Ethereum’s native token, Ether (ETH), has dropped into deeply oversold territory, flashing its weakest relative strength index (RSI) reading since April 2025. What does it mean for ETH prices next? Let’s examine.
Expect Short-Term ETH Rebounds But…
The last time ETH’s 4-hour RSI sank this low, the token rebounded by over 30% within days, kickstarting a broader bullish reversal that eventually delivered a staggering 250% rally.
But this time, the setup looks different.
At press time, ETH hovers near $3,900 after a steep September correction.
Its RSI sits around 27, firmly below the 30 threshold that typically signals oversold conditions. Traders eye this as a potential bounce trigger, especially with ETH historically prone to sharp snap-backs after such extremes.
Yet, a look at history shows two possible playbooks. In April, oversold signals came after a deep multimonth sell-off, providing fuel for a strong trend reversal.
By contrast, in December 2024, ETH also became oversold near $3,430. That move sparked a quick 20% rally, but the bounce was short-lived. ETH eventually collapsed to as low as $1,385 in early 2025.
Today’s market looks closer to December 2024 than April 2025.
Moreover, macro headwinds and technical breakdowns suggest any near-term bounce could meet resistance near the $4,200–$4,300 zone, aligning with ETH’s descending trendline and 200-EMA on the 4-hour chart.
Ethereum could rebound 10–15% from oversold levels. But unless bulls reclaim key resistance, history suggests the relief rally risks fading into another leg lower, just like late 2024.

The September 2025 price action mirrors that structure. ETH has once again broken below a critical support line, this time near $4,200, with downside momentum now pointing toward $3,800.
If history rhymes, the breakdown could serve as a “fake-out,” flushing out weak hands before a trend reversal takes shape. A successful defense of the $3,800 region could set the stage for another reversal in the coming weeks, just as seen in June.
