The world\u2019s second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap has displayed controversial price moves on micro- and macro-timeframes, as even when it managed to set a new ATH last year, it was barely above the previous one. However, the subsequent crash has driven it south hard, and its market share against BTC has dwindled.<\/p>\n
Daan Crypto Trades published an X post today, trying to determine whether it\u2019s finally time to accumulate ETH after the asset\u2019s collapse from last week that pushed it to a 14-month low of $1,500.<\/p>\n
Current data shows that ETH is \u201con track for its 2nd-worst first half of the year since 2022.\u201d At the time, it dropped by 10.75% in Q1 and a whopping 67% in Q2. So far, it has dumped by 29% in Q1 and 21% in Q2, with a couple of weeks left until the latter ends.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s even worse compared to the 2021\/2022 performance is that Ethereum is on its way to close three consecutive quarters in the red, and all of the losses are by double digits since Q4 2025 ended with a 28% decline.<\/p>\n
Daan noted that it has been \u201cextremely bad 9 months\u201d for the altcoin after it topped following Bitmine\u2019s accumulation<\/a> craze began. Recall that the Tom Lee-chaired company has accumulated billions worth of ETH, but it\u2019s also billions in the red<\/a> on its position given the asset\u2019s price correction.<\/p>\n The analyst remains optimistic about Ethereum\u2019s role in tokenization, DeFi, \u201cand all,\u201d and added that the current levels are \u201cfinally attractive again for longer-term accumulation (years).\u201d<\/p>\n Nevertheless, he warned<\/a> that bear markets can go for longer than most people anticipate, and it \u201cnever hurts to have some dry powder on the side for unforeseen circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/a>Ethereum Quarterly Returns.

Citing data from Glassnode, he said that almost 500,000 ETH, valued at around $800 million at current prices, have been taken out of trading platforms in just a week.<\/p>\n The analyst noted that this could align with the aforementioned strategy for being an \u201cearly sign of accumulation.\u201d<\/p>\n Nearly 500,000 Ethereum $ETH<\/a>, worth roughly $800 million, have been withdrawn from trading platforms over the past week.<\/p>\n This could be an early sign of accumulation. https:\/\/t.co\/LNkygeYlUV<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/afPADae2pP<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ali Charts (@alicharts) June 13, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n In another post, though, Martinez warned<\/a> that ETH\u2019s actual price bottom could be more than 50% away from the current levels at around $700.<\/p>\n The post Time to Buy Ethereum as ETH Heads for Another Double-Digit Quarterly Loss?<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The world\u2019s second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap has displayed controversial price moves on micro- and macro-timeframes, as even when it managed to set a new ATH last year, it was barely above the previous one.
