Аналитики предупреждают о потенциальной медвежьей ловушке в Ethereum на фоне растущего FOMO Analysts Warn of Potential Bear Trap in Ethereum Amid Rising FOMO

Analysts from Santiment have issued a warning regarding a surge in FOMO.

The movement of the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is being described as a «massive bearish trap,» according to trader Ash Crypto.

He noted that despite the significant correction, the asset’s price could still reach $5000 by the end of 2025.

In the past week, Ethereum’s value has dropped by 12.6%, hitting a low of approximately $3100.

As of the time of writing, the coin is trading at $3352, which is down 32% from its all-time high of $4946 reached in August.

Analyst Michaël van de Poppe referred to the current price range as «optimal for accumulation.»

November is traditionally regarded as the best month for Bitcoin, with an average increase of 47% during this period. In contrast, Ethereum’s performance is notably more modest, with an approximate rise of 5.7%.

Some market participants are anticipating a sharp price reversal «in the near future.»

Users are showing increasing optimism about Ethereum. A spike in bullish sentiment on social media followed the asset’s price increase to $3500. Traders interpreted this as a positive signal, as noted by Santiment analysts.

Currently, there are about 2.7 bullish comments for every bearish one, marking the highest level of optimism since July.

«Ethereum traders have rapidly shifted from extremely bearish to distinctly bullish sentiments,» the experts commented.

However, they cautioned that this could ultimately be a negative factor, stating, «prices historically tend to move in the opposite direction of the crowd’s expectations.»

On November 4, when the asset was trading at $3700, Santiment recorded an average of only 0.86 bullish comments for each bearish one — the worst ratio since April.

«Historically, for further growth, it is advisable to maintain the level of FUD that was observed on Tuesday. The sell-offs have fueled subsequent rallies, but now the rising FOMO may act as a brake on this movement,» the analysts emphasized.

They believe that the true buy signal will occur when traders «lower their expectations for a rapid return» to $4000 and «bullish sentiment subsides again.»

As a reminder, experts from Wintermute have identified the causes of the stagnation in the crypto market, citing liquidity redistribution as a key factor.
