As the cryptocurrency market faces significant volatility in November 2025, Ethereum (ETH) and XRP are exhibiting unique price behavior compared to Bitcoin (BTC). While Bitcoin continues to drain liquidity from the broader market, popular analyst CryptoInsightUK believes ETH and XRP may not necessarily follow BTC’s lead this time. Ethereum Nears Critical Bottom, Eyes Resistance Zone …
The crypto market crash continues. Bitcoin, which spent most of 2025 steadily climbing toward the $100,000 mark, is now losing ground. Along with BTC, Ethereum, XRP, and other altcoins are also dropping gradually. Ethereum Price Drops Below 200-Day EMA Ethereum recently lost a major line of defense: the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA). This key …
However, one analyst said the bullish structure for the crypto market still stands despite the largely negative sentiment.
On-chain data shows signs of an altcoin winter may be emerging as Ethereum, Solana, and other cryptocurrencies have seen a decline in activity. Altcoins Are Observing A Drop In On-Chain Activity In a new thread on X, institutional DeFi solutions provider Sentora (formerly IntoTheBlock) has talked about how interest in altcoins has been cooling off recently. Related Reading: CryptoQuant Head Reveals Reason Behind Bearish Bitcoin Trend The on-chain indicator of relevance here is the “Active Addresses,” which measures, as its name suggests, the total number of addresses that are participating in some kind of transaction activity on a given network every day. When the value of this metric rises, it means more users are making transfers on the blockchain. Such a trend implies trading interest in the cryptocurrency may be on the rise. On the other hand, the indicator witnessing a decline suggests investors may be shifting their attention elsewhere as they are reducing their transaction activity on the network. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in this indicator for Ethereum, the largest of the altcoins, over the last few years: As displayed in the above graph, the Ethereum Active Addresses metric was at a high of 589,000 in late July. Since then, activity on the network has gone downhill, with there now being 488,000 addresses making transactions, around 17% lower than the peak. “Fewer users interacting on ETH indicates weaker on-chain demand, a pattern seen in past bear-market phases,” explained Sentora. Solana, another prominent altcoin, has been showing a similar trend. How the monthly value of the Active Addresses has changed for SOL over the last few years | Source: Sentora on X From the chart, it’s clear that the monthly version of the Active Addresses witnessed a notable decline for SOL during Q3 2025. More specifically, active users on the blockchain dropped by about 30% in this period. “Solana has been the out-performer this cycle, but momentum is cooling,” noted the analytics firm. Memecoins have been hit hard in the recent market downturn, and the same has held true for their on-chain activity. Dogecoin, the largest meme-based token, has only witnessed a slight decrease in Active Addresses, but Pepe has gone through a drawdown of 85%. “This drop shows how quickly speculative user bases can evaporate,” said Sentora. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Maps Out Dream Ethereum Scenario To $8,000 Finally, the analytics firm has also highlighted that DeFi trading volume has started to trend down as well. The metric is still relatively strong compared to other cryptocurrency-related indicators, but a change in direction is apparent. With the crash in prices and downturn in on-chain activity, is the altcoin sector entering a season of winter? “It’s too early to tell but the current data echoes past cycles,” noted Sentora. “We are already 6+ months into an altcoin slowdown, with winter signs popping up.” Ethereum Price Ethereum has plunged alongside the rest of the market during the past day as its price has retraced to $3,300.

