The crypto market has been plagued with increased volatility lately, with the second largest crypto token by market cap, Ethereum (ETH), not exempt. This has made it harder to determine Ethereum\u2019s future trajectory. However, certain metrics indicate what direction ETH\u2019s price could head in when this volatility subsides.\u00a0 Ethereum Investors Are Bullish Data from Coinglass shows that most Ethereum investors and traders are still bullish on the crypto token despite recent fluctuating prices. Specifically, most of these traders have continued to open long positions on Ethereum, meaning they are betting on it experiencing significant moves to the upside in the long run.\u00a0 Related Reading: Battle For The Halving Block: Bitcoin Users Spend Record $2.4 Million On Block 840,000 The bullish sentiment towards Ethereum is highlighted by a trader who, having lost $4.5 million while longing ETH, still opened another long position on the second-largest crypto token. This crypto whale went as far as borrowing 17.3 million USDT from Compound just to increase their position on Ethereum.\u00a0 These investors\u2019 bullishness on Ethereum is even more commendable, considering that the bulls have suffered the most from ETH\u2019s high volatility. Data from Coinglass shows that over $16 million in long positions have been liquidated in the last 24 hours, compared to the $10 million short positions that have liquidated during this period.\u00a0 Meanwhile, data from the market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock shows that Ethereum\u2019s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio has dropped, indicating that many Ethereum holders are not yet in profit. This could be bullish for ETH\u2019s price as these holders will likely hold in anticipation of further upward price action, thereby providing support against any potential price declines.\u00a0 Making A Case For The Bears While the activity in the derivates market and Ethereum\u2019s MVRV ratio paint a bullish outlook for the crypto token, Ethereum\u2019s network growth suggests that ETH could still experience further price declines. Data from Santiment shows that the rate at which new users enter the Ethereum ecosystem has slowed recently.\u00a0 Related Reading: Were Bitcoin Miners Behind The BTC Price Crash Below $60,000? This declining network growth is also evident in a recent Bitcoinist report, which noted that Ethereum fees have dropped to their lowest since January. Ethereum fees are known to skyrocket when there is increased activity on the network. Therefore, low fees mean fewer new users are currently transacting on the network or even holding the ETH token at all.\u00a0 However, the silver lining is that data from Santiment also shows an increase in velocity, which suggests that existing users on the network are actively trading and injecting more liquidity into the Ethereum ecosystem. This factor could also contribute to potential price surges for the ETH token.\u00a0 At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at around $3,200, which is up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.\u00a0 ETH bears pull price below $3,200 | Source: ETHUSD on Tradingview.com Featured image from Token Information, chart from Tradingview.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":594,"featured_media":604491,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13625],"tags":[8323,89213,16163,1946,7931,6931,8686,78803],"class_list":["post-604450","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ethereum","tag-eth","tag-eth-news","tag-eth-price","tag-ethereum","tag-ethereum-news","tag-ethereum-price","tag-ethusd","tag-ethusdt"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
