Ethereum’s social media sentiment has been declining, mirroring levels similar to those seen before its 2025 price rally, which eventually pushed the asset back to its 2021 all-time highs, according to a crypto sentiment analyst. This trend is noteworthy, as it suggests that the current market sentiment may be overly pessimistic, potentially setting the stage for a future price increase.<\/p>\n
\u201cEthereum is actually way down, this would argue against us falling too much further,\u201d Santiment analyst Brian Quinlivan said in a video published to YouTube on Saturday. Quinlivan’s statement highlights the potential for a rebound in Ethereum’s price, given the current low sentiment levels. This is kind of reminiscent of what we saw before Ethereum went on its major run last year, Quinlivan added.<\/p>\n
On August 23, Ether (ETH) surged back to its 2021 all-time high of $4,878, marking a gain of almost 70% over four months after falling to a yearly low of $1,472 on April 9, according to CoinMarketCap. Quinlivan said that Ether\u2019s price \u201ctook off just as people were really starting to write-off Ethereum.\u201d This historical context is crucial in understanding the potential for future price movements.<\/p>\n
Ether has since dropped 36% from its all-time high, trading at $3,089 at the time of publication, following a $19 billion crypto market liquidation event on Oct. 10, which led to a broader market downtrend. Ether\u2019s price is down 4.64% over the past 30 days. Source: CoinMarketCap<\/p>\n
However, Quinlivan doesn\u2019t see the market as doubtful about Ethereum\u2019s upside the way it was in early 2025. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t say that is happening now. Ethereum is kind of back to being an expected number two market cap for a lot of people,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s appropriately ranked once again,\u201d he added. Coinbase Asset Management president Anthony Bassili expressed a similar view to Cointelegraph in November 2025. \u201cThere\u2019s a very, very clear view in the investor community in terms of the right first portfolio is Bitcoin. The next is Bitcoin, Ethereum,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Quinlivan said he is bullish on Ethereum\u2019s network growth, describing it as \u201cabsolutely going bonkers.\u201d He said it\u2019s likely due to growing interest in staking, which has been a hot topic on social media in recent times. It comes as sentiment in the broader crypto market continues to hover at low levels, moving between \u201cFear\u201d and \u201cExtreme Fear\u201d since early November. On Sunday, the Index posted a \u201cFear\u201d score of 29.<\/p>\n
Market participants are still in risk-off mode away from assets outside Bitcoin (BTC), according to the Altcoin Season Index, which currently shows a \u201cBitcoin Season\u201d score of 34 out of 100. The index flicks between \u201cBitcoin Season\u201d and \u201cAltcoin Season\u201d scores based on the performance of the top 100 altcoins relative to Bitcoin over the past 90 days.<\/p>\n
