Ethereum is flashing serious warning signs. The second-largest cryptocurrency is now trading below its Realized Price, a key on-chain metric indicating that the average holder is sitting on paper losses. This psychological threshold often triggers further selling.
Adding to the pressure, exchanges have seen massive inflows of 445,000 ETH worth approximately $887 million suggesting holders are moving coins to sell. If Ethereum loses its current support at $1,866, analysts warn of a potential 30% drop toward $1,385.
For young traders, this is the raw reality of bear markets. The headlines are scary. The charts are ugly. But this is precisely where long-term views are built.
The question isn’t whether Ethereum survives or whether you can separate temporary price pain from fundamental value. The same network processing billions in transactions daily is the same one trading at a discount. History suggests those who buy when others are panicking into exchanges tend to be the ones selling when the cycle turns.
