This may put downward pressure on the altcoin's price, putting it at risk of shedding its recent gains. This analysis delves into what coin holders may expect.
Ethereum Long-Term Holders Aim for Profit
Broader market sentiment has shifted from neutral to greed as trading activity begins to gain momentum. Over the past 24 hours, Ethereum's price has jumped 4%.
This price rally has prompted many dormant coin holders to become active, as evidenced by the spike in ETH's age consumed. Santiment's data shows that this metric, which tracks the movement of long-held coins, skyrocketed by over 400% on Monday, reaching 66.42 million — its highest since October 4.
When an asset's age consumed spikes, it indicates that many previously inactive coins or tokens have recently been moved or traded. Generally, when dormant coins re-enter circulation, it indicates renewed activity from long-term holders.
However, the accompanying uptick in Ethereum's netflow volume suggests that a substantial portion of these reactivated coins have been deposited onto exchanges. BeinCrypto's assessment of Ethereum's exchange activity reveals that on Monday, 51,881 ETH coins, valued at over $135 million based on current market prices, were transferred to cryptocurrency exchanges.
When an asset witnesses an increase in its exchange deposit, it means more investors are selling than buying.
ETH Price Prediction: Price Risks 10% Drop
Ethereum's price may fall toward resistance at $2,579 if selling activity gains momentum. If the level fails to hold as support, the altcoin's price may dip further to the support formed at $2,320, representing a 10% drop from its current value of $2,616.
However, if selling pressure weakens and new demand enters the market, the bearish projection above is invalidated. Ethereum's price will extend its gains and climb toward the next major resistance at $3,102.
