Similarly, the currency fell to a minimum of $ 1,770, its lowest point since October 2023 and 57% of its highest level in December last year.
The ongoing ethereum price clash is attributed to several factors such as ETF outings ongoing, Increased competition of Capa-1 and Capa 2 networks, and the fact that it is no longer about the most profitable players in the cryptographic industry.
Kraken analysts have also identified another reason when observing the futures market. In a note from crypto.news, Alexia Theodorou, director of derivatives, said in a statement to crypto.news that eth Weekly Linear Futures had entered into a recoil for the first time since August last year. bitcoin's futures, on the other hand, have remained in counting in this period. The statement said:
“Ether's linear futures have entered back for the first time since last August, which reflects the growing bearish feeling in the market and after a strong 20% decrease in the eth price. bitcoin's futures remain in Account, suggesting a relative force in btc in the midst of a broader uncertainty of the market. “
Linear weekly futures are those contracts that are resolved weekly and pay directly according to prices. When passing back, it means that the price of futures has become lower than the spot price, which is a sign that the market expects the price to decrease more.
On the other hand, the counting is the opposite of the retrospective and is a situation in which the prices of the futures are higher than the current levels. It is a sign that the market anticipates bitcoin's relative force in the future.