Major ETH ETF Outflows Add Selling Pressure Over …
The cryptocurrency market has been struck by another wave of red candles, plunging 4.1% in the past 24 hours. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin have all suffered notable declines, with all large market-cap cryptocurrencies falling below support levels that held last week. The downturn gained momentum after claims surfaced on X suggesting that Wintermute, one of the industry’s largest market makers, was preparing to sue Binance over alleged issues linked to the October 10 crash. Rumors Of A Lawsuit Against Binance Add To Anxiety Market unease deepened after rumors circulated on X claiming that Wintermute, one of the industry’s leading market makers, was preparing to sue Binance over losses incurred during the October 10 crash. The speculation began when a user known as WhalePump Reborn claimed that Wintermute had lost hundreds of millions and was preparing legal action, describing the situation as “not going to be pretty.” Related Reading: XRP Price At $10,000-$50,000 Is Nonsense: Analyst Bashes Calls For Bitcoin-Like Prices This was followed by another detailed post from a popular X account known as StarPlatinum, which addressed rumors that Wintermute was pursuing legal action against Binance over what it called unfair ADL executions during the massive liquidation event in early October. As noted by the post, Binance’s system overload during the crash led to automatic deleveraging (ADL) at extreme price points, causing an estimated $19 billion to $20 billion in liquidations in just 24 hours, the largest single-day wipeout in crypto history. Notably, Wintermute’s portfolio across Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Solana fell by about $65 million following the crash, though no on-chain patterns indicated forced liquidations or large withdrawals. Binance, for its part, had acknowledged system overloads at the time but denied any preferential treatment or technical fault that could have led to any unfair losses. Wintermute Founder Refutes Claims Of Lawsuit As panic spread through the market, Wintermute’s founder, Evgeny Gaevoy, took to X to dispel the rumors entirely. Quoting an earlier post from October 11, Gaevoy reiterated that Wintermute had never planned to sue Binance and saw no reason to do so in the future. “We never had plans to sue Binance, nor see any reason to do it in future,” Gaevoy said on X. “I should probably ask to make a note of all the people spreading baseless rumors, but most of people believing these have goldfish memory capacity, so I wont,” he added. He also described the circulating claims as complete bullshit in a direct response to the WhalePump Reborn post. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts The ‘Unthinkable’ For XRP – Here’s What It Is The Wintermute rumors are part of various factors that are causing the price of cryptocurrencies to crash. Another factor could be the Fed Chair Jerome Powell hinting that the central bank may not pursue additional rate cuts anytime soon. Adding to the selling pressure were outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs. According to data from Farside Investors, Spot Bitcoin ETFs started November with outflows on Monday, bringing the trend to four consecutive days of outflows. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $104,502, down by 2.8% in the past 24 hours. Ethereum is trading at $3,490, down 6.0% in 24 hours. Dogecoin is trading at $0.1618, down 6.8% in 24 hours.

An analyst has charted out a “dream scenario” path that Ethereum could follow, based on a technical analysis (TA) pattern in its 3-day price. Parallel Channel Could Chart Out What’s Next For Ethereum In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about a dream trajectory that Ethereum could follow with respect to a Parallel Channel. The “Parallel Channel” here refers to a TA pattern that forms whenever an asset’s price trades between two parallel trendlines. Related Reading: Bitcoin At Key Retest: Bounce Or $98,000 Next? The upper line of the pattern is assumed to be a source of resistance, so tops can be likely to occur during retests of it. Similarly, the bottom level can provide support to the price, helping it to rebound. Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the Parallel Channel that the 3-day price of Ethereum has been trading inside for the last few years: As displayed in the above graph, Ethereum retested the upper level of the Parallel Channel earlier in the year, but found rejection at it. The asset has since slipped down and arrived near the line, sitting a distance equal to three-fourths the height of the channel from the lower line. The analyst has noted that a dream scenario could be for ETH to find a rebound around here and smash past the $4,900 level, corresponding to the upper boundary of the Parallel Channel. Generally, Parallel Channel breakouts signal a continuation of the trend in that direction. This means that a surge above a Parallel Channel’s resistance can be considered a bullish sign, while a fall under the support level may lead to bearish action. Parallel Channel breakouts can be of the same length as the height of the channel. As Martinez has highlighted in the chart, if ETH can break past the $4,900 mark, it may go all the way up to $8,000, corresponding to this length. For now, Ethereum is heading down, so it only remains to be seen whether its price will be able to find a rebound in the near future and retest the upper boundary of the Parallel Channel. Related Reading: Dogecoin Plunges To $0.18 As Whales Sell 440 Million DOGE ETH isn’t the only cryptocurrency that has been following a Parallel Channel in its 3-day chart. As the analyst has pointed out in another X post, Solana has also been trading inside the same type of channel on this timeframe. “Solana needs to reclaim $200 to confirm strength,” explained Martinez. “Only then a rebound to $260 comes into play.” ETH Price At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading around $3,700, down almost 11% over the last week.

