Historical data shows that the Ethereum price could enjoy huge gains in the first quarter of 2025. Based on this data, crypto analyst Kaduna predicted that the second-largest crypto by market cap could usher in the altcoin season at the start of the new year.
Historical Performance Shows What To Expect From Ethereum Price
CryptoRank data shows that the Ethereum price could enjoy positive monthly gains throughout the first quarter of 2025. This is based on historical trends that show that Ethereum enjoyed green monthly closes in Q1 of the 2017 and 2021 bull runs, the following years after the Bitcoin Halving. 2025 is expected to follow 2017 and 2021, as the Halving event occurred this year.

In 2017, the Ethereum price enjoyed gains of 34%, 47%, and 215% in January, February, and March, respectively. Meanwhile, in 2021, Ethereum recorded gains of 78%, 7%, and 35% in the first three months of the year. Therefore, ETH could replicate such massive gains in the first quarter of next year.
Based on this historical trend, crypto analyst Kaduna suggested that this isn’t the time to bearish on the Ethereum price, as he advised market participants not to fumble their ETH bags. The analyst added that ETH will lead the altcoin season, possibly as it replicates the 2017 and 2021 Q1 performances next year.
This historical trend provides a bullish outlook for the Ethereum price, which has underperformed this year compared to other major cryptocurrencies. Ethereum boasts a meager year-to-date (YTD) gain of around 47%. Moreover, the second-largest crypto has struggled to hold above the psychological $4,000 level and has come nowhere close to its current all-time high (ATH) of $4,800.
However, it is worth mentioning that the Ethereum price hit its current ATH in 2021. As such, if ETH replicates its 2021 run in 2025, then it could easily reach a new ATH.
ETH’s Time Will Come
Crypto analyst Ted provided a bullish outlook for the Ethereum price, stating that ETH’s time will soon come. The analyst cited another data, which shows that the first quarter of 2025 will be huge for Ethereum. He noted that ETH and BTC’s dominance move inversely during a bull run. Currently, Bitcoin’s dominance is on the verge of a big leg down, which is why Ted is confident that ETH will soon pump to new highs.

At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $3,380, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
