    The journey of Ethereum towards the much-anticipated $5,000 mark may encounter further obstacles as on-chain data indicates potential challenges.

    Analysis reveals that long-term holders (LTHs) of ETH are currently selling off their holdings, which could introduce sell pressure affecting the market. Concurrently, a lingering bearish attitude among futures traders complicates matters further, putting its short-term upward potential in jeopardy.

    Profit-Taking by Long-Term Holders Halts ETH’s Breakout

    ETH’s recent month-long price stabilization has offered a chance for long-term holders (LTHs) to secure profits following the altcoin’s late-August ascent to an all-time high.

    This tendency is reflected in the coin’s Liveliness metric, which, according to Glassnode, has reached a year-to-date high of 0.704.

    The Liveliness of an asset tracks the dynamics of previously dormant tokens by assessing the ratio of an asset’s destroyed coin days to its total coin days accrued. A decrease suggests LTHs are withdrawing their assets from exchanges, indicating accumulation.

    Conversely, an increase in Liveliness indicates that more dormant coins are being sold, signaling intensified profit-taking by LTHs.

    As a result, the rise in ETH’s Liveliness indicates that LTHs are opting to realize profits rather than holding out for more significant gains. This selling pressure may hinder ETH’s capacity to achieve a definitive breakout towards the $5,000 mark shortly.

    Futures Traders Sustain Sell-Side Pressure

    The ongoing bearish sentiment in the derivatives market exacerbates this pressure. Data from CryptoQuant indicates that ETH’s taker buy-sell ratio has remained predominantly in the red for much of the past month, underscoring continued exits among futures traders.

    An asset’s taker buy-sell ratio gauges the balance between buy and sell volumes in the futures market. A ratio exceeding one reflects stronger buy activity, while a figure below one indicates heightened sell-side pressure.

    In the case of ETH, values below one have persisted for over a month, highlighting a continued bearish stance among traders, which may further postpone ETH’s ascent to $5,000.

    $5,000 Breakout Relies on Demand Revival

    Currently, the leading altcoin is priced at $4,542, remaining above the support threshold at $4,211. Should bearish sentiment intensify and selloffs persist, it may revisit this support level.

    This could potentially lead to a more significant drop to $3,626 if the support fails to hold.

    However, a revival in demand for ETH could overturn this bearish outlook. In such a scenario, the coin’s price might aim to breach the resistance at $4,957. If successful, it could lead to new highs above $5,000.
