You Won’t Believe What These 3 Ethereum Charts Are Hinting At — Is Moonville Back?

by

Key takeaways:

  • Ether just made a Dragonfly doji candlestick. To the uninitiated, that’s not a rare insect, it’s a technical pattern that appears right before traders start dreaming in Lamborghinis and laser eyes. Apparently, it’s the market’s equivalent of raising an eyebrow suggestively. 🦗

  • ETH is playing a dangerously close game of “how low can you go” with its long-term parabolic support. Last time this happened, Ether’s price launched harder than my dad trying to avoid small talk at a family BBQ.

  • The MVRV Z-Score has decided we’re officially in an undervalued “accumulation zone.” Translation: ETH is currently the unwanted fruitcake of the market, but that’s typically the part where all the fun starts.

Ethereum’s native token—the ever-mysterious Ether (ETH)—is flashing enough bullish indicators to make even my most cynical uncle say, “Eh, maybe I’ll set up a Wallet.” This kind of technical and onchain fireworks show was last seen during the early days of Ethereum’s 2017 bull run, aka the year ETH did a 25,000% YOLO and cemented itself as “that one coin your cousin won’t shut up about.”

Dragonfly Doji Swings In (And Bulls Pretend They Knew It All Along)

Up first: The Dragonfly Doji candlestick. It’s rare. It’s dramatic. It’s basically the financial chart version of arriving fashionably late and pretending you meant to all along. In 2017, this little chart critter showed up, and ETH went from pocket change to “if you squint, maybe you retire” in about a year.

How do you spot a Dragonfly Doji? Long lower wick, no upper wick, closed near the open. It’s the candlestick equivalent of falling down the stairs and sticking the landing—messy beginning, but hey, you ended up upright.

Turns out, when Ether did this dance in December 2016, it rocketed from under $6 to over $1,400. It tried the same trick in 2021 and 2023, jumping 80% and 145%. Not as wild, but still enough to humble-brag to your barista. If this May sees a strong open—especially above $1,950—strap in. We might be headed, once again, toward those magical days when everyone suddenly turns into a technical analysis savant.

Parabolic Support: It’s Not Just a Buzzword for Twitter Anymore

You know things are getting serious when someone called “Merlijn the Trader” shows up. The man points at ETH’s parabolic support zone, which—judging by the chart color—looks suspiciously like the green light at the end of Gatsby’s dock.

“Every cycle, this green zone flips the switch.” This is corroborated by a cryptic X post, which, like most crypto social media, exudes both apocalyptic dread and moon-level optimism. In 2017, ETH bounced here, rode that trendline, and didn’t look back until everyone who said, “It’s just a phase” started nervously avoiding eye contact.

Flash forward to 2025, and ETH is doing its best impression of déjà vu on this same chart. Is it a new cycle? Is it a glitch in the Matrix? Either way, I’m watching.

MVRV Z-Score: The Nerdier the Metric, the Juicier the Rally?

Now for the onchain stuff—the MVRV Z-Score. What is it? Basically, a cryptic green bar that screams, “This is when smart people buy.” Every time ETH dips here (think late 2018, March 2020, mid-2022), it’s like someone hit the giant “reset” button on market misery. Afterward, you get multi-month or even multi-year rallies. At least, that’s what the squiggly line people claim. 🤓

So, in sum, we’re staring at three charts all quietly whispering: “Hey, you up? Might be time to pay attention.” Or, you know, grab some popcorn and watch Twitter do its thing. Either way, it’s getting interesting.
