However, it failed to breach the key psychological resistance at $3,000, settling at $2,938 at press time. At this level, the second-largest crypto asset by market cap, valued at $354.5 billion, remains down nearly 30% over the past month and is trading 40.6% below its all-time high reached in August this year.<\/p>\n<p>Ethereum\u2019s price has repeatedly faced resistance at $3,000 and, once again, failed to breach that level earlier today amid ongoing weak staking inflows.<\/p>\n<p>For context, staking inflows are a metric that indicates when investors withdraw their ETH holdings from exchanges to stake them. As a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency, staking helps bolster the Ethereum network\u2019s security. It is generally seen as supportive of the asset\u2019s price, as staked ETH is locked and effectively removed from circulation.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoquant.com\/asset\/eth\/chart\/eth2\/staking-inflow-total?window=DAY&amp;sma=0&amp;ema=0&amp;priceScale=log&amp;metricScale=linear&amp;chartStyle=column&amp;img=link%2F692447c6e69e12693d3aaee4.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Data<\/a> from CryptoQuant shows that staking inflows have dropped from $160,000 near the end of October to just $2,941 today, as traders continue rotating into other cryptocurrencies that offer higher yields at a lower investment threshold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInvestors still find Ethereum, currently priced [around $2,900], too expensive to stake. This situation could push the price down toward $2,500,\u201d CryptoQuant analysts <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoquant.com\/insights\/quicktake\/692447cfe69e12693d3aaee5-Weakening-Staking-Inflows-Are-Putting-Pressure-on-Ethereums-Price\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">noted<\/a> in a recent market report.<\/p>\n<p>At press time, the annual staking yield for Ethereum was around 1.9\u20132%, far lower than some of its competing proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies, such as Avalanche at 4.7%, Solana at 4.2%, and Bittensor at 14.7%.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the bearish outlook, Ethereum ETFs have also recorded significant net outflows since the beginning of November, totaling <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sosovalue.com\/assets\/etf\/us-eth-spot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">$1.56 billion<\/a> so far. This suggests that institutional investors who had previously been supporting ETH through ETF exposure have also turned their backs on the asset, at least for now.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ethereum price analysis<\/h1>\n<p>On the daily chart, Ethereum\u2019s price has formed multiple bearish patterns that could keep traders at bay and potentially trigger a steeper short-term correction.<\/p>\n<p>The 50-day simple moving average is approaching a crossover with the 200-day one, which would form a death cross, a pattern that typically precedes a prolonged downtrend and signals weakening market momentum.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ethereum price is forming a death cross pattern on the daily chart \u2014 Nov. 26 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As per a previous report from crypto.news, the altcoin\u2019s price action also appears to have shaped a rounded top pattern. This is another bearish formation that often signals exhaustion of buying pressure and may pave the way for an extended pullback.<\/p>\n<p>For now, traders are likely keeping a close eye on the $2,370 to $2,470 zone, a range that has historically served as strong support earlier this year and where bulls previously staged a successful rebound. A decisive drop below this area could open the door for deeper losses.<\/p>\n<p>However, on a more positive note, Ethereum could see a recovery rally if it breaks out of the falling wedge pattern that has also formed on the daily chart. When an asset breaks out of a falling wedge, it is usually taken as a sign of an impending bullish reversal, especially when accompanied by substantial volume and positive market sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__icon\">\n            <svg class=\"icon icon-info\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-info\"><\/use> <\/svg>        <\/div>\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
