The macro charts are even more painful for the largest altcoin, which barely broke its 2021 all-time high in 2025, but now trades over 60% away from it.<\/p>\n<p>According to a few analysts, though, the landscape around it could change soon due to the rising network activity and previous cycle moves. History has shown that ETH has posted incredible returns after it successfully defended a zone that it\u2019s currently testing.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-eth-rocket-by-4x-next\">Can ETH Rocket by 4x Next?<\/h2>\n<p>Merlijn The Trader <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MerlijnTrader\/status\/2030327622287139247\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> in a Saturday post on X that \u201cEthereum is entering the zone that decided the last cycle.\u201d Four years ago, it bottomed after sweeping the liquidity inside the $1.2K-$1.6K range. Technical tools like the RSI show that it\u2019s approaching an oversold territory again, and Merlijn predicted that if it holds the $1.6K level, \u201cbuyers regain control.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, if it falls below the lower boundary of that range, \u201cdeeper liquidity becomes the target.\u201d The last time this zone was tested and defended successfully, the analyst said ETH skyrocketed by 4x. A similar surge now would take it well beyond its all-time high of nearly $5,000.<\/p>\n<p>In a subsequent post, Merlijn doubled down that ETH is at a \u201cmake-or-break level,\u201d as the price has respected this rising trendline for years. It has neared the $2,000 level, and the next major move could be determined whether it will defend it or not.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">ETHEREUM IS AT A MAKE-OR-BREAK LEVEL.<\/p>\n<p>For years price has respected this rising trendline.<\/p>\n<p>Each touch led to a major move.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ETH&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">$ETH<\/a> is testing it again near $2K.<\/p>\n<p>Hold it: the bull structure stays intact.<br \/>Lose it: the macro trend breaks.<\/p>\n<p>Every previous touch resolved violently.\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eRauroDcrX\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/eRauroDcrX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Merlijn The Trader (@MerlijnTrader) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MerlijnTrader\/status\/2030342716798779644?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">March 7, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"rising-network-activity\">Rising Network Activity<\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, fellow analyst CW noted that there\u2019s a notable uptick in the network activity on Ethereum.
