While this would represent a massive bearish move given the current price of ETH, the analyst says such a drop is significant for a market resetwhere prices find real demand and lasting support.
Analyst Says Ethereum Crash Critical for Market Reset

She boldly predicted that the price of ETH could drop to $800 during the month. the ongoing bear market. With the cryptocurrency currently trading above $2,100, a drop to that level would represent a staggering loss of over 61%.

If ETH falls to this level, it would mark an all-time low, bringing the second-largest cryptocurrency back to levels not seen since 2019.
Rigo noted in her analysis that she previously described the 2024 cycle as a catabolic cycle and expects the current cycle to be the same. She added that while $800 would be a painful drop, it was necessary for a true market reset.

She also noted that many of these new crypto projects are pump and dump schemes which weighed on sentiment and caused a significant number of investors are leaving the market.
Rigo notably described his forecast as a “macroeconomic price forecast”, specifying that it would still take time for everything to go according to plan. In the meantime, she urges investors and traders to remain vigilant, monitor market movements carefully and avoid emotional trading.
