Ethereum could rise when market turns away, similar to pre-rally pattern

Social media sentiment around Ethereum is weakening, but that could signal a medium- to long-term upswing, an analysis said. Santiment analyst Brian Quinlivan said pessimism has reached levels historically linked to strong momentum and compared the setup to patterns seen before major rallies. The report cited Ethereum's 2025 drop to $1,472 and later recovery to $4,878. Prediction markets showed traders assigning various odds to 2026 price targets, while broader crypto sentiment remains in fear territory.
