The Ethereum market is currently experiencing a range of strategies among its holders as uncertainty persists.

Large holders of Ethereum (those with over 100,000 ETH) have remained inactive, maintaining their positions without significant changes.

In contrast, mid-tier holders (with 10,000 to 100,000 ETH) have been gradually accumulating more ETH, signaling a cautious optimism. However, small holders (with 100 to 1,000 ETH) are selling off their positions steadily.

In a surprising turn, a well-known smart trader with a previously flawless 100% win rate has recently encountered a loss. The trader sold 5,690 ETH (valued at $13.1 million) at a price of $2,304 yesterday and bought back 5,660 ETH (valued at $13.1 million) at $2,316. This transaction resulted in a loss of 30.8 ETH, or approximately $71,400.

James Fickel (@jamesfickel) has been active in the market as well, exchanging 11,584 ETH for 450 WBTC (worth $27 million) at a rate of 0.03881 over the past 10 hours. Despite these trades, Fickel still has a significant debt of 1,308.8 WBTC (valued at $78.8 million) on Aave. Additionally, Fickel has suffered substantial losses exceeding 21,000 ETH (around $49 million) from going long on the BTC/ETH trading pair.

On September 17, the Ethereum spot ETF market saw a total net outflow of $15.114 million, with Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHE) alone experiencing a net outflow of $17.886 million in a single day. These figures reflect ongoing volatility and investor caution in the Ethereum market.
