According to a recent analysis by Benjamin Cowen, CEO and Founder of ITC Crypto, the crypto market has entered \u201cStep 2\u201d of his guide for 2025. The analyst pinpointed Ethereum (ETH)<\/a> in his price chart, emphasizing that the second-largest cryptocurrency is set to decline further, in line with his earlier predictions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Step 2: Crypto Market Sells Off As ETH Goes Home<\/h2>\n

Ethereum is currently experiencing widespread market sell-offs as investors react to its bearish price action and tightening liquidity conditions. Failing to meet investors’ expectations, the price of Ethereum has struggled to maintain strong momentum<\/a> in this bull market.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cowen\u2019s chart analysis suggests<\/a> that the current downtrend aligns with the broader market cycle, where Bitcoin\u2019s dominance rises above 60%, leading to capital flows from altcoins like Ethereum<\/a>. The analyst announced that the crypto market is currently in the second phase of his guide for 2025\u2019s market trajectory.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a previous X post<\/a> on January 29, Cowen outlined a structured six-step roadmap for his 2025 market cycle theory. The first step highlights an increase in Bitcoin\u2019s dominance<\/a> to over 60%. This occurs when investors leave altcoins and move into Bitcoin, seeking stability amidst the volatility and uncertainty of the crypto market. During this time, Ethereum and most altcoins underperform<\/a> due to the lack of interest and demand from investors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, in Step 2 of Cowen\u2019s 2025 guide, the experiences a sell-off as investors take profit amidst volatility and ongoing declines in cryptocurrencies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite rising to $3,000 earlier in this bull market, Ethereum has failed to maintain positive momentum, recording steep declines as its price struggles to find stable support. According to data from CoinMarketCap, ETH is currently trading at $2,594, reflecting a massive 16.4% price crash in the last 24 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over the past weeks, Ethereum has performed poorly, experiencing a sharp decline to new lows while other cryptocurrencies have gained momentum. The altcoin\u2019s price has plunged to new lows, dropping by more than 27.6% in just a month. This downturn has also significantly impacted its market capitalization, which has fallen to $312.6 billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cowen\u2019s 2025 Market Guide: What\u2019s Next?<\/h2>\n

In Step 3 of his market cycle theory for 2025, Cowen predicts that the Federal Reserve (FED)<\/a> will shift its policy and end quantitative tightening, which has been draining liquidity from the financial markets. This decision is critical, as easing monetary conditions would pave the way for the analyst\u2019s fourth step \u2014 a bullish phase fueled by market rallies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the fifth step, Cowen predicts that macroeconomic conditions<\/a> will deteriorate later in the year. This could include factors like inflation, interest rate, geopolitical stability, and others. The final step in his 2025 market cycle guide forecasts a full-blown recession. Cowen projects that this recession would lead to a bear market<\/a>, aligning with historical midterm election year cycles, where markets tend to face deeper corrections. <\/p>\n
