As it is right in September, the 9th month of the calendar year is usually associated with weakness due to two coins, so the Ethereum bull is unstable. The average loss since 2016 was -6.42%, with September being one of Ethereum’s worst performance months over most cycles.
Ethereum is in tears and supported by the agency
Ethereum has been in tears recently, trapped at the highest ever, breathing new life more than ever, and more. As of mid-August 2025, ETH had been trading above $4,700, up about 76% and about 25% since the beginning of August, representing its highest price performance since the 2021 Bull Run.
Intra-site inflows were the main driving force behind Ethereum gatherings as Spot ETH ETF attracted nearly $3 billion in net inflows throughout August, raising prices and revealing new trends among institutional buyers.
Adoptions from the Corporate Treasury have also swelled, collectively accumulating more than $17 billion in ETH reserves this year alone, locking supply and strengthening price momentum.
Tom Lee, co-founder of FundStrat and current chairman of Bitmine Immersion Technologies, made headlines this year with a strategic pivot to his company’s Ethereum.
In just a month, Bitmine has accumulated the world’s largest company, Ethereum Treasury, boasting more than $6.6 billion, making it the largest ETH owner, surpassing even major investments and technology companies such as Consensy.
The macro state remains favorable as dovish signals from the US Federal Reserve and improved global risk sentiment contributed to deeper institutional interests.
On-chain factors such as Defi activity, as well as upgrades to protocols like Pectra, further reduced liquid supply, incentivized long-term holdings, and created a strong tailwind for ETH’s price performance.
ETH’s infamous September weakness, will Bull escape?
However, as September approaches, portfolio rebalancing after the summer runs, as well as tax-related sales, will help damper the hot summer flames. Bitcoin and Crypto Trader Crypto Rover have questioned the curious seasonality of Ethereum.
“September is usually a bearish month for $eth
Not only in general, but especially in the years after Harning.
2017: -21.65%
2021: -12.55%
2025:???
What is your prediction? ”
ETH’s price history reveals the persistent and often brutal pattern of September. Since 2016, August ETH profits will be wiped out regularly in September. In 2017, ETH rose 92% in August and -21.65% in September after China announced an ban on ICOs.
In 2020, ETH prices rose by about 25%, followed by a 17% pullback in September, followed by an ETH rise by about 35% in August 2021 just to retreat 12% in September.
Not everyone is weakened by ETH
Despite the undeniable pattern, not all analysts are bearish. Standard Chartered Bank recently predicted that ETH prices will reach $7,500 by 2025, with a long-term target of $12,000 in 2026 and $18,000 by 2027.
On August 13, 2025, Tom Lee told CNBC he hopes it will “continue charging” with the rise driven by the influx of ETFs and institutional adoption.
Data suggest that ETH is facing seasonal headwinds in September, but a bullish Q4 is waiting, especially after a strong August in August, if ETH can curb the September curse.
