Ethereum's (CRYPTO: ETH) slipping below the $3,000 mark hasn't shaken long-term bulls, with traders framing the move as a buying opportunity rather than a breakdown.
What Happened: In an X post, crypto analyst EliZ said that Ethereum remains a long-term accumulation asset.
Periods of fear, weak sentiment, and sharp drawdowns are precisely when spot buyers, not leveraged traders, are rewarded over time.
While acknowledging that deeper pullbacks are always possible, EliZ emphasized patience and discipline, noting that ETH has historically rewarded investors who accumulate calmly during periods of pessimism.
He also drew a clear distinction between investing and trading.
Long-term investing focuses on accumulation and conviction, while trading is purely technical waiting for clear levels, managing risk tightly, and avoiding anticipation or emotional decisions.

Why It Matters: Crypto analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that Ethereum ETF demand surged last week, with inflows of 80,201 ETH worth roughly $240 million, signaling growing institutional interest despite price weakness.
Historically, Ethereum tends to lag early in market cycles as capital flows first into Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC).
This phase often feels discouraging, particularly for the ETH/BTC pair, but it typically represents absorption rather than true structural weakness.
Once Bitcoin momentum cools, capital often rotates into Ethereum, triggering sharp upside movements, often after many investors have already capitulated.
