As the price of Ethereum (עטה) continues to plummet amid the בעריש trend that has ensnared the entire קריפּטאָקוררענסי מאַרק, the token is witnessing increased selling pressure demonstrated by its heavy inflow into קריפּטאָ יקסטשיינדזשיז.
Indeed, around 333,000 Ethereum has been deposited in wallets of known crypto exchanges over the past two weeks, according to a סאַנטימענט טשאַרט שערד by technical and on-chain analyst Ali Martinez on May 9.
Taking into account the price of Ethereum at the time of the tweet, Martinez said that the amount which dropped on the exchanges was worth $825 million. As the price continues to fall in the meantime, the value is now closer to $800 million.
What the ETH inflow means
The chart clearly shows the price of Ethereum and its supply on exchanges moving in opposite directions. This is typical behavior for an asset, consistent with changes in the market sentiment.
Traditionally, an increase in inflows to exchanges suggests increased selling pressure, decreased demand as more participants seek to sell rather than buy, and an increase in the asset’s availability for purchase – which altogether contributes to knocking down its price.

Whether Ethereum will manage to meet those optimistic expectations, remains to be seen.
