Number of new ETH addresses per day drops 50% in 24 hours; Price correction ahead?

While the cryptocurrency market is struggling with another red wave, its second-largest asset – Ethereum (ETH) – is recording a dramatic drop in the number of new addresses created per day, signaling a possible price correction.

Indeed, over the previous 24 hours, the number of new Ethereum addresses created daily has declined by over 50%, as crypto trading expert Ali Martinez explained in his tweet on September 28.

According to Martinez, such a decline in ETH address creation could indicate a significant price decrease in the near future, as he explained that:

“Generally, a steady decline in the number of new addresses created on a given blockchain leads to a steep price correction over time.”
