almost 6% decline in the past 24 hours. This single-day action has pushed the altcoin into a loss on the daily timeframe, with the ETH price down by more than 1%.

If the ETH price is going to continue its pattern of robust Q1 performances, a sustained close above the psychological $3,500 level might be the first step. Since mid-December, the cryptocurrency has mostly been consolidating beneath the $3,500 region.

Opeyemi savors his attraction to the crypto market, which explains why he spends the better parts of his day looking through different price charts. “Looking” is a rather simple way to describe analyzing and interpreting various price patterns and chart formations. However, it appears that is not Opeyemi’s favorite part – in fact, far from it.

Being able to connect what happens on a price chart to on-chain movements and blockchain activities is what keeps Opeyemi ticking. “This emphasizes the intricacies of blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency market,” he would say. Most importantly, Opeyemi thinks of any market insights as the gospel, while recognizing that he is only a messenger.

When he is not clicking away at his keyboard, Opeyemi is most definitely listening to music, playing games, reading a book, or scrolling through X. He likes to think he is not loyal to a particular genre of music, which can be true on many days. However, the fast-rising Afrobeats genre is a staple in Opeyemi’s Spotify Daily Mix.

Meanwhile, Opeyemi is a voracious reader who enjoys a wide category of books – ranging from science fiction, fantasy, and historical, to even romance. He believes that authors like George R. R. Martin and J. K.
Rowling are the greatest of all time when it comes to putting pen to paper. Opeyemi believes his reading of the Harry Potter series twice is proof of that.

Indeed, Opeyemi enjoys spending most of his time within the four walls of his home. However, he also sometimes finds solace in the company of his friends at a bar, a restaurant, or even on a stroll. In essence, Opeyemi’s ambivert (haha! been searching for an opportunity to use the word to describe myself) nature makes him a social chameleon who is able to quickly adapt to different settings.

Opeyemi recognizes the need to constantly develop oneself in order to stay afloat in a competitive and ever-evolving market like crypto. For this reason, he is always in learning mode, ready to pick up the slightest lesson from every situation. Opeyemi is efficient and likes to deliver all that is required of him in time – he believes that “whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.” Hence, you will always find him striving to be better.

Ultimately, Opeyemi is a good writer and an even better person who is trying to shed light on an exciting world phenomenon – cryptocurrency. He goes to bed every day with a smile of satisfaction on his face, knowing that he has done his bit of the holy assignment – spreading the crypto gospel to the rest of the world.

• Dogecoin has posted some gains in recent days, measuring 7% since 31 December.
• This does not hide the fact that the higher timeframe charts showed a bearish bias for DOGE.

Bitcoin has been stationary on the price charts in recent weeks. 4 January saw some bullish impetus across the altcoin market. Many assets in the crypto sphere have posted gains in recent days after trending downward in December.

Dogecoin was one of these coins. However, the meme coin retained its higher timeframe bearish bias. Trading volume has also been in steady decline since mid-December. Unless DOGE can reclaim $0.078 as support, it remained likely that it would see another move southward in the next week or two.

The bullish order block has been breached, here is what can follow

The lower red box on the price chart highlighted a bullish order block which was tested in mid-December. The $0.078 level was flipped to resistance, and DOGE bulls have been weak in the past three weeks.

The session close beneath $0.071 meant that this bullish order block had been flipped to a bearish breaker. The market structure was also bearishly biased and would only be flipped on a move back above $0.0789.

Another interesting factor to consider was that there was a significantly lower timeframe consolidation right beneath the aforementioned resistance level at $0.0789. Therefore it was likely that a move to the $0.077-$0.079 area would offer a low-risk, high-reward shorting opportunity.

The A/D indicator has made higher lows since 19 December, which showed some buying pressure in the market. Yet, no new highs were formed, and buyers were weak. The RSI was below neutral 50 to show that momentum was persistently bearish since the first week of December.

Spot CVD on the rise alongside Open Interest- does this mean bulls have a chance of a breakout?

Coinalyze data showed that Cumulative Volume Delta has been on the rise since 1 January. While it is only a few days, it was something for optimistic bulls to cling on to. The slowly rising prices also ushered in an increase in Open Interest and showed capital entering the market.

The funding rate was also positive in recent days to highlight some bullish sentiment on the lower timeframes. Yet, the bulls have not initiated a rally on the higher timeframes yet.

Short sellers could reap profits if Dogecoin continued on its bearish trajectory. The price action and technical indicators signaled more losses could occur, and bulls can wait to see a move past $0.08 before they look to bid.

Bitcoin saw a huge bounce in recent hours. It dropped to $18.8k a few hours prior to the time of writing. Within the space of four hours of this dip, it bounced upward by nearly 10% to trade at $20.8k for a brief moment. This bounce was exhausted and sellers were quick to capitalize. Cardano also saw a bounce from the six-week range lows at $0.44. However, at press time, it looked to be headed lower once more.

ADA- 1 Hour Chart

The range in question had its low at $0.44 and high at $0.64, and the mid-range value at $0.54. It was plotted in yellow, and the $0.42-$0.44 region has acted as a strong demand zone in the past month and a half.

It can be expected that it will continue to act as a support zone. There was support for ADA all the way down to $0.4. Hence, until ADA dropped below this level, traders should be wary of a reversal upward.

At the same time, the weakness of ADA on the charts was quite apparent. The $0.47-$0.475 region was ceded to the bears after holding out for a few days this week. The rally from a few hours ago retested this area as resistance, and a move lower appeared likely.

Rationale

On the price chart, the 21-period moving average (orange) had crossed over below the 55-period moving average (green) to signal bearish momentum. The RSI was also below the neutral 50 line. Its attempt to push higher was firmly rejected. Therefore, the short-term trend was shown to be bearish by both the price action and the indicators.

The OBV had two levels of support to the south. Until these levels are breached, it would remain likely that ADA can see a bounce back toward the $0.47-$0.5 area.

Conclusion

While the momentum was bearish for Cardano, there was a resilient zone of demand for ADA, up to the $0.4 area. Until the price dropped beneath this level, and the OBV also dropped below the two supports highlighted, it could be risky to enter short positions on ADA.

• Cardano price has breached through the 8- and 21-day moving averages.
• ADA price falls in free-fall fashion printing consecutive bearish candlesticks on the four-hour chart.
• Invalidation of the bearish downtrend is a breach above the 21-day moving average currently positioned at $0.50.

Cardano price shows no evidence to believe in a trend reversal. Expect calamity.

Cardano price to sweep the lows

Cardano’s ADA price shows the continuation of the bearish trend is likely underway. Since June 25, what first appeared to be a simple consolidation within two coiling simple moving averages, quickly turned into a bearish blitzkrieg as traders came out to suppress the Cardano price. The ongoing downtrend could become increasingly powerful as the bears aim to besiege the liquidity levels under the June 18 swing low at $0.42. A breach of this low could be devastating for bulls in the market as the Cardano price could plummet an additional 50% into the $0.20 price level.

Cardano price currently trades at $0.44. The self-proclaimed Ethereum killer does not show a bullish reversal signal as of yet. The consecutive free-fall candlesticks on the four-hour chart indicate the bear’s strength and confidence in the market. Their satisfaction will only be met by large liquidations, presumably under critical swing lows at $0.42 and the May 12 swing low at $0.39.

ADA/USDT 4-Hour Chart

An early Invalidation signal of the bearish downtrend could occur if the bulls can reconquer the 21-day simple moving average currently positioned at $0.50. If the bulls can re-hurdle this level, they may be able to rally as high as $1.20, resulting in a 170% increase from the current Cardano price.
