Today’s Ethereum price chart may suggest the formation of a bearish pattern called the “double top”. 100k ETH also flowed into Binance.<\/p>\n
As explained by a CryptoQuant post, the cryptocurrency formed a bearish pattern on the price chart earlier today, and at about the same time, Binance also noticed a netflow of around 100k ETH.<\/p>\n
Here is a Ethereum chart that clearly shows the bearish pattern:<\/p>\n

As the above chart shows, Ethereum seems to have formed what’s popularly known as the “double top” pattern. Historically, formation of such peaks has been a bearish signal.<\/p>\n
However, a double top can’t be confirmed until the price drops below the support level marked by the dip between the two peaks.<\/p>\n

It’s possible it could just be a shoulder formation, and that the bearish trend might still be active.<\/p>\n Though the opposite could also be true; the price might keep going back up instead. However, another bearish signal also went off…<\/p>\n Around the same time that the two peaks formed, the netflow indicator for Ethereum showed that about 100k ETH flowed into the crypto exchange Binance.<\/p>\n The “netflow” is a metric that shows the net amount of coins moving into or out of exchanges. It’s calculated by simply taking the difference between the inflows and the outflows.<\/p>\n When the indicator takes a negative value, it means more ETH is moving out than in, while a positive value implies the reverse.<\/p>\n Here is a chart that shows the Ethereum netflow for all exchanges:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The ETH netflow spikes up | Source: CryptoQuant<\/p>\n The spike on the chart shows that about 100k ETH flowed into exchanges, and chain data confirms it was into the crypto exchange Binance.<\/p>\n Such a positive spike generally implies investors are facing heavy selling pressure, and thus they are sending their coins to exchanges for dumping them.<\/p>\nAbout 100k ETH Flows Into Binance<\/h2>\n