Prominent market analyst Ted Pillows has highlighted the immediate key price levels in the Ethereum market using data on liquidity heatmap. This analysis follows a turbulent price display over the past week during which Ethereum prices fell by 1.64%. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Could Crash Below $3,400 After Rejection From 0.618 Fibonacci Level Ethereum Traders Brace For Potential Sweep Before Reversal In an X post on November 1, Pillows shares data from Coinglass on the Ethereum liquidity heatmap, identifying significant resting liquidity on both sides of the current price action. Notably, the upper band, which lies between $3,900 and $4,200, represents a heavy concentration of limit orders as many traders are positioning themselves for potential selling activity once ETH revisits this area. Therefore, this price range acts as a major resistance zone critical for market bulls to reclaim in any potential push for a sustained uptrend. On the downside, there is also a notable liquidity cluster around $3,750 acting as a potential magnet for price and a key support area in a price crash situation. Looking at this setup, Ted Pillows postulated that Ethereum could be setting up for a liquidity sweep, a common pattern where price dips into an area of high liquidity to trigger stop losses and fill bids before reversing upward. If this scenario plays out, a short-term move toward $3,750 could precede a sharp rebound, potentially targeting the $3,900–$4,200 resistance region once more. With present market prices around $3,800, Ethereum could be eyeing a potential short-term gain of 10% gain but not without an initial correction and significant levels of long and short liquidations.

According to data from CoinMarketCap, Ethereum prices fell by 13.34% in the past month as the broader crypto market struggled amid various macro influences. Despite this negative performance, blockchain analytics firm Sentora reports that ETH treasuries registered a net inflow of 550,000 ETH. Although this figure falls well below the 1.5 million ETH inflows observed in August, it remains significant, underscoring investors’ continued confidence in Ethereum’s long-term value proposition. At press time, Ethereum trades at $3,873, reflecting a minor 0.44% gain in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, the daily trading volume is down by 53.83% and valued at $17.57 billion.

A new trend is taking shape across the crypto market with investors pulling large amounts of Bitcoin and Ethereum from centralized exchanges. Data from on-chain analytics platform Sentora, formerly known as IntoTheBlock, shows that exchange balances for both leading cryptocurrencies have dropped notably over the past week. Prices are holding steady without much bullish momentum, but these massive withdrawals may hint at a subtle change in investor sentiment going into November. Related Reading: Dogecoin Flashback: Mirror Move Hints At Record-Breaking Surge Bitcoin And Ethereum Witness Billions Of Outflows From Exchanges According to data from Sentora, Bitcoin recorded more than $2 billion in outflows from centralized exchanges over the course of the week. This is interesting, as it is one of the largest weekly movements of Bitcoin from exchanges so far this quarter. Furthermore, this trend is interesting because it is coming off an unfavorable month for the crypto industry in general, considering the crash that happened in the middle of the month. The outflow numbers can be interpreted as a sign of confidence among whale addresses choosing long-term storage over trading. On-chain data from whale transaction tracker Lookonchain supports this trend, showing two newly created wallets withdrawing 2,000 BTC worth about $260 million from crypto exchange Binance toward the end of the week. Ethereum also witnessed a similar trend to Bitcoin. Data from Sentora shows that the leading altcoin saw major outflows during the week, coming to a total of about $600 million. Bitcoin and Ethereum Weekly Key Metrics. Source: Sentora What Could This Signal For Bitcoin And Ethereum? The massive exchange outflows are somewhat confusing, considering the fact that both Bitcoin and Ethereum ended October with negative monthly closes and broke the long-running Uptober trend that has shaped the crypto market for years. For six straight years, October had been one of Bitcoin’s most dependable bullish months that set the stage for strong year-end rallies. That streak has now ended with Bitcoin closing October 2025 about 4% below its monthly open, its first red October since 2018. Ethereum also followed a similar path and recorded a more notable monthly close of about 7.15% below its open. Data from Sentora, as shown above, points to reduced activity in these blockchains that suggests the required bullish activity may not be there yet. The total fees on the Bitcoin blockchain come out to be $2.03 million, an 8.6% reduction from the previous week. The Ethereum network also saw a 13.2% fall in fees, coming out to $5.05 million. Related Reading: Dogecoin Enters The Big Leagues — Stadium And Jerseys Get A Crypto Makeover Nonetheless, the outflows from exchanges are a bullish place to start. It eases selling pressure in the market, as fewer coins on exchanges mean fewer assets immediately available for sale. This, in turn, can tighten supply and gradually build a foundation for higher prices leading up to November. Whale traders might already be positioning themselves for the possibility of a bullish November. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
Crypto analyst Hal has revealed how investors can make up to $1 million by investing in Litecoin. This comes as another analyst has predicted that LTC could soon break out of its current consolidation phase to reach a four-figure price target. How Litecoin Can Turn A $3,700 Investment Into $1 Million In an X post, Hal stated that investors can make $1 million from about $3,700 if they bid the low $30 range on Litecoin and sell when the altcoin reaches $9,000. The analyst is confident that the LTC price can still drop to around this level, providing investors another opportunity to take this investment advice. Related Reading: Signal That Sparked 100% Litecoin Rally In 2017 Has Been Triggered Again He noted that Litecoin never saw the 5th wave down in the Wave C corrective move, which he claimed means the altcoin is still going to drop below $41. Hal’s accompanying chart also showed that LTC could still drop to as low as $30 before its next parabolic rally to the upside. The analyst remarked that the altcoin could fall below the projected $30 range, but that it looks unlikely. Meanwhile, Hal declared that Litecoin is the “clearest and most confident” 250x to 300x play he sees in the market. He added that he has been waiting a long time for this last drop to $30 and that it is coming soon. He urged investors not to miss it, seeing as he projects that they could make millions on their LTC investment. Hal’s prediction comes amid the launch of the first spot Litecoin ETF by Canary Capital. This is expected to attract institutional inflows into the LTC ecosystem, which could be a positive for the altcoin’s price. However, the LTC hasn’t had the best of starts and is currently lagging behind the Solana and Hedera ETFs, which also just launched, in terms of inflows. Why LTC Could Easily Record This Parabolic Rally Hal noted that Litecoin has one of the longest, oldest, and largest accumulation channels in existence among altcoins against its Bitcoin pair. He revealed that the LTC/BTC chart looks similar to the DOGE/BTC chart just before the Dogecoin price broke out and did a 663x in the 2021 bull cycle. This is why the analyst is confident that LTC’s price can record a 300x gain from the next low when it reaches the top of the next altcoin run.

