Ethereum price continued its strong downward trend against the US dollar and Bitcoin as its linear weekly futures moved into backwardation.
以太坊 (ETH) 兑比特币 (BTC) 跌至 0.023,为 2020 年 5 月以来的最低水平,比大流行期间的最高水平低 74%。
同样,该代币跌至 1,770 美元的低点,为 2023 年 10 月以来的最低点,较去年 12 月的最高水平下跌了 57%。
以太坊价格持续暴跌归因于多种因素,例如持续的 ETF 资金流出,来自第 1 层和第 2 层网络的竞争加剧,而且它不再是加密行业中最赚钱的参与者。
Analysts at Kraken have also identified another reason by looking at the futures market. In a note to crypto.news, Alexia Theodorou, the head of derivatives, said in a statement to crypto.news that ETH weekly linear futures had entered backwardation for the first time since August last year. Bitcoin futures, on the other hand, have remained in contango in this period. The statement said:
âEtherâs linear weekly futures have entered backwardation for the first time since last August, reflecting growing bearish sentiment in the market and following a sharp 20% decline in the ETH price. Bitcoinâs futures remain in contango, suggesting relative strength in BTC amid broader market uncertainty.â
Linear weekly futures are those contracts that settle weekly and pay out in a straightforward way based on prices. By moving into backwardation, it means that the futures price has become lower than the spot price, which is a sign that the market expects the price to drop further.
另一方面,正价差与现货溢价相反,是指期货价格高于当前水平的情况。这是市场预期未来比特币相对走强的迹象。
周线图显示,ETH/BTC 价格在过去几年中一直处于自由落体状态。它仍低于所有移动平均线,这表明空头占据了主导地位。它现在正接近关键支撑位 0.02350 美元,这是 12 月 20 日的最低波动。
The Average Directional Index, a popular indicator that measures a trendâs strength, has moved to 38. A move above 25 is a sign that the trend is strengthening.Â
The Relative Strength Index and the Stochastic Oscillator have moved to the oversold level. Therefore, the token will likely continue falling as sellers target the next point at $0.0173, the lowest swing in December 2019.
