$ETH doesn’t move the same way it used to.

If you’re waiting for ETH to “feel safe” again, you’re usually late.
That’s how it has worked every cycle.
When RSI resets this deep prices have moved big :
> 2019 : +5600%
> 2021 : +300%
> 2025 : +265%
The pattern isn’t just about percentage gains.
It’s about how long momentum lasts after RSI bottoms.
And that length has been changing.
👉 2019 → 2021: The long build
From the 2019 RSI reset to the 2021 peak, ETH ran roughly +5600%.
That move took time. Years.
Back then, fewer traders were flipping short term. More holders sat through volatility. When RSI bottomed, momentum had space to expand slowly.
The market wasn’t crowded. Selling pressure didn’t show up immediately.
👉 2022 → 2024: The faster cycle
From the 2022 RSI lows to the next major high, ETH did around +300%.
Still strong. But shorter.
By then, everyone understood cycles. Capital moved faster. Leverage was higher. Once momentum kicked in, it accelerated quickly… and topped sooner.
The window shrank.
👉 2024 → 2026: Compressed momentum
From the latest RSI reset to the recent highs, ETH moved about +265%.
Again, solid returns. But the duration tightened even more.
Liquidity rotates quickly now. Traders take profit earlier. Narratives peak faster. The market doesn’t give you multi-year patience like it once did.
Momentum isn’t gone. It’s compressed.
So what does that mean right now?
RSI is back near historical reset zones.
In every prior cycle, these levels marked the beginning of meaningful upside.
The difference is this that the opportunity window keeps getting shorter.
If ETH starts expanding from here, it probably won’t wait around for everyone to feel comfortable.
The mistake isn’t buying when RSI is low.
The mistake is waiting for confirmation after the first 80–100% move.
If history is any guide, these are the levels where positioning matters.
Not when the chart looks obvious.
