Updated: Jan 11 2026- Sentiment Returns to Lows: According to Santiment analyst Brian Quinlivan, Ethereum's current social media sentiment mirrors the lows seen before the 2025 price surge, suggesting a potential rebound, especially after a 36% price drop.
- Historical Comparison: Ethereum's price surged from $1,470 in April 2025 to $4,900 after social pessimism peaked, indicating that the current sentiment decline may signal a similar rebound opportunity.
- Network Growth Momentum: Quinlivan noted that Ethereum's network growth is skyrocketing, driven by rising staking interest, which could support future price rebounds, despite the overall crypto market sentiment remaining low.
- Market Sentiment Analysis: Although Ethereum is currently trading at $3,099, down 4.5% over the past 30 days, it has gained 5.5% over the last 14 days, reflecting potential optimism about its future performance, particularly with increased discussions about its competitive position on social media.
