📉 Binance investors are quite pessimistic about Ethereum! Open Positions, which reached a peak of $7.78 billion in December, experienced a loss of $4 billion with a decline of over 50% in four months. This drop is seriously affecting the price of Ethereum and reflects the risk-averse tendency along with the size of recent liquidations. It seems that Ethereum needs more time to stabilize.
The average cost basis for Ethereum investors is $2.2K, indicating that the majority are currently at a loss. 📉
- The main support level is $1.29K, which is the cost basis for whales holding more than 100K Ethereum. - During the Luna crisis on June 18, 2022, Ethereum hit a low of $870 and showed signs of recovery.

XRP holders may be preparing to sell by moving their assets to exchanges.
- The growth of Bitcoin's market value has outpaced both large and small altcoins. - The difference between the 365-day and 30-day moving averages shows the growth momentum. - When this ratio turns negative, it often indicates a strong correction, which presents a potential buying opportunity. - However, remember that each altcoin needs to be analyzed individually!
