Ethereum’s 4-Week Trend Reveals the Ultimate Sell Signal—Here’s When to Cash Out

Ethereum's price action just flashed a warning sign—one that historically screams 'sell everything.'

Here's what the charts say.

The Tipping Point

Four straight weeks of bearish momentum have pushed ETH to a critical juncture. Past this threshold? Pain.

Why This Time Is Different

Market cycles don’t repeat, but they rhyme—and right now, Ethereum’s singing a familiar tune. The last time these signals aligned, holders got wrecked.

The Exit Strategy

Timing is everything. Wait too long, and you’ll join the bagholders club—where hopium replaces profits.

So, when’s the drop-dead deadline to bail? Watch the trendline. Break it, and even the diamond hands start sweating.

The Bottom Line

Ethereum’s not dead, but your portfolio might be if you ignore this. Because in crypto, greed pays—until it doesn’t. (And Wall Street’s still trying to short it with paper contracts.)

Ethereum’s Cycle Top Signals When To Exit

Crypto analyst Jackis has shared insights into Ethereum’s recent price movements, indicating when investors should exit the market entirely. In a recent X social media post, the analyst noted that the ETH price action is closely mirroring its behavior from previous market cycles. 

Looking at the chart, ethereum had hit one of its major cycle tops in January 2018, followed by another peak in November 2021. Moreover, both instances were preceded by a sharp upward trajectory that culminated in heavy corrections. Jackis also points out that in those earlier cycles, ETH was trading significantly above prior highs before topping out. This time, however, the altcoin has not even broken into a new all-time high yet, although it is currently approaching that critical resistance. 

Notably, the timing of ETH’s current setup is significant, as the four-year cycle theory suggests that the cryptocurrency could be just four weeks away from a major top. Jackis noted that this window aligns with September, which could serve as a critical moment for investors to reassess risks and consider whether “selling everything” is warranted. 

The analyst further highlighted that while Ethereum’s structure shows strength, most altcoins are lagging far behind. Cryptocurrencies such as Binance Coin (BNB), XRP, and Dogecoin (DOGE) have already established their tops in 2021 and remain far below those levels. 

Jackie stated that their price action suggests a market environment more consistent with ETH trading around $2,200, rather than its current level below $4,500. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has continued to march higher since its November 2022 lows, forming higher lows and higher highs in a textbook bull market structure.

ETH Panic Selling Or Pre-Breakout Opportunity?

In other news, crypto market expert Ether Wizz argues that the current panic selling of Ethereum mirrors the same mistake traders made with Bitcoin in past cycles. At the time, early sellers underestimated the strength of institutional demand and long-term buyers, only to watch BTC surge far beyond expectations.

The analyst highlighted a recent rebound in the ethereum price above the 50-week Simple Moving Average (SMA), which historically has signaled the beginning of explosive rallies. The comparison between Ethereum’s 2025 chart and its 2017 breakout also highlights a similarity. In both cases, the cryptocurrency consolidated, reclaimed its moving average, and then accelerated higher.  

Notably, Ether Wizz points out that Ethereum could still experience a short-term correction of 5% to 10%. However, he argues it is misguided to assume ETH has already peaked, maintaining instead that the cryptocurrency is in the early stages of a move that could eventually drive its price toward a new all-time high of $10,000.
