A double-top pattern at $86 led to the RSI drop, indicating that downside momentum is likely to come in the next few days. Ethereum is currently facing a growing number of risk factors from a technical perspective.
The sharp decrease in ETH’s price is explained by the decreasing interest among American investors. According to the data, Ethereum ETFs suffered net outflows worth about $140 million on Tuesday. The previous day had also seen a loss of $75 million.
The outflows demonstrate the shrinking demand for ETH, especially among large investors. This has become a major factor that contributed to the price decrease. Ethereum ETFs, which received inflows of up to $13.7 billion in total, currently have around $27.4 billion in assets under mana gement.
The largest share is owned by BlackRock’s ETHA ETF, which accounts for more than $15.9 billion of assets. The rest of the major funds, including Grayscale, Fidelity, Bitwise, and VanEck, also have a considerable share in ETH. Their falling interest has further pressured the price of the cryptocurrency.
Furthermore, ETH demonstrated a performance that aligns with the trend in the cryptocurrency market as a whole. Bitcoin, the corresponding asset for ETH, has also decreased in price from $124,200, the record since launch, to $112,000. They further created following the reduction of the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies to $3.87 trillion.
