【ETH after the deep freeze of 2018: The more fearful the market, the more likely it is to move sideways first】
In 2018, ETH plunged from its highs. The hardest part wasn’t any single day’s crash—it was that after falling for so long, nobody dared to buy. In phases like that, prices often move sideways first, then choose a direction. The current situation feels similar: the Fear and Greed Index is at 25, with a weekly average of 33, yet ETH is flat over 7 days and up 0.8% over 24 hours. The market is gripped by extreme fear, but prices haven’t continued to break down. That’s a divergence.
But don’t rush to call a reversal. BTC dominance is 59.3%, and capital is still leaning defensive. ETH is at $2,244, caught between support at $2,167.6 and resistance at $2,292.64. On the ground, Russia has allowed retail investors to trade BTC, ETH, and USDT through compliant intermediaries, and the Moscow Exchange plans to launch in December. The beneficiaries are Russian retail investors and compliant channels; this doesn’t mean buying pressure will pour in next week. Meanwhile, the $3.1 billion in stolen coins has yet to be laundered, and the Glamsterdam fork on Hoodi has been postponed. Security and engineering risks are still weighing on market sentiment.
What would make me admit I’m wrong? Only two things: a high-volume break below $2,167.6, or a high-volume break above $2,292.64 followed by a sustained hold. Otherwise, a narrow range over the next 7 days is more likely. Are you leaning toward sideways movement or a breakdown? Let’s come back next week and see.
⬆️ Bullish / ⬇️ Bearish / ➡️ Sideways
