About two months ago, Ethereum experienced a sharp decline: its price hit lows near US $1,410 around April 7, 2025, marking the beginning of a bearish trend that placed it around US $1,500 to US $1,700 in the following weeks.
I saw that drop and decided to hold my position. I believed in the fundamentals: the network remains the leading platform for DeFi, stablecoins, and smart contracts. I knew it was a 'technical correction', not the end of the project.
In recent weeks, that decision has paid off: Ethereum has risen approximately 43% in the last month, and in the last month, it has outperformed Bitcoin: it rose 54% compared to the 10% of BTC.
Key data from my experience:
In April, ETH fell to ~US $1,410.
It first recovered the zone of US $1,700–1,800, then surpassed US $2,000.
By the end of July, it reached highs near US $3,940.
Now, at the beginning of August, it is hovering between US $3,700–3,730, with a strong rebound in recent hours driven by the entry of ETFs and good macroeconomic sentiment.
Interestingly, that scare allowed me to reinforce my conviction: I do not sell in the face of volatility; I sell when the fundamentals change. As an investor, I feel that Ethereum has regained not only price but also institutional credibility, driven by ETFs from BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale, and by the approval of regulation on stablecoins (the GENIUS Act).
--- Anecdote of a timely stranger
I invested when ETH was in free fall. I held my position based on solid fundamentals. Ethereum recovered strongly: over 40% in a month, driven by institutions and favorable regulations. Now the price has returned strongly near US $3,700, and the chart you see at the beginning confirms it: a clear recovery from deep lows.
