The asset has retreated 13% in the past week, is down 10% over the past month, and sits 19% below its all-time high of $4,946 set on Aug. 24.<\/p>\n<p>The drop forced more than $170 million in long liquidations. Trading activity, however, showed signs of resilience. Ethereum\u2019s (ETH) daily volume rose to $35.2 billion, up more than 13% from the previous day, pointing to an active market despite the price slide.<\/p>\n<p>In derivatives markets, CoinGlass <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/currencies\/ETH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">data<\/a> shows ETH volume up 11.64% to $86.9 billion and open interest higher by 1.01% at $57.7 billion. A slight increase in open interest combined with rising volume indicates short-term speculative positioning, with traders hedging against downside volatility.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spot ETH ETF outflows weigh in on price<\/h2>\n<p>Flows into regulated products added to the pressure. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/m.sosovalue.com\/assets\/etf\/us-eth-spot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Data<\/a> from SoSoValue shows that U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs recorded a combined $79.4 million in net outflows on Sept. 24, their third straight day of withdrawals. <\/p>\n<p>Fidelity\u2019s FETH led redemptions with $33.3 million, followed by BlackRock\u2019s ETHA at $26.5 million. Other issuers, including Grayscale, Ark 21Shares, and Bitwise, also saw large outflows.<\/p>\n<p>The withdrawals came against the backdrop of a shifting macro environment. Following the Federal Reserve\u2019s recent 25 basis point rate cut to 4.00\u20134.25%, ETH briefly jumped above $4,600 on Sept. 19.<\/p>\n<p>However, the rally waned as traders took profits and weighed softening labor market data. The move echoed patterns seen in 2024 when markets rallied ahead of policy shifts before retracing.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ethereum whales are buying<\/h2>\n<p>On-chain data revealed a resurgence of interest from major investors amid the selling pressure. On a Sept. 25 post on X, Lookonchain revealed that ten wallets, using exchanges and over-the-counter desks such as Kraken, Galaxy Digital, BitGo, and FalconX, amassed 210,452 Ethereum worth $862.9 million in just six hours.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Many whales are accumulating <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ETH&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">$ETH<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>In the past 6 hours, 10 wallets have received 210,452 <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ETH&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">$ETH<\/a>($862.85M) from Kraken, Galaxy Digital OTC, BitGo, and FalconX. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JxQOBV9g7Y\">pic.twitter.com\/JxQOBV9g7Y<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lookonchain (@lookonchain) <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lookonchain\/status\/1971029620788166761?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">September 25, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Such whale activity is often read as a sign of long-term conviction and can precede short-term recoveries if selling pressure eases.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ethereum price technical analysis<\/h2>\n<p>From a technical standpoint, Ethereum\u2019s structure has turned more cautious. The lower band around $3,750 is now in focus after the price broke below the Bollinger Bands\u2019 midline at $4,408. Momentum indicators are still weak, with the relative strength index at 34.5, approaching oversold territory.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ethereum daily chart. Credit: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The 10-, 20-, and 50-day moving averages are all above the current price and act as resistance, while the MACD is negative, confirming bearish momentum. The 200-day EMA at $3,392 offers a deeper cushion in case selling picks up speed, while support is currently forming close to the 100-day EMA at $3,850.<\/p>\n<p>For Ethereum to resume a bullish trajectory, it would need to recover the $4,250\u2013$4,400 region. Sustained ETF outflows and weak macro sentiment may push ETH toward $3,850 or lower.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under pressure from exchange-traded fund outflows and macro headwinds, Ethereum fell below the $4,000 mark for the first time since early August.\u00a0 Summary Ethereum price drops below $4K for first&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5967,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11714","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11714"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11714\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11715,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11714\/revisions\/11715"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11714"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11714"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11714"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
