Why is Ethereum flat today? What the numbers show
- Versus the market. ETH moved against the market: +0.6% while total crypto market value was -2.6%. That points to a Ethereum-specific driver; see the stories below.
- Versus Bitcoin. ETH matched Bitcoin by 0.2 percentage points over 24 hours, and ranked 22nd of 41 large coins by 24-hour change. Bitcoin dominance is 59.2% and Ether dominance 11.4%.
- Trading activity. 24-hour trading volume was $10.0 billion, equal to 3.0% of ETH's $331.9 billion market value, up 112.0% on the previous day. Volume did not change sharply, so the move was not driven by a surge of trading.
- 24-hour range. ETH traded between $2,695 (14:25 UTC, Oct 4) and $2,733 (02:30 UTC), a 1.4% swing. The high came after the low. The current price sits in the middle of that range.
- The bigger picture. Over 7 days ETH is +1.6% and over 30 days +10.7%. The 30-day range is $2,390 to $2,762. ETH is 45.1% below its all-time high of $4,946.
- Sentiment. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index reads 70 (Greed), up from 65 a day earlier.
- Network demand. The average Ethereum gas price is 0.61 gwei. Gas below 2 gwei points to quiet on-chain activity, with most transactions happening on layer 2s.
