There are several factors that have caused the market to decline sharply compared to yesterday.
1) Macro pressure from the US Federal Reserve (Fed) as they expressed caution about future interest rate cuts, increasing risk sentiment in the market.

@VitalikButerin@moonkinOnEth 3) ETH/DeFi Specific Events: The $70-110 million attack (exploit) targeting the Balancer V2 protocol, causing local selling pressure on Ethereum-related tokens such as WETH and LSTs (Liquid Staking Tokens)

There was an exodus from moonkin. Moonkin's holdings dropped significantly. They started to get discouraged, because they no longer believed Vitalik could bring it back to glory.

Money is constantly being printed, but why does ETH keep falling? Simply put, they are quietly collecting goods before pushing, it is not in a hurry for everyone to see.

History repeats itself in a programmatic way. 9 consecutive weeks of gains in 2020 and the 3rd day of the 10th week of collapse. And now it is the same: 9 consecutive weeks of gains and the 3rd day of the market collapse for gold.

In the process of distributing gold, will everything happen quickly? Certainly not!
But it will need to lull investors with the SW state on the top for a while and sometimes it may happen that UTAD tries to rise to the current resistance zone
@VitalikButerin#Moonkin
Gold is in the process of distribution, coin is in the process of absorbing supply. Everything is being systematically programmed about the movement of Bigboys' money flow.
@VitalikButerin@moonkinOnEth#Moonkin
If we take the spike and ledge model reference over ETH it is the same. Ledge is in the process of absorbing the remaining supply in the market before pushing the price up
@VitalikButerin@moonkinOnEth#Moonkin
If we talk about gold, this is the Spike and ledge pattern. Abnormal price spike and then distribution to absorb all the current demand.
