Ethereum (ETH) continues to experience pullback in its price as it recently tested the $4,000 resistance level<\/a>, a key psychological price mark for the cryptocurrency. Amid this correction, bearish tendencies among investors on Binance have surfaced.<\/p>\n

A recent analysis<\/a> by CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost highlights a significant trend where Binance\u2019s taker buy-sell ratio for Ethereum turned \u201csharply negative\u201d at the $4,000 mark. This suggests that traders on the exchange have predominantly adopted a selling stance.<\/p>\n

Ethereum Tug of War<\/h2>\n

According to Darkfost, the bearish sentiment<\/a> on Binance has persisted since the start of November, coinciding with Ethereum\u2019s approach to this critical resistance level.<\/p>\n

The analyst pointed out that while this bearish sentiment could typically signal a potential reversal, Ethereum\u2019s price movement has defied seeing high bearish inclination, driven by other influential factors.<\/p>\n

Notably, demand for Ethereum Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) has surged, showcasing a growing institutional interest that continues to support Ethereum\u2019s price action.<\/p>\n

The surge in demand for Ethereum ETFs signals a shift in market stance where institutional players increasingly influence price movements<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Institutional interest, evidenced by consistent inflows into Ethereum-focused investment products seems to have been pivotal in offsetting the selling pressure observed among retail traders on Binance.<\/p>\n

ETH Market Performance And Outlook<\/h2>\n

So far, Ethereum has seen a significant correction in its price decreasing to as low as $3,616 as of today. At the time of writing, the asset currently trades at a price of $3,621 down by nearly 6% in the past day.<\/p>\n

Notably, this price performance has unsurprisingly dropped the asset\u2019s market cap by over $40 billion, falling from over $490 billion seen last week Friday to $434 billion today.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, despite this price decrease, Ethereum\u2019s daily trading volume has seen an opposite trend rising from below $60 billion on December 6 to now at $72 billion. Given the current market condition, it is likely that the increase in ETH\u2019s volume is coming from sell-offs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to data<\/a> from Coinglass, in the past 24 hours , 526,828 traders were liquidated with the total liquidations coming in at $1.58 billion. Out of this total liquidations, ETH accounts for roughly $234.72 million.<\/p>\n

Long liquidations dominates reaching $208.83 million. Short traders also had their share losses registering $25.89 million worth of ETH liquidations.<\/p>\n

Regardless of this, analysts are still optimistic<\/a> about Ethereum, suggesting that the current price dip is quite \u201chealthy\u201d for ETH\u2019s market.<\/p>\n
