Well, folks, grab your tissues because Ethereum just took a nosedive that would make a skydiver jealous! 🚀💔 It’s officially one of the worst-performing blue-chip cryptocurrencies this February. Who knew that a six-year trend could be broken faster than my New Year’s resolutions?
Ethereum (ETH) plummeted to a staggering low of $2,075. That’s right, the lowest it’s been since January 2024! And just to add some salt to the wound, that’s about 50% below its peak in November 2023. Talk about a dramatic fall from grace! This is the first February decline for Ethereum since 2018, and let’s just say, it’s not winning any awards for performance this month. 🏆
But wait, there’s more! Ethereum’s decline is like a sad little puppy compared to its rivals. Bitcoin (BTC) only fell by 25% this year, and Ripple (XRP) is down around 40%. So, if you’re keeping score, Ethereum is the kid who tripped and fell while everyone else is just walking. 😬
What’s causing this crypto catastrophe, you ask? Well, it seems like the exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are having a meltdown. All spot Ethereum ETFs have seen asset losses for six straight days, bringing their total assets down to a measly $2.86 billion. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs are shedding over $4 billion like it’s going out of style. 💸
And let’s not forget about the competition! Ethereum is losing market share faster than I lose my keys. Layer-1 networks like Solana (SOL) and BNB Smart Chain, along with layer-2 networks like Base and Arbitrum, are all vying for the spotlight. It’s like a high school dance, and Ethereum is stuck in the corner. 🕺
To top it all off, the broader crypto market is in a panic, with the Fear & Greed Index dropping to 33. Spoiler alert: that’s not a good sign! 😱
Ethereum price loses key support as it forms a death cross
As predicted in our earlier analysis (because we’re basically crypto psychics), ETH price is continuing its crash course. We’re talking about a bearish flag chart pattern that’s more dramatic than a soap opera. A flag pattern consists of a long vertical move followed by consolidation, which is just a fancy way of saying, “It’s not looking good, folks.”
And if that wasn’t enough, Ethereum has just formed a death cross. Yes, you heard that right! This occurs when the 200-day moving average crosses below the 50-day moving average. It’s like the market’s way of saying, “Sorry, not sorry!” 😬
Ethereum has also lost its key support level at $2,150, which was the lowest swing in August and September 2023. This price was the neckline of the triple-top pattern at $4,000. So, if you’re keeping track, that’s a lot of numbers that mean “bad news.” 📉
Additionally, the Average Directional Index has risen to 40, indicating that downward momentum is strengthening. In layman’s terms, it’s like a rollercoaster that’s only going down. 🎢
Given that the distance between the triple-top pattern and the neckline at $2,150 is 47%, applying the same measure downward suggests that Ethereum’s price could crash to $1,095. So, if you’re holding Ethereum, maybe it’s time to invest in some popcorn and watch the show! 🍿
