The drop extends a slide that began when ETH was rejected near $2,800 in early October, and it has now pushed the second-largest cryptocurrency below both its 50-week and 200-week exponential moving averages. The weekly chart looks weaker than at any point since the summer. On-chain data from CryptoQuant points the other way: holders have kept adding ETH to staking throughout the decline, so the chart and the behaviour of long-term holders are telling two different stories.<\/p>\n<h2>The summer golden cross has already unwound<\/h2>\n<p>An exponential moving average (EMA) tracks the average price over a set period and gives more weight to recent weeks. In August, the 50-week EMA climbed above the 200-week EMA, a crossover traders call a golden cross and usually read as a sign that medium-term momentum is improving. ETH did push higher into September, but the move ran out of steam well before it could turn into a sustained trend.<\/p>\n<p>The order has now flipped back. The 50-week EMA sits at $2,386.96 and the 200-week EMA at $2,452.94, which means the average price of the past year is once again lower than the longer multi-year average. ETH trades roughly 13% below the first line and almost 16% below the second, so even a sharp rebound would run into both of them before it could repair the structure.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1304632\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1304632\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1304632 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/eth-usdt-tradingview-10-11-2026.jpg\" alt=\"Ethereum weekly chart with Fibonacci levels, EMAs and RSI.\" width=\"1280\" height=\"740\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1304632\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ETH\/USDT weekly technical analysis by Alexander Stefanov.

Getting it back means joining an exit queue, which can take anywhere from days to weeks depending on how many others are leaving at the same time. That friction is why a rising staked balance is read as a sign of long-term commitment: fewer coins sit in a position where they can be sold the moment the price drops.<\/p>\n<p>Locking supply away does not create buying demand, though. The price is set by traders on spot exchanges and derivatives venues, and a falling market there can easily outweigh slow, steady staking inflows. Liquid staking tokens add another wrinkle, because holders can sell or borrow against their staked position without ever leaving the queue, so part of the 44.5 million ETH is less locked than the headline figure suggests.<\/p>\n<h2>Sunday&#8217;s weekly close decides the breakdown<\/h2>\n<p>The current weekly candle, which opened at $2,127.46, still has several days to run, and neither the move below the moving averages nor the RSI reading is confirmed until it closes. A weekly close back above $2,325 would be the first sign that sellers are losing control, and a close above $2,453 would restore the bullish order of the moving averages and bring $2,828 back into view. A close below $1,918 would shift attention to the June low.<\/p>\n<p>For stakers, the number to watch is the exit queue. As long as the staked balance keeps growing, the selling is coming from somewhere other than long-term holders. If the queue starts to lengthen while the price is still falling, the one supportive factor in the current data would disappear.<\/p>\n<p>The 200-week EMA, the slowest trend gauge on the chart, has also gone flat since the spring after rising steadily through 2025. That shift predates this month&#8217;s sell-off, and it means the long-term average is no longer pulling upward beneath the price. Any recovery from here would have to build on its own momentum, without help from a rising baseline.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum has fallen back below both of its long-term weekly moving averages.
