- Social media sentiment for **Ethereum** has fallen to levels similar to those before its 2025 price rally.
- **Santiment** analyst **Brian Quinlivan** said this drop could argue against much further downside and echoed pre-rally conditions, as shown in a video.
- Ether rose to an all-time high of $4,878 on Aug. 23, 2025 after a yearly low of $1,472 on April 9, data shows.
- Ether later fell 36% to $3,089 following a $19 billion market liquidation on Oct. 10, and broader sentiment sits in “Fear” with the Index at 29.
- Network activity and staking interest remain strong, while the Altcoin Season Index indicates a prevailing “Bitcoin Season” environment.
Brian Quinlivan, an analyst at Santiment, said in a video published to YouTube that Ethereum’s social media sentiment has dropped to levels reminiscent of the period before its large 2025 rally. He noted this pattern could suggest limited room for further declines and described the situation as similar to the lead-up to last year’s run.
Historical price data shows Ether climbed to a $4,878 all-time high on Aug. 23, 2025 after hitting a yearly low of $1,472 on April 9, according to CoinMarketCap. At the time of publication Ether traded near $3,089, a 36% decline from that high following a $19 billion market liquidation on Oct. 10.
Quinlivan said the price surge in 2025 happened “just as people were really starting to write-off Ethereum.” He also commented that current market positioning does not reflect the same widespread doubt seen before the previous rally, adding, “I wouldn’t say that is happening now. Ethereum is kind of back to being an expected number two market cap for a lot of people.”
Coinbase Asset Management president Anthony Bassili expressed a similar view, saying “There’s a very, very clear view in the investor community in terms of the right first portfolio is Bitcoin. The next is Bitcoin, Ethereum,” signaling continued institutional acceptance.
Broader market measures show low sentiment. The Fear and Greed Index posted a “Fear” score of 29, and the Altcoin Season Index currently registers a “Bitcoin Season” score of 34 out of 100. Quinlivan also highlighted strong network growth and increased staking interest as positive on-chain signals for Ethereum.
