Source: TradingView<\/p>\n<h2>Has the Time Come?<\/h2>\n<p>The chart above paints a picture worth a million dollars. It shows how ETH, which was once among the poorest performers in 2025, turned the tables and skyrocketed from under $2,200 marked on June 23 to an<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereums-price-explodes-to-a-new-all-time-high\/\"> all-time high of $4,900<\/a> two months later, on August 22. From a percentage perspective, this mindblowing rally represents a 130% surge in roughly 60 days.<\/p>\n<p>A lot changed for Ethereum along the way. Investors went wild for its underlying asset, which is evident from the massive inflows in the ETH ETFs as well as the growing number of tokens <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/tom-lees-bitmine-becomes-first-ethereum-treasury-to-accumulate-1000000-eth\/\">purchased<\/a> by many Ethereum treasury companies.<\/p>\n<p>But, still, the essential question for ETH investors has popped up \u2013 has the time come to sell (at least some portions)?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ETH?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#ETH<\/a> is up over 100% after one month<\/p>\n<p>Now is a good time \u2013 Realise BIG profits!<\/p>\n<p>Gave you ETH to buy low, and now sell high<\/p>\n<p>Many will regret in the next weeks.. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/f87L1Ov4bi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/t.co\/f87L1Ov4bi<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QiXSS9dT1c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/QiXSS9dT1c<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Doctor Profit (@DrProfitCrypto) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DrProfitCrypto\/status\/1959209533844189349?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">August 23, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>Doctor Profit seems to think so.
