Ethereum’s 3-Step Rally Pattern Signals a Countdown
Ethereum repeats its 3-step pattern, hinting at a major rally ahead. Is another moonshot coming in 2025?

- Ethereum shows familiar 3-step rally setup.
- Past move took ETH from $100 to $4,600.
- 2025 could see another massive breakout.
Ethereum’s price history suggests it often follows a 3-step pattern before major rallies: Base → Shakeout → Moonshot. This sequence played out clearly in 2020 when ETH surged from around $100 to nearly $4,600 in less than two years.
Now in 2025, Ethereum seems to be showing the same formation again. After forming a base near $1,500, the market has seen price dips shaking out weak hands. This “shakeout” phase often traps sellers before the real upward move begins.
The question is whether the final “moonshot” stage is next.
Comparing 2020 and 2025 Setups
In 2020, the base phase lasted several months before Ethereum climbed steadily, eventually accelerating into a parabolic rally. The shakeout period was marked by sharp pullbacks that convinced many investors the rally was over — only for ETH to shoot far higher.
Today, market sentiment feels eerily similar. Trading volume, on-chain activity, and long-term holder accumulation suggest quiet preparation for a bigger move. The base at $1,500 could prove to be a launchpad just as $100 was in 2020.
Why This Isn’t Just Consolidation
Consolidation implies sideways price action without clear momentum. The 3-step pattern, however, is more strategic. It starts with price stabilization, flushes out short-term traders, and ends with explosive upside. Ethereum’s current market structure matches this setup closely.
If the pattern repeats, the “countdown” may already be in progress — and the moonshot could arrive faster than many expect. While no outcome is guaranteed, the historical symmetry has traders watching closely.
