But as Nansen’s tweet points out, things are finally starting to change, as the number of mints increased by 48% in June.

Ethereum investors are once again disappointed

In the midst of these updates, ETH suffered another price correction, as after crossing $1,900, it once again dipped below that mark. According to CoinMarketCapthe price of ETH fell nearly 3% in the past seven days.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was trading at $1,860.19 with a market cap of over $223 billion. Any chances of ETH crossing $1,900 again soon? A look at the on-chain stats provided a few answers.

The bears are hard to beat

From CryptoQuant, ETH’s foreign exchange reserve increased, suggesting it was under selling pressure. The Coinbase Premium was also red, meaning US-based investors were selling on that exchange.

Santiment’s chart revealed that Ethereum’s MVRV ratio also fell, further increasing the likelihood of a sustained downtrend. Last week fewer new addresses were created to transfer ETH, as evidenced by the dip in network growth.

However, the good news was that Ethereum’s Open Interest was decreasing. A drop in the metric suggested that the ongoing price trend could end soon.