Meanwhile, crypto analyst CoinsKid stated that Litecoin has been in consolidation mode since the 2018 cycle top. He added that compression leads to expansion, predicting that LTC can reach $4,000 if it breaks the upper resistance just above $200. CoinsKid noted how this would put LTC just shy of Ethereum’s market cap. At the time of writing, the Litecoin price is trading at around $96, up almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The recent Ethereum price rejection that pushed it back below the $4,000 level has created a concerning trend that could send the price spiraling. The major point of interest lies at the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level, where the last rejection occurred. Given this, it is likely that the Ethereum price could see more declines in the coming days, although there is still the possibility of the bulls taking over and invalidating the entire bearish setup. Ethereum Price Is Showing A Lot Of Weakness The rejection from the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level marked the start of the decline from the $4,200 level during the last recovery. This rejection resulted in the formation of a lower high on the 4-hour timeframe, and historically, such lower high formations mean that there is more selling pressure piling up for the digital asset. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Breakdown Is Nothing To Worry About? This Long Term Structure Points Above $1 As the bullish momentum looks to be fading, it puts the Ethereum price in a precarious position. Crypto analyst The Alchemist Trader explains that the rejection had come with increased bearish volume as investors offloaded their holdings on the market, putting bears in charge once again. Following this development, the Ethereum price has continued to struggle around $3,900, where the next local support lies. The cryptocurrency has maintained a tentative hold at best on this local support, suggesting that the bulls could indeed be losing ground at this level. If this corrective phase continues, then the Ethereum price decline is far from over. The current local weakness has put a strain on the support, and if $3,900 fails completely, the next major support lies below $3,400, more specifically at $3,385. This will serve as the next stronghold for the bulls to make their move. “From a structural perspective, Ethereum’s inability to sustain momentum signals growing bearish pressure across lower timeframes,” the crypto analyst explained. The Case For ETH Bulls Despite the mounting bearish pressure, there is still the possibility that the Ethereum price could break out of this downtrend. Just like with the bearish case, the key lies at the $3,900 support and how well it holds. Related Reading: Wave 3 Target Suggests That The XRP Price Is Headed For $10 In the case that bulls are able to reclaim and hold this support with momentum, then it could invalidate the bearish setup that has emerged. In this case, the crypto analyst believes that the Ethereum price could resume its uptrend above the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
Ethereum (ETH) remains under pressure, trading below the $4,000 mark as bulls attempt to reclaim control following weeks of post-crash uncertainty. The sharp sell-off on October 10 not only flushed leveraged positions across the market but also disrupted the uptrend ETH had been building throughout the summer. Since then, price action has weakened, and momentum has shifted toward the downside, raising concerns among analysts that a deeper correction could unfold if buyers fail to defend key demand levels in the days ahead. Related Reading: $780M Worth of Ethereum Pulled From Exchanges – Biggest Withdrawal Spike in Weeks Despite these technical challenges, on-chain and institutional flow data tell a different story beneath the surface. Large-scale investors — including funds, corporate entities, and crypto-native institutions — continue to accumulate ETH during the pullback. The divergence between price weakness and institutional accumulation creates a pivotal setup for Ethereum. If ETH can stabilize and reclaim the $4,000 threshold, it may re-ignite bullish momentum. But failure to hold support could open the door to further downside before a sustainable recovery emerges. Bitmine Adds ETH as Institutional Accumulation Climbs According to data tracked by Lookonchain, institutional player Bitmine has continued its aggressive accumulation strategy. Purchasing 44,036 ETH — worth approximately $166 million — during the recent market pullback. This purchase lifts Bitmine’s total holdings to roughly 3.16 million ETH, valued at around $12.15 billion, reinforcing the company’s position as one of the largest Ethereum holders globally. Such sizeable buying activity during periods of price weakness highlights a notable divergence between institutional behavior and short-term market sentiment. While retail traders and leveraged participants may be shaken by Ethereum’s inability to reclaim the $4,000 level, long-horizon buyers appear unfazed. For them, price dips represent accumulating opportunities rather than reasons for concern. This duality is becoming increasingly evident across the market: spot inflows, exchange outflows, and whale accumulation metrics all point to growing long-term conviction, even as the chart reflects hesitation and downward pressure. This divergence underscores a familiar pattern in crypto market structure. Price action often lags underlying fundamentals, particularly during transitional phases where macro catalysts and liquidity shifts are still being digested. Ethereum remains structurally supported by rising institutional participation, increasing staking demand, and expanding Layer-2 ecosystems — all of which strengthen its long-term investment thesis.

