As the market reacts to the latest crypto legislation, Ethereum (ETH) is flashing warning signs after a fresh technical sell signal emerged for the first time in months and a spike in on‑chain realized profits. Related Reading: DEF Warns ‘Anti‑DeFi’ Amendments To CLARITY Act Could Threaten Users, Developer Protections Ethereum Risks New Leg Down After Key Sell Signal On Thursday, Ethereum jumped 3.5 % intraday before hitting its three-day $2,320 resistance area. The move follows the advancement of the crypto market structure bill, known as the CLARITY Act, to a full Senate vote after a 15-9 bipartisan vote during the Senate Banking Committee’s long-awaited markup session. The King of altcoins has been moving sideways between $2,200 and $2,400 over the past month, which some have called a “no-trade zone.” While many analysts suggest that a breakout above the upper boundary is coming, analyst Ali Martinez has warned that Ethereum may be close to a major correction. In an X post, the market observer highlighted that a new sell signal has emerged on ETH’s weekly chart for the first time in nine months. He explained that the TD Sequential indicator has been highly precise in anticipating the altcoin’s trends since April 2025, with every signal on the weekly timeframe validated by significant price action over the past year. In mid-April and mid-June 2025, the key indicator flashed two buy signals, resulting in multi-week rallies of 87% and 134%, respectively. Meanwhile, it flashed a sell signal in late August 2025, which accurately timed a 63% correction from its all-time high (ATH) levels toward the February lows. Now, the latest weekly signal “suggests Ethereum is entering another corrective phase,” which could push the price to new local lows. If selling pressure accelerates, Martinez shared an initial target of $1,900, followed by potential mid- and long-term targets of $1,565 and $1,090. Time To Turn Cautious Or Bearish? Blockchain analytics firm Santiment highlighted that Ethereum realized profits rose to $74.58 million, its highest level in three weeks, even as the price fell 5.5% over the past three days. It noted that although this setup may seem “counterintuitive” given the recent pullback, it does not necessarily mean investors should turn completely bearish. As the firm explained, holders with a much lower cost basis are the ones taking profit during the mid-May dip. These traders accumulated back in February and March when Ethereum was below $2,000 amid market uncertainty and geopolitical risks. As a result, those who purchased during that period are still in profit despite the recent decline and may “have decided to sell while they feel they still have the opportunity to enjoy a profit.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Rally At Risk: This Critical Resistance Could End BTC’s Bullish Run Meanwhile, on-chain activity volume increased, with 4-hour candles showing notable price compression around the $2,241 level. Santiment emphasized that more transactions generate more Profit and Loss (P&L) realization events and that even modest individual profits elevate network-level total volumes. Based on the current Ethereum trader behavior, the firm told investors they do not necessarily need to turn bearish, but should instead “lean cautious” while waiting for clearer signals. “Watch for deeper realized losses as a potential bottoming signal, and don’t position aggressively until the distribution phase shows clear signs of ending,” it concluded.

On-chain data shows investor realized profits on the Ethereum network have hit their highest level in three weeks alongside the dip in the ETH price. Ethereum Realized Profit/Loss Shot Up Recently According to data from on-chain analytics firm Santiment, the Ethereum Network Realized Profit/Loss has observed a spike recently. This indicator tells us, as its name suggests, the net amount of profit or loss that ETH investors as a whole are realizing through their transactions. Related Reading: Bitcoin Falls Below $80,000: Coinbase Sellers To Blame? The metric works by going through the transfer history of each token being sold on the blockchain to determine the price at which it was moved prior to this. If the previous transaction value was less than the latest selling price for any coin, then the token’s sale is considered to be leading to the realization of some net profit. Similarly, the opposite arrangement points to loss-taking. The exact degree of profit or loss involved in each case is equal to the difference between the two prices. The Network Realized Profit/Loss sums up this profit and loss for all transactions occurring on the network and determines their net value. Now, here is the chart shared by Santiment that shows the trend in the indicator for Ethereum over the past month: As displayed in the above graph, the Ethereum Network Realized Profit/Loss has mostly had a value lower than zero inside this window, a potential sign that investors selling on the blockchain has generally been of the loss-taking kind. There have been a few profit-taking spikes, however, with one such coming just recently. From the chart, it’s visible that investors took $74.58 million in profit alongside this surge. Interestingly, the distribution didn’t align with the local high from earlier in the week. Instead, it came after the cryptocurrency had already dipped. This means that some investors who were sitting on profits panicked by the price drawdown and just decided to exit with some gains. These holders could be the buyers from the February-March depressed market phase, when Ethereum was trading below $2,000. As the analytics firm explained: Wallets that accumulated during those months are still in profit even with this mid-May decline, and many have decided to sell while they feel they still have the opportunity to enjoy a profit. Related Reading: Dogecoin TD Sequential Flashes Sell Signal: Price Correction Ahead? Since the profit realization has occurred, Ethereum has witnessed a further dip, a potential sign that this distribution may have been a contributor. It now remains to be seen whether the Network Realized Profit/Loss will stay positive in the coming days or if loss-taking will follow next. ETH Price At the time of writing, Ethereum is floating around $2,250, down 2.6% in the last seven days. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView.com
