The approval of Ethereum ETFs has led to a notable increase in selling pressure in the cryptocurrency market. This response aligns with patterns observed in past financial product launches within the sector. 
 Following the regulatory approval, Ethereum’s price showed a clear decline, signaling a typical “sell the news” reaction where initial enthusiasm transitions into strategic sell-offs.

Ethereum was trading at $3,177 shortly after the ETFs were approved, reflecting a decrease of more than 10% since the approval. Before this decline, Ethereum had enjoyed a 21% increase from its July lows, peaking just 15 days before the <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/ethereum-etfs-exceed-expectations-trading-volume-hits-1-billion-market-reacts/">ETF approvals</a>. 
This increase suggests that the market had initially responded positively to the prospect of ETFs.

Market indicators such as the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) show that the bullish momentum is weakening, with a potential shift to negative territory. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates that further declines could occur, as it has not yet reached oversold conditions.&nbsp;

Large-scale investors, often referred to as “whales,” have played a significant role during this period.

According to data from Lookonchain, <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/grayscale-prepares-for-ethereum-etf-launch-with-massive-transfers/">Grayscale</a> moved 140,044 ETH to Coinbase Prime, valued at nearly $500 million. This transfer is indicative of whales using the new ETF liquidity to adjust their holdings, contributing to the selling pressure.
