Ethereum

<div class="watcher-guru"> 
 <p>The entire <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> market was in a slump. During this bearish phase, a significant number of participants began initiating short positions. Now, these positions against Ethereum [<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="ETH" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/eth.html">ETH</a>] on various <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="cryptocurrency" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/cryptocurrency.html">cryptocurrency</a> exchanges have surged to a yearly high.</p> 
 <p>Santiment noted that this represented the most widespread anticipation of a decline in ETH’s price on Binance since the collapse of FTX in mid-November. The ETH OI-Weighted Funding Rate data from Coinglass illustrated the sums transferred between short and long traders who possess perpetual contract positions in the asset. A positive rate indicates bullish sentiment. Nevertheless, Ethereum’s rate has reached -0.0273% and has maintained a negative stance since Aug. 18.</p>

 <p>Apart from the traders’ sentiment, the overall community was engaged in discussions about the altcoin. Despite the decline in the coin’s value, Ethereum’s social influence, assessed through a seven-day moving average, surged to its peak since February. This surge indicated an increase in conversations revolving around the altcoin, a trend that typically precedes a rise in the asset’s value.</p>

 <p>The actions of these investors purchasing during a market downturn suggest that they are getting ready for a potential increase. Currently, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="ETH" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/eth.html">ETH</a> is being traded at $1,674, showing a daily gain of 1.83%. This movement can be linked to the factors mentioned earlier, along with the overall sentiment in the market.
