Ethereum ‘Running Out Of Time’? Analyst Says New ATH May Not Come This Cycle :

As Ethereum (ETH) continues to slowly turn crucial resistance levels into support, some analysts consider that the King of altcoins could be running out of time for a new all-time high (ATH) this cycle.

Ethereum Closes April In Red

Over the past week, Ethereum has attempted to reclaim the $1,800 mark, hovering between the $1,770-$1,820 price range. In the past 24 hours, the cryptocurrency has seen a 5.5% jump, breaking above the key resistance and last week’s high of $1,850.

Amid this price action, ETH retested the $1,860-$1,870 range for the first time in one month, and closed April just 1.56% below in opening price. Nonetheless, Ethereum’s negative monthly close marked the fifth consecutive month in the red for the cryptocurrency.

The king of Altcoins has been recording monthly negative returns since December, its worst-performing streak since 2018, and closed the first quarter of 2025 with a 45.4% retracement.

Analyst Carl Runefelt noted this performance, noting that “the good news is that historically, May is the most positive month of the year for ETH.” In general, it has been one of the best-performing months for Ethereum, registering an average 27.31% increase in May.
Additionally, the second quarter has been a positive period for cryptocurrency, closing Q2 in the green seven out of nine times. Despite its negative April close, Ethereum registers a mild 2.15% positive return this quarter so far, which could suggest that the cryptocurrency could continue its current performance if history repeats.

Another market watcher considers that ETH’s price is displaying a similar performance to Bitcoin’s (BTC) 2020 rally. At the time, “Bitcoin consolidated at $8K… Most ignored it. Then it hit $64K.”

According to Merlijn The Trader, “Ethereum is showing the exact same structure. Accumulation. Compression. Explosion loading.” However, this would suggest another pullback could come before a new ATH.
