Ethereum Sinks To $1.2k, But Selling Pressure Only Seems To Be Rising

Ethereum has plunged below $1.3k today, but the decline may not be over quite just yet as on-chain data shows selling pressure continues to rise in the market. Ethereum Exchange Inflows Have Continued To Go Up During The Past Day As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the ETH derivative and spot exchange inflows are both still on the rise. The “exchange inflow” is an indicator that measures the total amount of Ethereum entering into the wallets of centralized exchanges. There are two versions of this metric, the first notes the inflows specifically going to derivative exchanges, and the other registers only those transfers that are moving to spot exchanges. Generally, a rise in the derivative inflows leads to higher volatility in the market, as it implies that new futures positions are opening up, and leverage is increasing.

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in both the Ethereum exchange inflow indicators (7-day moving averages) over the past year: The 7-day MA values of the two metrics seem to have been pretty high in recent days | Source: CryptoQuant As you can see in the above graph, the Ethereum exchange inflows (both types) spiked up just before the crash shook the market. In this latest drawdown in the price, the crypto has gone from $1.6k all the way down to just $1.2k over the last couple of days. The main spark behind this crash seems to have been the battle between FTX and Binance, which has come to an end with Binance moving to acquire FTX.

Rather, the indicators seem to be actually climbing up even more. This suggests that Ethereum is continuing to experience selling pressure, a sign that the current level may not be the bottom, and the crypto’s value might observe further decline in the coming hours. ETH Price At the time of writing, Ethereum’s price floats around $1.2k, down 21% in the last week. Over the past month, the crypto has dropped 8% in value.
