📉 Ethereum — Why So Many Red Monthly Closes?
$ETH showing 6 consecutive red months and 11 red months out of 14 signals a prolonged structural weakness — not just normal volatility.
⸻
🔻 1) Capital Rotating to Bitcoin
• During uncertain markets, money flows to BTC first
• Ethereum is viewed as higher risk than Bitcoin
• Rising BTC dominance drains liquidity from ETH and alts
👉 ETH typically outperforms later in the cycle, not early.
⸻
⚙️ 2) Weak Narrative Momentum
Ethereum currently lacks a strong hype driver:
• DeFi activity plateaued
• No major “must-own” narrative like past cycles
Without fresh demand, price bleeds slowly.
⸻
💸 3) Supply & Selling Pressure
Even after the merge:
• Staking rewards still add sell pressure
• Unlocks from early investors & funds
• Traders rotating into “faster” L1s or AI/other narratives
Net effect → constant overhead supply.
🏦 4) Institutional Preference for BTC
Institutions typically choose Bitcoin first because:
• Simpler regulatory status
• “Digital gold” positioning
• Lower perceived risk
ETH demand from big money has been weaker in comparison.
⸻
🧪 5) Competition From Other Chains
Newer ecosystems attract liquidity:
• Faster and cheaper networks
• Aggressive incentives
• New user growth outside Ethereum
This fragments capital that previously flowed mainly into ETH.
⸻
⚠️ 6) Macro & Liquidity Tightness
Crypto moves with global liquidity.
• High interest rates → risk assets struggle
• Reduced retail inflows
• Lower speculative appetite
ETH, being more “tech growth-like,” suffers more.
⸻
🧠 What This Usually Signals
🐻 Bear/Accumulation Phase Behavior
Long streaks of red months often occur during:
➡️ Capitulation
➡️ Silent accumulation by large players
➡️ Pre-cycle basing
Historically, ETH underperforms before explosive catch-up rallies.
