Glassnode Alert’s tweet revealed that Ethereum’s exchange outflow recently reached a 1-month low. The metric clearly revealed that investors were not buying the token. This was further proven by CryptoQuant’s data, which pointed out that ETH’s exchange reserve was increasing, meaning that it was under selling pressure.

As per Santiment’s chart, Ethereum’s MVRV Ratio and velocity both plummeted last week, which were bearish signals. However, the supply held by top addresses registered a slight uptick in the same period.
