According to BlockBeats news on August 13, the cryptocurrency market analysis firm Santiment stated, 'Ethereum is currently just 6.4% away from its all-time high of $4,891 on November 16, 2021. During Ethereum's rise, retail traders have been continuously selling off.'
Historically, price trends often run contrary to the expectations of retail traders. Extreme greed was observed on June 16 and July 30, 2025, leading to price corrections. However, as asset prices continue to reach new highs, traders exhibit panic (FUD) and skepticism.
Currently, major stakeholders are hoarding the chips that retail traders are willing to sell, with prices showing almost no resistance from market sentiment, indicating that Ethereum may potentially break through and reach a new all-time high in the near future.
