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%.

March didnt 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. Thats no small feat.

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.
