#ETHMarketWatch | The 4-Year Ethereum Shakeout
1. Major Drawdown:
ETH fell from ~$4,100 to ~$1,380 — a 67% decline. That $1,380 level? It’s nearly where ETH was 7 years ago.

2. Sideways Frustration:
For 4 years, ETH has mostly traded between $1,300 and $4,000.
This wide but frustrating range has worn out many retail investors, forcing “weak hands” to exit while the patient accumulate.

3. A Transfer of Power?
Such a prolonged shakeout may have quietly shifted ETH from impatient holders to stronger hands — possibly institutions or Wall Street entities.
If true, ETH’s future rally could be sharp — and many may panic, not because of losses, but for missing out.

Conclusion:
Ethereum has been through a multi-year cleansing. The groundwork may already be laid for a future bull run — just when most have stopped paying attention.
