<p>Ethereum may be nearing the final chapter of a multi-year pattern, according to market analyst Gert van Lagen, who highlighted a textbook Expanding Diagonal structure now approaching completion. His bi-weekly chart suggests that ETH is progressing through the final corrective sequence, an a-b-c formation, with the last wave potentially preparing for a powerful breakout.</p>
<h2 id="wave-v-enters-its-final-stages">Wave v Enters Its Final Stages</h2>
<p>The structure van Lagen outlines places Ethereum deep inside Wave v of the diagonal, a phase that typically concludes a larger trend. Wave a within this final move has already shown strength, pushing above the key horizontal barrier at $3,650,&nbsp;an area that previously capped multiple attempts to climb higher.</p>

<p>Wave b is now retracing into a major liquidity zone defined by a Fair Value Gap (FVG) and a higher-timeframe simple moving average cluster. Van Lagen frames this zone as a natural support area within the diagonal’s expanding structure.</p>
<h2 id="why-the-liquidity-zone-matters">Why the Liquidity Zone Matters</h2>
<p>In expanding diagonal <strong><a href="https://x.com/GertvanLagen/status/1991993192858759340" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">patterns</a></strong>, broadening trend lines often produce deeper and more volatile mid-pattern retracements. According to van Lagen, Ethereum’s current price action fits this template cleanly: expanding highs, expanding lows, and corrective waves that interact with liquidity pockets rather than invalidating the structure.</p>
<p>Wave b’s reaction here will be crucial. A sustained hold above this region strengthens the scenario in which the final wave, wave c,&nbsp;triggers a decisive upward impulse.</p>

<p>If the pattern plays out as outlined, the concluding move could be the most dramatic. Van Lagen’s green target zone, the projected destination for wave c, sits between $9,000 and $18,000, a range aligned with measured diagonal extensions.</p>
<p>This target band represents the broad top of the expanding formation, and historically, structures like this often resolve with sharp, climactic moves once the final impulse begins.</p>

<p>Ethereum has spent years developing this diagonal, starting in 2019 and gradually widening through successive cycles. Van Lagen’s chart even includes a reference to a similar pattern in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, reinforcing the idea that expanding diagonals can precede powerful transitional moves in major assets.</p>
<p>With wave v approaching its conclusion and liquidity aligning below current prices, the chart suggests that Ethereum may be nearing a pivotal moment.</p>
