It began on a high note, alongside the rest of the market, but slumped after the first Trump-induced tariffs to under $1,500 in April. It went on a massive run in the following months and broke its 2021 all-time high by coming inches away from the $5,000 mark.<\/p>\n<p>The trend since then has been precisely the opposite, as it plunged by almost 50% to bottom out at $2,600 in late November. Despite a few price jumps above $3,000, it has been unable to reclaim that level decisively and now sits inches below it. But there are additional warning shots for its future price performance.<\/p>\n<h2>Investors Selling Off<\/h2>\n<p>Data shared by Ali Martinez shows that Ethereum whales had disposed of $360 million worth of ETH in the past week alone. Their total holdings have been declining ever since the early October run-up from more than 5.73 million tokens to 5.61 million as of press time.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">$360 million in Ethereum <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ETH&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$ETH<\/a> sold by whales in just one week! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wUNcGoJi5r\">pic.twitter.com\/wUNcGoJi5r<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ali Charts (@alicharts) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alicharts\/status\/2002506295329632621?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 20, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Another worrying trend on the sell side is the recent behavior of investors using the spot Ethereum ETFs to gain exposure to the asset. Farside data paints a clear picture, as the funds have been in the red for seven consecutive trading days since December 11. They have lost almost $650 million in the past week alone, and over $700 million since December 11.<\/p>\n<p>The total net inflows into the ETH-based exchange-traded funds stood at over $15 billion in early October but have declined to under $12.5 billion as of Friday\u2019s close.<\/p>\n<h2>The Flipside<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike the aforementioned selling spree by different cohorts of investors, on-chain data suggests that retail has been returning. Santiment <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/new-ethereum-wallets-surge-as-analysts-eye-a-major-eth-price-move\/\">presented<\/a> evidence that the number of newly created ETH addresses has seen a few impressive spikes to well over 190,000 daily in December, which are levels even higher than those seen in July, right before the underlying asset started to gain traction.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, some analysts, such as Merlijn The Trader, believe ETH could be on the verge of a breakout. He compared the current setup to the 2015-2018 parabolic rally in terms of accumulation that could open the door for the asset to surge by triple-digits against BTC.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThis Ethereum Move Will Catch Everyone Off Guard,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/is-ethereum-crashing-again-2-major-warning-signs-you-cant-ignore\/\">Is Ethereum Crashing Again? 2 Major Warning Signs You Can\u2019t Ignore<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2025 has been a rollercoaster of a year for the second-largest cryptocurrency.
