Ethereum Price Faces a Drop to $4,000 Owing to $2 Billion ETH Selling

Ethereum Price Faces a Drop to $4,000 Owing to $2 Billion ETH Selling

Ethereum faces mounting pressure as $2.3 billion worth of ETH flows to exchanges, with risks of a drop to $4,000 if support fails.

Ethereum failed to reach the $5,000 mark earlier this month and is now struggling to remain above $4,500. 

The altcoin king faces increasing pressure as recent market conditions weaken support levels. With selling activity rising, Ethereum could be vulnerable to further declines in the near term.

Ethereum Holders Are Selling

The MVRV Ratio for Ethereum has climbed to 2.15, showing that on average, investors currently hold 2.15 times their initial capital as unrealized gains. This level has historically coincided with periods of increased profit-taking. Similar patterns were observed in March 2024 and December 2020, both followed by heightened volatility.

On-chain data confirms profit-taking is already elevated. Investors are using these levels to lock in gains, leading to increased selling pressure. The correlation between the current MVRV ratio and past cycles highlights the likelihood of short-term corrections.

The exchange net position change further highlights selling activity. Investors have shifted from accumulation to distribution, with 521,000 ETH worth over $2.3 billion sent to exchanges in the past week. This scale of inflow indicates widespread profit-taking across the market. Such actions typically increase the chance of extended corrections.

The timing aligns with the MVRV signal, reinforcing the historical pattern of sharp declines following high unrealized gains. Fear of saturation in bullish momentum appears to be driving capital rotation. The combination of heavy inflows and elevated profit-taking weakens.

ETH Price Remains Vulnerable

Ethereum trades at $4,433 at the time of writing, sitting below the $4,500 resistance. The asset failed to reclaim this level as support, signaling weakness in sustaining higher ground. Without renewed buying, Ethereum risks sliding further into lower ranges.

The prevailing conditions suggest Ethereum could break the $4,222 support. A decline below this level may push the altcoin king down to $4,007 or lower. Such movement would confirm broader selling trends and align with on-chain indicators signaling profit-taking.

If selling pressure halts, Ethereum may bounce from $4,222 and attempt to reclaim $4,500. A successful recovery could extend to $4,749, re-establishing short-term strength. This move would invalidate bearish signals.
