Ethereum just saw its 2nd largest daily sell-side imbalance ever — over $418M net taker volume, meaning ~116K more $ETH sold than bought. Historically, this kind of pressure marked local tops. 🧯
But here’s the twist — ETH is holding the $3,643 level like a champ. Buyers are still showing up. 👀
Technically, ETH just broke down from a textbook cup & handle pattern — failing to reclaim $3,950. Now consolidating in a descending channel, with RSI at 57, signaling neutral momentum.
⚠️ Bulls must reclaim $3,950 soon — or risk invalidating the bullish structure and sliding toward deeper support.
On-chain, things aren’t as bearish:
📈 New Addresses up +30%
🟢 Active Addresses up +3%
💎 Long-term holders still sitting on solid unrealized gains (MVRV diff >12.36%)
So… is this a trapdoor or a launchpad?
🧠 My take: ETH is not done yet. The fundamentals are flexing under the surface. As long as activity holds & LTHs stay calm, a retest of $3,950 isn’t off the table.
Next 48–72h will show if bulls are ready to flip the switch. Stay sharp.
