Michaël van de Poppe, founder of MN Trading Capital, commented on Thursday that Ether’s recent dip was “a little deeper than expected,” but still presents an excellent opportunity for accumulation. His remarks come as ETH continues to show resilience despite broader market uncertainty.
Traders Eye $5,000 Target by Year-End
Ether has fallen 13.61% over the past week, dropping to as low as $3,099 on Tuesday before recovering to around $3,337 at the time of publication, data from CoinMarketCap shows. While the decline rattled some investors, others see it as a setup for a significant rebound.
Pseudonymous trader Ash Crypto described Ether’s current chart pattern as a “massive bear trap,” expressing optimism that the token could reach $5,000 before the end of 2025. Historical trends also offer some perspective: November has traditionally been Bitcoin’s strongest month since 2013, though Ether’s average return during the same period stands at a modest 5.76%, according to CoinGlass.
Just last month, on October 7, ETH was trading close to $4,740, highlighting the token’s ability to rally quickly in favorable market conditions. Another trader, known as Gordon, suggested that investors might soon witness “one of the greatest reversals we have ever seen on ETH.”
Market watchers also point to a potential “supply crunch” as a factor that could drive prices higher. With fewer coins available on exchanges, the balance between supply and demand may soon tip in favor of buyers.
Growing Optimism Among Traders
Despite recent volatility, sentiment surrounding Ether appears to be turning increasingly positive. On Thursday, ETH saw a modest price uptick toward $3,500, sparking renewed optimism across social media platforms. Market intelligence firm Santiment noted that this movement triggered a surge in bullish commentary, suggesting traders are regaining confidence in the asset’s trajectory.
However, the broader crypto market remains cautious. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index—a popular sentiment gauge—recorded an “Extreme Fear” reading of 24 out of 100 on Friday, indicating that overall investor confidence is still subdued. Even so, Ether’s latest rebound has given traders a reason to stay hopeful that a major turnaround could be on the horizon.
