compounding worries about upcoming token supply and declining income for holders.<\/p>\n<h2>Altcoins sell-off drags ETHFI<\/h2>\n<p>Risk aversion in broader crypto markets has amplified ETHFI\u2019s move downward.<\/p>\n<p>As traders flee speculative tokens, ETHFI \u2014 a high-beta staking play \u2014 underperformed large-cap peers.<\/p>\n<p>The token fell by over 7.1%, hitting a low of $0.9997 before recovering to <span data-converter-target=\"price\" data-coin-id=\"35958\" data-price-target=\"price\" data-price-btc=\"9.802825109849047e-06\" data-price-usd=\"1.1125013261246097\" data-prev-price=\"1.1125013261246095\">$1.11 at press time<\/span>, while wider altcoin benchmarks show smaller declines, highlighting project-specific pressures.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, market rotation toward <a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/bitcoin\/what-is-bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin (BTC)<\/a> has intensified outflows from smaller tokens.<\/p>\n<p>For example, ETHFI\u2019s 30-day slide of roughly 33% signals sustained selling pressure rather than a one-day repricing event.<\/p>\n<p>Investors are treating the token like a leverage play, exiting quickly as macro and micro signals turned negative.<\/p>\n<h2>Technical breakdown deepens losses<\/h2>\n<p>From a technical standpoint, ETHFI has slipped under the $1.15 midpoint retracement and tested the $0.96, the 61.8% Fibonacci level, erasing a nascent recovery attempt and fracturing market confidence.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the RSI sits near neutral but trending down, while the MACD histogram still supports a bearish momentum picture, although there are signs of a possible reversal, and elevated volume during the drop showed conviction among sellers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_342446\"

area would open the door to a retest of the September $0.80 low.<\/p>\n<h2>On-chain metrics paint a grim picture<\/h2>\n<p>On-chain data confirm the price weakness, with daily active addresses plunging to 966, the lowest since July 2025, showing a clear drop in buyer and user interest.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_342448\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-342448\" class=\"wp-caption

Terminal<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Protocol fees have also collapsed from roughly $210,500 to about $111,700, an over $98,000 drop that directly hits net holder income and reduces yield attractiveness for stakers.<\/p>\n<p>Liquidity has also drained to near-yearly lows, with available DEX liquidity around $680,000.<\/p>\n<p>That thin depth magnifies price moves, as even modest sell orders push the market more.<\/p>\n<p>TVL has also contracted to roughly $9.784 billion, <a href=\"https:\/\/defillama.com\/protocol\/ether.fi\">according to DefiLlama<\/a>, underscoring that long-term commitment to the protocol has waned.<\/p>\n<h2>Tokenomics overhang still matters<\/h2>\n<p>Supply dynamics remain a structural risk for ETHFI holders as well.<\/p>\n<p>With about 56% of the total supply circulating, upcoming unlock schedules keep potential dilution in investors\u2019 minds.<\/p>\n<p>Building on the upcoming major unlock event, fear of future supply increases can prompt preemptive selling, mirroring events seen in comparable projects.<\/p>\n<p>Net Holder Income has also fallen sharply quarter over quarter, with the Q4 NHI sitting near $464,000 versus $3.9 million in Q3, signalling a material drop in protocol revenue that reduces incentives to accumulate or hold.<\/p>\n<p>Without improvements in usage or fee generation, holder economics remain challenging.<\/p>\n<h2>ETHFI price outlook<\/h2>\n<p>The immediate outlook is biased to the downside until concrete signs of recovery appear.<\/p>\n<p>Key technical support near $0.96 must hold to preserve the chance of a short-covering rally.<\/p>\n<p>If that level fails, ETHFI could revisit the $0.80 area where buyers previously defended the token.<\/p>\n<p>Recovery depends on two things: renewed on-chain activity and restored liquidity.<\/p>\n<p>A return of daily users and a rebound in fees would stabilise NHI and improve the token\u2019s narrative, while a meaningful liquidity refill would reduce volatility and help price discovery.<\/p>\n<p>Until those changes materialise, traders should expect elevated swings and possible further erosion.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr
