Ethereum ETH/USD is down 15% over the past 30 days, but on-chain data and technical analysis suggests its period of underperformance may soon be over.

On-chain data provider Cryptoquant on Monday suggested that Ethereum's market shakeout will lead to a bullish rebound.

Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) price rose sharply on Monday after a period of relative underperformance. The world’s second-largest cryptocurrency now trades at $1,237, up 1.26% over the past 24 hours and up nearly 3% over the past seven days. However, ETH is still down about 15% over the past 30 days.

On-chain data provider Cryptoquant suggested on Monday that Ethereum’s period of market shakeout will lead to a bullish rebound. New data from the futures market shows that significant liquidations of long positions, those betting on a price rise, during bull markets often a precede price rallies. This occurs as the futures market stabilizes and spot buying pressure begins to dominate.

The recent downturn triggered a wave of long liquidations, reaching levels not seen since November 2022. With the futures market potentially reset, there’s room for renewed interest. If demand picks up, Ethereum could be on the verge of an impulsive bullish surge, the data provider implied.

Here's what traders are saying about Ethereum price action:

Crypto trader DonAlt recently shared his thoughts on the ETH chart, which he said is looking interesting for the first time in a while. However, another trader sees points of contention that could keep traders interested in other assets over ETH.

Ethereum Faces Competition From Bitcoin, Layer-Ones and Meme Coins: The recent announcement of a Bitcoin strategic reserve by former President Donald Trump has drawn significant institutional attention away from Ethereum.

One trader noted that smart money is now reevaluating alternative blockchains based on key metrics like Miner Extractable Value (MEV) and decentralized exchange (DEX) volume. Retail investors, meanwhile, are increasingly focused on hunting for the next big meme coin, often ignoring Ethereum in favor of smaller, high-risk plays that promise quick returns.