The daily chart shows ETH breaking below both the 50-day (blue) and 100-day (green) moving averages, signaling weakening momentum and a shift toward a more defensive market posture. This breakdown places increased pressure on bulls to defend the $3,800 region — a level that has repeatedly acted as a pivot point over the past two months. If ETH loses this support, the next meaningful demand zone lies near $3,500, followed by the 200-day moving average around $3,200, which would serve as a deeper structural retest within the longer-term uptrend. For now, however, ETH remains above its long-term trend line, meaning the broader bullish structure is intact despite short-term weakness.

Until that happens, price action favors consolidation and caution. With macro shifts underway and institutional accumulation rising, Ethereum’s chart suggests a wait-and-see phase, where holding support becomes crucial before any renewed upside attempt.

Ethereum is once again testing the strength of its key support band around the $3,700 zone, a level that has acted as a crucial lifeline for bulls in recent months. With momentum fading after repeated rejections near resistance, speculations are whether buyers can step in to spark a renewed push upward or if a deeper correction is on the horizon. ETH Pulls Back After Golden Pocket Rejection In his latest market update, Luca shared insights on Ethereum’s current technical setup, noting that the asset recently faced rejection at the high-timeframe resistance zone he had highlighted in earlier analyses. This rejection aligns with the golden pocket between the 0.5 and 0.618 Fibonacci points of interest (POIs). Following this rejection, Ethereum’s price has retreated into the broader accumulation range marked in green on his chart.

It also coincides with the Weekly Bull Market Support Band, reinforcing its importance as a potential turning point in Ethereum’s next major move. Despite this, the analyst cautioned that the current market structure appears vulnerable to a breakdown. Luca emphasized that while he remains optimistic about Ethereum’s long-term potential, if the breakdown is confirmed, he plans to stay objective by hedging part of his spot holdings. Doing so, he believes, would help reduce exposure to downside volatility while keeping capital ready to re-enter the market once a more sustainable bullish reversal emerges. Luca concluded by reiterating his adaptive trading strategy, a balance between flexibility and discipline. By maintaining moderate cash positions and exposure to defensive assets, he ensures the ability to act quickly when clear opportunities arise while safeguarding capital during volatile market phases. Ethereum Holds The Mid-Range Support Zone Between $3,600–$3,700 According to GrayWolf6, Ethereum is currently trading within a defined range between $3,900 and $3,100, with the price recently touching the mid-range support area around $3,600–$3,700. He noted that the Stochastic RSI is flashing a bullish signal, hinting at the potential for a short-term rebound from this zone as buyers begin to regain momentum.

Should the price reclaim strength, the next upside target could extend to around $5,200. Despite this optimistic outlook, the analyst cautioned that Ethereum remains confined within the lower range, keeping the downside risk near $3,100 in play. He mentioned taking profits on his earlier short position and is now watching closely for signs of a bounce from this intermediate support level. For him, the strategy remains steady, risk-managed, positions hedged, and the next move is patiently waiting. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
