Ethereum fell below the $4,000 mark on Thursday, hitting a nearly seven-week low and continuing the sharp cryptocurrency correction seen this week. The entire crypto market has lost over $140 billions in market capitalization.
On Thursday (September 25), Ethereum, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency, dropped as much as 4.7%, hitting a low of $3,969, while bitcoin also fell by 1.7%.
According to Coinglass, nearly 130,000 people were liquidated globally in the past 24 hours, with total liquidations exceeding $400 million.
The cooling of institutional inflows has intensified selling pressure. Since Monday, investors have withdrawn nearly $300 million from US-listed Ethereum ETFs. On Monday alone, a sudden market drop led to $1.7 billions worth of long positions being forcibly liquidated, impacting almost all mainstream cryptocurrencies.
According to Rachael Lucas, a cryptocurrency analyst at BTC Markets, Ethereum’s pullback is due to “cooling institutional inflows” and “technical indicators showing short-term pressure.” Lucas warned that if Ethereum falls below $3,800, it is expected to trigger more liquidations.
Although the supply of Ethereum on exchanges has dropped to a nine-year low, suggesting long-term holders are accumulating, selling by these long-term holders has offset the positive impact of new capital inflows, putting Ethereum in a tug-of-war between bullish and bearish forces.
Long-term holders’ selling offsets positive signals
Despite the continued decline of Ethereum’s exchange supply to a nine-year low—indicating investors are withdrawing tokens from centralized platforms for long-term holding—the market still faces selling pressure from long-term holders.
Over the past month, investors have accumulated more than 2.7 million Ethereum, worth over $11.3 billions, demonstrating strong confidence in Ethereum’s long-term potential.
However, Ethereum’s activity indicator has been on the rise. This metric measures the behavior of long-term holders, and an increase usually means these investors are selling rather than accumulating.
Analysts point out that selling by long-term holders has offset the bullish pressure from new capital inflows, putting Ethereum in a stalemate between two opposing market forces.
If long-term holders continue to sell in large quantities, Ethereum’s price may fall further, potentially testing the $3,910 level, which would completely break the current bullish expectations.
