Crypto Industry News:
ETH's inflows to exchanges fell 53% in less than a week, which could set an alarm for DeFi traders. Influence into exchanges fell from $ 3.15 million on September 21 to $ 1.48 million at the time of writing. While the decline in ETH sustained on the exchanges can be viewed as a bearish signal, the price has dropped less than 5% in the past 30 days.
The Ethereum network has also been a place of great activity lately. In fact, the same can be attributed to DeFi traders' active market share. While this increases coverage and creates high online demand, it underscores the fact that Ethereum's liquidity is critical to DeFi.
The decline in ETH liquidity could have a direct impact on ETH miners and traders investing in DeFi projects. Before DeFi surged, unrealized gains were driven by ETH's price action. However, when the charges on the ETH network hit the new ATH along with the increased activity of DeFi. While the impact of the decline in ETH liquidity is not yet visible on the spot exchanges, the same is visible on the derivatives exchanges.
Technical Market Outlook:
After the ETH/USD pair had made a Shooting Star candlestick pattern at the level of $367.58, the market has reversed and fell out of the ascending channel around the level of $355. The local low was made at the level of $350.14, but the target for bears is seen at the level of $345.40. The price is now consolidating in a narrow horizontal range, so if the level of $345.40 is clearly violated, then the next technical support is seen at the level of $332.38. The momentum had reversed as well and now is on the neutral level, pointing south.
