The main dishes to remember:
-
The metrics of Ethereum onchain contrast with the feeling of moderate derivatives, suggesting that traders remain cautiously positioned.
-
Stablecoin flows and optional data indicate only moderate fear, supporting the potential of the ETH to resume the bullish momentum.
Ether (ETH) fell 5.2% on Friday after investors digested lower data on the American labor market. The decline occurred next to a reversal of shares, causing $ 90 million in liquidation of Hausses Ethsales with leverage. The correction raises the question of whether the ether is intended to retest the $ 4,000 mark, or is the movement simply the reflection of a broader macroeconomic uncertainty?
The monthly ETH future markets against cash markets have dropped at its lowest point in two months, sliding below the neutral threshold of 5%. This level expresses little interest in the bull-in-way positioning, but is more likely to be linked to four consecutive days of net outputs from ETHEREUMS listed in the United States, totaling $ 505 million. In other words, the feeling of traders can be more back than a real lower forecast.
However, it would be premature to argue that the ETH should collapse below $ 4,300 only on the weakness of the derivatives. ONCHAIN D’ETHEREUM’s activity continues to show resilience. Since the main role of ETH is to pay data processing on the Ethereum network, the increase in activity is generally translated into a healthier price dynamic.
The number of transactions on the Ethereum network jumped 32% in last month. In comparison, Solana experienced a sharp decline, while the BNB chain managed only an increase of 5%. Even more notable, the active addresses of Ethereum increased by 7% during the same period, while the solara user base decreased 20% and the BNB chain underwent a high contraction of 42%.
The total value of locked Ethereum (TVL) has climbed $ 97.4 billion, an increase of 12% in 30 days. The out -of -competition gains came from pendle, up 37%, Morpho with an increase of 36%and Ethena increased 32%. The domination of Ethereum remains unshakable at 60% of all TVLs, or 67% when the ecosystem of layer 2. The basic network now only treats 25% less transactions than the BNB chain.
ETH’s options are bizarre in prudence while traders resist it to become bull
To assess whether the lack of bullish feeling in ethn derivatives is limited to future, it is useful to analyze the bias options. A heavy bonus on put options (sale) generally signals the fear of decline, pushing the bias above the neutral threshold of 6%.
Currently at 4%, ETH Delta Skew’s options show no sign of high fear, in accordance with last week. Interestingly, the request for call options (purchase) has not increased even when ETH reached its top of all time on August 24.

The activity of the stablescoin in China also offers an overview of the question of whether risk aversion extends beyond ether. Strong crypto entries generally lead to stablescoins to negotiate at a premium of 2% compared to the official rate of the US dollar. Conversely, a discount greater than 0.5% often indicates fear, because traders leave the cryptographic markets.
The USDT de Tether (USDT) is currently negotiated at a 0.5% discount in China compared to the official USD / CNY rate, signaling moderate sales pressure. Consequently, Ether’s price action seems to be linked to uncertainty about global economic growth, especially after US unemployment reached 4.3% in August.
Despite these opposite winds, the ETH remains well positioned to take up the bullish momentum, supported by a robust onchain activity and balanced conditions on the options market.
