Bitcoin and Ethereum: Momentum Cools Without Panic
Market cycle scoring by CryptoPulsar puts Bitcoin at 30.8/50. On-chain activity is moderate: about 1.34 million transactions went through in 24 hours, which signals neither panic nor euphoria. In cycle terms the price slipped about 0.7% toward the 77.3k USD area, while the official market print is 77 198 USD and -0.23% over 24h. RSI(14) has slid to about 41: the market is not oversold, but momentum is fading.
BTC momentum signals are mixed. MACD still has a point-level bullish reading, but the latest histogram has dropped to -7.8, and the shorter EMA 9 sits below the longer EMA 21, which typically favors selling pressure. Fear & Greed stands at 63, still greed, but without euphoria. Perpetual funding at 0.0046% shows a neutral leverage stance. Circulating supply is 20 083 406 BTC of a 21 000 000 maximum, or about 95.6% of the cap.
Ethereum has the lowest cycle score among major assets: 24.6/50. Price 2 524 USD, 24h change -0.47%, yet +1.70% over 7 days. Market cap 308.05 billion USD, volume 9.12 billion USD, circulating supply 122 041 373 ETH. RSI is 44.6 and neutral, but MACD and the EMA 9/21 cross are bearish.
Over the last 4 hours a net of about 2 996 ETH flowed onto exchanges, with 92 inbound and 75 outbound transfers. That is a short-term supply-pressure signal, because coins on exchanges are easier to sell. In the last hour more than 100 large transfers above 250 ETH were recorded, the largest around 10 877 ETH, 2 759 ETH and 2 247 ETH. At 2 524 USD, the 10 877 ETH transfer alone is worth about 27.5 million USD.
The Bitquery snapshot (from 2026-09-11T21:12:16Z, minimum threshold 100 ETH) confirms the scale of September 12 flows. At 20:48:47Z, 9 241.58 ETH moved from 0xa9ac43f5b5 to 0x9c22a4039f. A minute later 2 225.10 ETH, then at 20:49:23Z another 1 467.12 ETH. There are also pairs of 410.96 ETH and 468.00 ETH transfers plus 119.19 ETH that look like round-trips between contracts. The data does not settle the motive, but it confirms high activity among large wallets in the same session in which ETH is down 0.47%.
💡 Worth Knowing
Zcash is up 10.60% over 7 days, but down 5.17% in 24h on 1.05 billion USD of volume, almost matching XRP's entire daily turnover (1.09 billion USD). Figure Heloc has a 22.55 billion USD market cap (rank #9) on just 4.59 million USD of volume. That is an extremely low turnover-to-cap ratio versus the rest of the top 10.
