Ethereum Eyes a Comeback After Brutal Q1 Slide

Ethereum had a rough start to 2025. All three months in Q1 closed in the red — a first. February was especially painful, with the token crashing nearly 32%.

Ethereum (ETH) suffered a brutal start to 2025, with all three months in Q1 closing in the red. February was especially painful, seeing the token decrease nearly 32%.

March didn’t help, dragging Ethereum down another 18%. Traders watched in disbelief as ETH posted its worst Q1 performance ever.

But April kicked off with a spark.

ETH jumped 3% on the first day of the month, and bulls are already buzzing.

Historically, April and May have been kind to Ethereum. Average returns during these months? Around 20% in April and 30% in May.

Many traders see this as a golden setup. Buy low after a punishing quarter. Ride the seasonal wave. Profit.

Crypto analyst Ash Crypto believes a breakout is near. If momentum builds, ETH could smash past $3,000 before May ends. That would mark a strong reversal — and possibly ignite a broader rally.

APRIL AND MAY HAVE BEEN 2 OF THE BEST PERFORMING MONTHS FOR $ETH.

SINCE INCEPTION, ETHEREUM HAS AVERAGE 20% AND 30% RETURNS IN APRIL AND MAY.

The next few weeks are critical. If the historical pattern holds, Ethereum might just flip the script and lead the altcoin charge.
