Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have started September in the red, having already suffered price declines since the beginning of the month. This bearish sentiment towards the foremost cryptocurrencies and, by extension, the broader crypto market is due to several macroeconomic factors. Market Still Feeling The Effects Of The Yen Carry Trade Recent developments suggest Bitcoin and Ethereum are still feeling the effects of the abandonment of the Yen carry trade. The Yen recently surged against the US dollar, suggesting that investors are still selling riskier assets like these cryptocurrencies to unwind their carry trade positions, which utilized the low-yielding Yen. Related Reading: Bitcoin Short-Term Holder Behavior Reminiscent Of 2019 As BTC Remains Below $60,000 In an X (formerly Twitter) post, hedge fund manager James Lavish also suggested that the effects of the Yen carry trade was still in play. He noted that the Nikkei 225 had dropped by 3.7% while the USD/Yen trading pair was heading lower. The Bank of Japan (BOJ) Kazuo Ueda also recently made a hawkish statement that they will continue to hike rates if the economy and prices continue to perform as expected. This has also sparked fear among traders and prompted them to close their carry trade positions, thereby putting more selling pressure on Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin and Ethereum suffered major losses during the August 5 market crash, which was caused by the BOJs decision to hike interest rates for the second time since 2007. Bitcoin, on its part, dropped below $50,000, while Ethereum dropped to as low as $2,200. As such, with the effects of the Yen carry trade still in play and the BOJ hinting at more rate hikes, Bitcoin and Ethereum risk suffering further price declines. US Stock Market Crash Contributes To Bitcoin And Ethereums Fall Furthermore, Bitcoin and Ethereums correlation with the US stock market has also contributed to their price crash since the beginning of September. Specifically, on September 3, over $1.05 million was wiped out from the stock market, which also sparked fear in the crypto market and led to a wave of sell-offs for Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Data from Farside investors showed that the Spot Bitcoin ETFs and Spot Ethereum ETFs witnessed total net outflows of $287.8 million and $47.4 million, respectively. With such a bearish outlook for Bitcoin and Ethereum, there is an urgent need for a spark that could provide bullish momentum for the crypto market. Crypto community members are hoping that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at the next FOMC meeting set to be held between September 17 and 18, as that will provide some relief to the market and help inject more liquidity into Bitcoin and Ethereum. At the time of writing, Bitcoin and Ethereum are trading at around $57,160 and $2,400, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

However, the head of macro research at Global Macro Investor, Julien Bittel, remains optimistic about Ether.
Ethereum has largely mirrored Bitcoin in terms of price action and has yet to break out on its own accord in the past few months. According to price data, Ethereum is up by 13% in the past seven days, outpacing Bitcoin’s increase of 5.8% in the same time frame. Behind this interesting increase in Ethereum are some large Ethereum holders who seem to be increasing their holdings. Notably, on-chain data from multiple analytics platform points to an uptick in activity from Ethereum whales in the past few days. Particularly, Glassnode data suggests large holders of Ethereum have added at least 70,000 ETH into their wallets since the beginning of last week. Ethereum Whales Spend Big On ETH The interesting Ethereum whale activity noted above is revealed through on-chain analytics platform Glassnode. As shown in the chart below, the number of Ethereum wallets holding 10,000 ETH or more has experienced a rise in the last 24 hours, increasing to 925 wallets. This marks a gain of about seven new whale wallets that have accumulated a huge number of ETH tokens, up from the 918 wallets recorded on September 18. Related Reading: Bitcoin Prediction: Crypto Pundit Reveals Why $100,000 Is The Nominal Price Level For 2025 Supporting this trend, additional data from IntoTheBlock (ITB) indicates a surge in activity from addresses holding substantial amounts of Ethereum. ITB tracks these movements through a specific metric that monitors the number and value of transactions exceeding $100,000. According to this metric, Ethereum whale activity has reached over $29 billion in the past seven days. While this figure accounts for both inflows and outflows from whale wallets, the sheer scale of these transactions is notable. Historically, such high levels of activity from large holders tend to be a bullish indicator for cryptocurrencies. This heightened activity is further reflected in the inflows of ETH into large holder wallets. On September 23, these inflows soared to 515,520 ETH, representing an impressive 440% spike compared to the 95,820 ETH recorded during the previous 24-hour period. Time To Buy ETH? At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,626. As noted earlier, this is on the back of a 13% increase in the past seven days, prompting Ethereums overperformance over Bitcoin for the first time since the beginning of the year. The leading altcoin has mirrored Bitcoins movements so consistently that some analysts have questioned its potential for decoupling anytime soon.

Ethereum just broke over $2,600 for the first time in September, which is the first step in a sustained move to the upside.

Ethereum (ETH) price has outshined Bitcoin (BTC) over the last week since the US Federal Reserve (Fed) slashed interest rate by 50 basis points (bps) on September 18, 2024. Ethereum Gains On Bitcoin, Prelude To Altseason? Ethereum has had an impressive last few days as far as its price action is concerned. ETH has surged by 16% to $2,666 since the Fed cut rates for the first time in four years. BTC has risen by 9% in the same period, trading at $63,643 at press time. Related Reading: Ethereum Poised For A Comeback Following Interest Rate Cut: Steno Research The ETH/BTC trading pair has surged from 0.0385 on September 18, to 0.0420 on September 23, indicating an increase of almost 9%. Notably, the ETH/BTC trading pair is a crucial trading pair observed by crypto analysts to gauge market sentiments toward altcoins relative to BTC. When ETH and other altcoins gain value against BTC, it suggests increased investor interest in altcoins, potentially signaling the beginning of an “altseason.” Conversely, when BTC outperforms ETH, it may indicate a shift back to Bitcoin dominance. Its worth highlighting that the Ethereum futures funding rate has turned positive since the interest rate cut, standing at 0.0058% according to data from cryptocurrency futures trading and information platform CoinGlass. For the uninitiated, a positive funding rate implies that traders holding long positions – in this case, long ETH – are paying short positions, reflecting bullish market sentiments. The change in funding rate suggests greater optimism regarding ETHs future price, likely driven by increased demand and confidence following the rate cut. That said, investors should be cautious of sharp movements in funding rates, as this could lead to market corrections amidst excessive optimism or due to any changes in external factors. Ethereum Faces Stiff Competition From Other Blockchains Throughout 2024, Ethereum has faced criticism for its lackluster performance relative to its competitors. Even major developments, like the US Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC) approval of ETH exchange-traded funds (ETFs) failed to propel the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap significantly. In contrast, competing smart contract platforms like Solana (SOL), Binance Coin (BNB), and Tron (TRX) have made impressive strides not only in terms of price appreciation but also regarding the development of ecosystem infrastructure.

Similarly, all eyes are on the release of former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao from prison on September 29, 2024. Crypto analysts predict that Zhaos release could spark bullish momentum for Binances native token BNB, which has shown incredible resilience despite the exchanges former CEO being imprisoned on money laundering charges. With the rising adoption of Ethereum layer-2 solutions offering high scalability with minimal transaction costs, expect the smart contract space to become increasingly competitive.
