Ether is ‘Dying a Slow Death’ as ETH/BTC Continues to Fall

Ethereum’s native token, Ether (ETH), recently fell below its longest-standing support level against Bitcoin (BTC), prompting top analysts to suggest it is “dying a slow death.” Ether breaks key support level The ETH/BTC pair has slipped below the ascending trendline support that has marked market bottoms since 2016. This trendline previously triggered notable rebounds, including a 300% rise between December 2020 and December 2021 and an 1,800% surge between January 2017 and May 2017. However, in November 2024, Ethereum bulls failed to hold the support, with ETH/BTC dropping about 15% below it amid increased trading volumes. In technical analysis, losing Finbold

Ethereum Sees $1 Billion Exchange Outflow Alongside Bitcoin: What This Means For Price

Ethereum has witnessed a huge surge in on-chain activity in the past week, with data showing an accumulation trend from crypto exchanges. According to on-chain analytics platfrom IntoTheBlock, about $1 million worth of Ether was withdrawn from crypto exchanges last week. This shift suggests that investors are adopting a holding strategy, even as the Ethereum price consolidates below $3,200. Related Reading: Bitcoin To $800K?

The massive exodus of ETH from exchanges could indicate that traders are anticipating higher prices and moving their holdings into private wallets. Examining The Ethereum $1 Billion Outflow The notable outflow of Ethereum from crypto exchanges is highlighted by the ‘Aggregated Exchange Netflow’ data from IntoTheBlock. This metric, which follows the total number of assets entering crypto exchanges minus those leaving, is useful for determining the bullish sentiment among traders. A high outflow signals accumulation behavior since people buy on exchanges and withdraw it to their wallets. According to the metric, the netflow of aggregated exchanges in the last 24 hours comes at a negative 59,240 ETH change. This pattern is not an isolated occurrence but part of a larger trend that has unfolded throughout the week. IntoTheBlock highlighted this ongoing behavior on social media platform X, drawing attention to Ethereum’s weekly net outflow from exchanges reaching $1 billion. Interestingly, this movement is not exclusive to Ethereum. Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, has also experienced a similar trend, with its weekly exchange net outflow mirroring Ethereum’s at $1 billion. This parallel behavior suggests a broader market sentiment where major cryptocurrencies are being withdrawn from exchanges and traders across the board are anticipating a bullish market ahead. Both $BTC and $ETH saw significant outflows from exchanges this week, with net outflows for both surpassing $1 billion.

Ethereum has retraced quite noticeably since it reached $3,420 on November 12. Particularly, Ethereum fell to $3,018 as Ethereum tokens flooded crypto exchanges. Despite the apparent 11% correction, the Ethereum price has managed to hold above support at $3,000. The decline seems to have given bulls another opportunity to load up more ETH. Now that the price floor seems to have been established at $3,000, we can expect the Ethereum price to kick off a new uptrend this week. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $3,152, reflecting a 1.5% gain over the past 24 hours, hinting at early signs of recovery. Current price action puts Etherum forming a falling wedge pattern, which can break into either side.
