Аналитики предупреждают об опасностях роста FOMO на рынке Ethereum Translation: Analysts warn of the dangers of FOMO growth in the Ethereum market

Analysts at Santiment have issued a warning regarding the rise of FOMO.

The movement of the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization appears to be a «major bear trap,» according to a trader known as Ash Crypto.

He suggested that despite the deep correction, the asset’s price might still reach $5000 by the end of 2025.

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

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

Analyst Michaël van de Poppe described the current zone as «ideal for accumulation.»

November is traditionally seen as the best month for Bitcoin, with the cryptocurrency averaging a 47% increase during this period. In contrast, Ethereum’s performance is notably more modest, around 5.7%.

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

Users are displaying increasing optimism regarding Ethereum. A surge in bullish sentiments on social media followed the asset’s price rise to $3500, which traders interpreted as a positive signal, according to 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 swiftly shifted from extremely bearish sentiment to distinctly bullish,» the experts commented.

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

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

«Historically, for further growth, it is preferable to maintain the level of FUD seen on Tuesday. Previous sell-offs have fueled subsequent rallies, but now rising FOMO could hinder this movement,» analysts emphasized.

They believe that a true buy signal will occur when traders «lower their expectations for a quick return» to $4000 and «bullish sentiments quiet down once again.»

As a reminder, experts from Wintermute identified the reasons for the stagnation in the cryptocurrency market, with one key factor being the redistribution of liquidity.
