Best part of a bear market is predicting what ahead lies for us in the next bull.
Last cycle was so off for ETH, despite all that's been built on Ethereum, all the major institutions (ie Coinbase, BlackRock) relying on the network, all that's thriving in DeFi and stablecoins, and all the new institutional buying pressure with the ETH spot ETFs.
Going back to 2020-2021, fundamentals clearly needed time catch up with price and we over-corrected as we normally do in crypto. Overshoot tops and bottoms.
But now I contend once ETH reaches above $5k, you will see investor sentiment rapidly shift, using BTC's historical price action (see my fractals for BTC in 2017) to predict where ETH might go next.
The fractals of BTC's past will hint at the path of ETH's future price action. We love fractals in crypto.
And while I believe in @fundstrat's calls for $60k ETH will play out eventually, the most important milestone short term is for ETH the asset, to reprice and 10x this cycle to $20k and beyond. Follow in big brother BTC's footsteps, at least in price.
If you want to go deeper on why @Etherealize_io believes we will go to $250k and beyond, below is a recent @Edge_Pod to walk you through it.
Estimating we get the usual 12-month bear started October 6th, 2025, I took another 12 months of fractals from BTC in 2017 just to map out what 12 months of price action might look like for ETH after the market's bottomed. Given past halving cycles, we could also chop around until the 2028 election but I personally think we could see some small deviation leading to the next market top in 2027-2028.
The 5 businesses of crypto.

All banking products and services. You can't own this on the stock market, it's not available.
Crypto is at its Blockbuster vs Netflix moment.
Right now, businesses are going onchain and adopting crypto because they want to. They get it.
Soon, the other businesses will be desperately trying to catch up. They'll go onchain because they need to.
My advice: be early.
