Yuga exec warns about ‘true bear market’ Ether price as whales scramble - Yuga Labs’ vice president of blockchain has warned that Ether could drop as low as $200 in a prolonged bear market, a 90% decline from its current price.In a March 11 post on X, the executive, known as “Quit,” pushed back against analysts who suggest $1,500 as a possible bottom for Ether (ETH). Instead, Quit argued that a true bear market could see ETH fall significantly lower, similar to previous market cycles.“A true bear market target, if we’re just getting started, would be ~$200-$400. That’s an 80% drawdown from here, 90% total drawdown -- in line with past bear markets.”The executive said he’s in a “comfortable” position if things go south. Quit told followers to consider selling their stash if they’re uncomfortable with the asset going down. Source: QuitETH holders discuss potential price trajectoryQuit’s post triggered mixed reactions from the crypto community. Some investors agreed that ETH could drop further, while others said such a scenario would require a major systemic collapse similar to 2018.One X user said they set $1,800 as the bottom. However, when the price reached $1,800, they contemplated whether it could go to $1,200. The ETH holder agreed with Quit’s prediction and said, “It could very well go lower” if Bitcoin (BTC) goes to $66,000.Meanwhile, another X user disagreed with the prediction, saying it would only be possible if there were a systemic collapse similar to 2018. The ETH investor said that, unlike previous cycles, Ether has been adopted by institutions and has a maturing ecosystem. “Positioning for both scenarios is what every smart investor should done, but being too bearish at the wrong time can cost just as much as being overly bullish,” they wrote.Related: 4 things must happen before Ethereum can reclaim $2,600ETH whales scramble against liquidation threatQuit’s sentiments came as ETH whales scrambled to avoid liquidation as Ether prices collapsed. On March 11, CoinGecko data showed that ETH prices went to a low of $1,791 on a 22% decline in the past 7 days. Because of the sharp price changes, ETH whales moved millions of dollars in ETH to protect their positions against potential liquidation. Blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain flagged an ETH whale dumping $47.8 million and losing $32 million to avoid being liquidated. The whale still has over $64 million at the lending protocol Aave with a liquidation price of $1,316. Another ETH investor who had already used over $5 million in assets to lower the liquidation price to $1,836 started to be liquidated. Lookonchain said the whale’s $121 million balance is being liquidated as the price dropped below $1,800. A whale account suspected of being linked to the Ethereum Foundation also used $56 million in ETH to avoid liquidation amid the price drop. The address deposited over 30,000 ETH to the Sky vault, bringing its liquidation price to $1.127.14. The account was later determined to be unrelated to the foundation.

Ethereum falling knife warning: Is another 30% crash versus Bitcoin coming? - Ethereum’s native token, Ether (ETH), has dropped to its multi-year lows against Bitcoin (BTC), prompting analysts to predict further declines in the coming weeks.Falling knife warning furthers sell-off risks On March 13, ETH/BTC—a pair that tracks Ether’s strength against Bitcoin—dropped by over 1.50% to reach $0.022, its lowest level since May 2020.ETH’s descent is part of its multi-year downtrend that started when it established a record high of $0.156 in June 2017. Since then, it has plunged by more than 85%, underscoring Ether’s growing weakness against Bitcoin.Meanwhile, on the two-week ETH/BTC chart, the relative strength index (RSI), a momentum indicator used to measure whether an asset is overbought or oversold, has fallen to a record low of 23.32.ETH/BTC two-week price chart. Source: TradingViewTypically, when RSI drops below 30, it signals oversold conditions, potentially leading to a price rebound. However, in Ethereum’s case, RSI has continued to plunge even lower even two months after becoming oversold, suggesting that ETH’s downtrend is still accelerating rather than stabilizing.Crypto analyst Alessandro Ottaviani has described the situation as a “falling knife” scenario—a term used to describe an asset that is experiencing a rapid and steep decline, often discouraging buyers from stepping in too soon. A falling knife implies that attempting to catch the asset at a perceived low could lead to further losses if the downtrend persists.For Ethereum to signal a potential reversal, traders will be watching for RSI stabilization and reclaim of key resistance levels. That ideally begins with a rebound from the 0.022 BTC level, which had limited ETH/BTC’s downside attempts in December 2020, leading to a 300% rally.ETH/BTC weekly price chart. Source: TradingViewShould a rebound happen, the ETH/BTC pair can rally toward its 0.382 Fibonacci retracement line at around 0.038 BTC, aligning with the 50-week exponential moving average (50-week EMA; the red wave).Until then, the technical outlook suggests that ETH/BTC could remain trapped in its falling knife trajectory, with the next potential downside targets at historical support levels inside the 0.020-0.016 BTC range.ETH/BTC two-week price chart. Source: TradingViewThe lowest point of this range is approximately 30% below the current price levels.ETH/BTC fundamentals support a bearish outlookEther’s prospects of declining further against Bitcoin are rooted in factors beyond technical analysis. For instance, Ethereum currently faces strong competition from rival layer-1 blockchains, namely Solana (SOL). Related: The worst thing that happened to Ethereum — Bitcoin up 160% since the MergeVanEck noted that Solana’s decentralized exchange volume has surpassed Ethereum’s even during a steep dropoff in memecoin trading activity. Meanwhile, Solana’s volume has risen consistently in recent months, which coincides with a decline in Ethereum’s volumes.Solana vs. Ethereum DEX volumes. Source: VanEckFurthermore, the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs has fundamentally altered the traditional crypto market cycle that used to benefit Ethereum and other altcoins.Historically, after Bitcoin surged post-halving, capital rotated into altcoins, triggering an “altseason” where ETH and other assets outperformed BTC. However, the $129 billion inflows into Bitcoin ETFs in 2024 have disrupted this cycle, draining liquidity from the broader altcoin market—including Ethereum.Bitcoin Dominance Index weekly price chart. Source: TradingViewAnother factor is Ethereum-specific selling pressure. The recent Bybit hack reportedly led to substantial ETH liquidations, with some of that value laundered via decentralized platforms like Thorchain. This absorbed sell-off may still be rippling through the market, depressing ETH’s relative value.This article does not contain investment advice or recommendations.

Solana revenue slumps 93% from January high after memecoin bubble bursts - Solana network revenue and total value locked onchain have collapsed in the past two months as interest in memecoins has continued to taper off. Weekly network revenue on the Solana blockchain hit a record high of $55.3 million in mid-January amid the height of the memecoin minting frenzy. However, revenue has since tanked 93% to around $4 million in the past week, back to levels not seen since September, according to DeFillama data. Solana weekly decentralized application (DApp) revenue has also slumped around 86% from $238 million in mid-January to $32 million for the past week. Meanwhile, DeFi total value locked on Solana has also declined by almost 50% over the same period, falling from a January high of just over $12 billion to current levels of around $6.4 billion.
