It tried to resume its run in mid-January when it jumped to $3,400, but it was rejected again, and the subsequent correction pushed it south to $1,800 on a couple of occasions.<\/p>\n<p>Although it has managed to defend that level for now, it still trades 45% lower than its mid-January peak. Substantial sell-offs have continued, while one popular analyst laid out what could be valid entry points for long-term exposure.<\/p>\n<h2>Sell-Offs Continue<\/h2>\n<p>If we compare ETH\u2019s price with net flows into spot Ethereum ETFs, we will see a strong resemblance in investor behavior and price moves. For instance, the cumulative net flows peaked at over $15 billion in early October before the massive October 10 crash. Since then, outflows have consistently dominated, with investors pulling out well over $3 billion by February 24.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Ethereum\u2019s co-founder has also joined the selling spree. <em>CryptoPotato<\/em> has <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/vitalik-buterin-accelerates-eth-sales-amid-renewed-market-weakness\/\">reported<\/a> on several occasions on Vitalik Buterin\u2019s substantial disposal of ETH tokens for the past several weeks. Most recent on-chain data shows that he has dumped roughly 17,000 ETH in less than a month, valued at around $34 million.<\/p>\n<p>In a post titled \u201cVitalik Buterin Is Selling Ethereum Near the Bottom,\u201d renowned analyst Ali Martinez <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alicharts\/status\/2026311366915555380\">explained<\/a> why the co-founder might regret his timing as the bottom could be closer than expected.<\/p>\n<h2>ETH Entry Points<\/h2>\n<p>Martinez said one of the most reliable \u201cbottom-detection metrics\u201d for the largest altcoin \u2013 the MVRV Ratio \u2013 is currently at 0.78, while the asset has neared or reached a macro bottom at levels below 0.80.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1429710\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1429710\" style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ETH-MVRV-scaled.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1429710 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ETH-MVRV-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"ETH MVRV.
