 <p class="paragraph">The dominant sentiment over the crypto market continues to be fear, and Ethereum (ETH) has been highly affected by it, with capitulation signals in the Ethereum Network amid a massive loss of net capital to the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Notably, this is just another signal of a massive capitulation event taking place among ETH investors. In the last few days, other signals were also observed, such as the ‘historic anomaly’ of Daily Active Addresses (DAA) peak to an 8-year high of over one million DAA in a single day.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">More data from Glassnode also shows that Ethereum is reaching monthly lows in the number of addresses receiving ether from centralized exchanges, meaning investors are not withdrawing as much as before, which could also indicate fewer people buying ETH.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">In this context, general sentiment from different fear and greed indexes all point towards a bearish sentiment of fear to cryptocurrencies. However, an old mantra from trading analysts suggests that these are usually the best times to start building and holding positions for the long term.</p>
