TL;DR<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ethereum holds $4,100 support while falling wedge and Wyckoff setup hint at strong upside potential.
\nPrice compression near 20-week MA builds, with eyes on $3,550\u2013$3,750 as key dip zone.
\nETH Q4 rallies in 2017 and 2020 suggest seasonal strength may repeat in late 2025.<\/p>\n

Pullback Tests Support as Compression Builds<\/h2>\n

Ethereum (ETH) is trading near $4,200 after a sharp decline from recent highs close to $4,950. The correction puts the asset down nearly 20% from its peak. Despite the drop, some market participants are watching key price levels as potential areas of interest.<\/p>\n

Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe, a market analyst, notes<\/a> that Ethereum may enter a sideways period. He points out that the 20-week moving average is now approaching the price, and compression is forming.<\/p>\n

He stated, \u201cI don\u2019t know whether we\u2019ll dip as deep as $3,550\u2013$3,750,\u201d<\/em> leaving open the possibility for a move into that range but not confirming it. The zone between $3,550 and $3,750 is marked as potential support, close to the rising 20-week MA.<\/p>\n

On the weekly timeframe chart, ETH\u2019s price keeps holding above $4,100 as a critical zone. Just below lies a wider support area that rests between $3,550 and $3,750, aligning with a former breakout area and the 20-week moving average. A green support box also appears lower on the chart as a historical consolidation area around $2,800.<\/p>\n

Past moves show that ETH has responded to these levels. Labels such as \u201cliquidity taken\u201d<\/em> at $3,900 and \u201ctake liquidity in this area\u201d<\/em> near $2,800 suggest that if the price revisits those levels, reactions could follow. Lower volume in recent weeks supports the idea that price may be preparing for a more directional move.<\/p>\n

Chart Structures Point to a Setup<\/h2>\n

Another pattern on the chart comes from Trader Tardigrade, who points<\/a> to a falling wedge. The setup is clear, with the asset trending within two downward lines. The falling wedge is near its apex, and the price is testing previous breakout levels. The chart includes a possible move toward $6,800 if it breaks above the wedge.<\/p>\n

Separately, Merlijn The Trader uses the Wyckoff model to describe<\/a> ETH\u2019s movement. The model shows that Ether may have completed its Spring, Test, and Sign of Strength phases. It is now in what\u2019s labeled as the Last Point of Support, a position in the structure where stronger upward movement often begins. \u201cThis is where Ethereum accelerates into five digits,\u201d<\/em> he wrote, pointing to the next phase of the cycle.<\/p>\n

Q4 Setup Resembles Previous Cycles<\/h2>\n

Ethereum has had a strong fourth-quarter performance during past bull runs. In 2017, it gained over 140% in Q4. In 2020, these returns were above 100%. This year, ETH saw a drop of -45.41% in Q1 but recovered in Q2 (+36.48%) and Q3 (+79.55%).<\/p>\n

Crypto Rand referred to these figures and asked,<\/p>\n

GM guys! Is $ETH<\/a> getting ready to perform like in 2017 and 2020? pic.twitter.com\/JaIv9ogrEZ<\/a><\/p>\n

The recent rebound and historical Q4 strength have led to comparisons with those cycles. While no outcome is guaranteed, traders are watching to see if a similar trend develops.<\/p>\n
