On-chain data shows that Ethereum traders are capitulating following the slowdown of the rally, something that may turn out to be positive.<\/p>\n
According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment<\/a>, ETH investors are getting increasingly frustrated as they are now participating in significant loss-taking.<\/p>\n The relevant indicator here is the “ratio of daily on-chain transaction volume in profit to loss<\/a>,” which, as its name already implies, compares the profit-taking volume to the loss-taking volume for any given cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n This metric works by going through the on-chain history of each coin being sold\/transferred to see the price at which it was previously moved. If this last selling price for any coin was less than the current spot price, then that particular token is now being sold at a profit.<\/p>\n Naturally, the sale of this coin would count under the profit-taking volume. Similarly, the opposite type of coins would contribute towards the loss-taking volume.<\/p>\n Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in this ratio for some of the top assets in the cryptocurrency sector over the past few months:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When the value of this metric is positive, it means that the profit-taking volume outweighs the loss-taking volume right now. On the other hand, negative values suggest the dominance of loss-taking in the market.<\/p>\n From the chart, it’s visible that many of these top assets have seen negative values of the indicator recently as the rally that began following the Grayscale news<\/a> has slowed down.<\/p>\nLooks like the value of the metric has been negative for most of these coins in recent days | Source: Santiment on X<\/a><\/pre>\n
