The broader cryptocurrency market has been navigating a period of choppy and uncertain price action over the past several weeks, a phase that began after the sharp market-wide sell-off on October 10. During that correction, Ethereum (ETH) dropped nearly 28% over the last 60 days, applying sustained pressure across the altcoin sector — including ether.fi (ETHFI).

ETHFI has mirrored this weakness, sliding more than 31% over the same period. However, despite the sharp downtrend, recent price behavior suggests selling pressure may be easing. The token is now trading near a historically significant demand zone, where buyers have repeatedly stepped in before — raising the possibility that ETHFI could be approaching an inflection point.

Double Bottom Pattern in Focus

On the daily timeframe, ETHFI appears to be forming a potential double-bottom structure — a classic reversal pattern that often signals exhaustion among sellers. The setup began after ETHFI was rejected from the $0.9233 resistance area, a move that triggered a sharp decline of nearly 28% and pushed price back toward the lower end of its range.

That sell-off dragged ETHFI into the $0.65 support zone, a level that has consistently acted as a strong demand area in the past. The chart now shows price revisiting this same region and stabilizing once again, suggesting buyers are actively defending it. The similarity between the first and second lows strengthens the case that a double-bottom base may be forming.

If this support continues to hold, the ongoing consolidation could mark the completion of the second bottom — a critical step in shifting momentum away from sellers and toward a potential trend reversal.

What’s Next for ETHFI?

The $0.65 support zone remains the most important level to monitor in the near term. As long as ETHFI holds above this area, the developing bullish structure remains valid and provides room for momentum to gradually rebuild.

On the upside, the first major challenge sits at the 50-day moving average near $0.8153. This level has repeatedly capped recovery attempts throughout the recent downtrend and now represents the initial test for buyers. A sustained move above this moving average would signal improving market structure and growing bullish confidence.

Beyond that, the $0.9233 neckline stands as the key confirmation level. A decisive breakout above this resistance would complete the double-bottom pattern and significantly strengthen the bullish outlook, potentially opening the door for a broader recovery move in the weeks ahead.

For now, ETHFI finds itself at a technically pivotal zone — one that could either reinforce the existing downtrend or mark the beginning of a meaningful rebound if buyers continue to defend support.

Why Does Ethereum Price "Rise with Bitcoin but Ignore Fundamentals"? Bitwise Reveals: 65% of Price Movement Determined by Bitcoin

Bitwise's research indicates that Ethereum's price movements are primarily driven by Bitcoin and macroeconomic liquidity, with relatively weak influence from on-chain fundamentals. The model shows that Bitcoin volatility can explain 65% of Ethereum's volatility, while accommodative monetary conditions and ETF fund flows also contribute to Ethereum's price. The current market views Ethereum as a "network commodity," and its price movements in the short term may still be dominated by Bitcoin and the liquidity environment.
