Market Expert Issues Urgent Warning: Dump Ethereum Before October Or Regret It

Crypto's looking shaky—again. One analyst just dropped a bombshell prediction: Ethereum holders should exit their positions by October. No caveats, no maybes. Just a hard deadline.

Why the fire sale? The expert points to a perfect storm of technical indicators and macroeconomic tremors. Layer-2 adoption isn't scaling fast enough to justify current valuations, and institutional money's rotating into—wait for it—real estate. (Yes, the boomer asset.)

Meanwhile, ETH's gas fees still spike every time an NFT drop trends. The network's stuck in a loop: demand surges, fees rocket, users flee. Rinse, repeat. Competitors are eating its lunch with cheaper transactions and actual scalability.

Here's the kicker: if this prediction flops, the expert's credibility tanks. But if it hits? A bloodbath for retail bagholders—while hedge funds conveniently "discover" new short positions. How... predictable.

Why Investors Should Sell Ethereum In October

In an X post, Orbion said that he is still bullish on ETH right now but that the plan is to fully exit by the end of October. He noted that the Bitcoin price has already recorded a 100% gain from the lows this year, showing strong momentum and institutional demand. Meanwhile, Ethereum has broken and held above $4,200, which sets the stage for a final push higher in the coming weeks. 

Orbion claimed that the setup looks strong now, but every cycle ends the same way, in a fast and brutal manner when the top comes. The market expert stated that his short-term target for Ethereum is in the $5,800 to $6,000 range, if it sustains this momentum. This would represent a 300% gain from the cycle lows. 

The market expert expects Bitcoin to start showing signs of topping in late September, with Ethereum following shortly after, possibly in October. He predicts that by the end of October, BTC could be in the $55,000 range and ETH back to $1,400, which is why he is advising investors to take profits by October. Orbion remarked that this is not a bearish but simply how post-peak corrections have played out historically.

He indicated that investors should start planning their exits from now because the markets don’t give anyone time to react when momentum dies. The expert noted that altcoins can drop about 20% in a single day as liquidity dries up. As such, market participants could end up selling into panic and not strength if they don’t prepare accordingly.  

Key Metrics To Watch For ETH’s Market Top

Orbion stated that key metrics like NUPL, SOPR, and MVRV have efficiently signaled the tops in past cycles. He explained that NUPL at +0.75 shows extreme unrealized profit levels across holders, which the expert claimed is a major warning sign. Furthermore, the SOPR turning negative shows coins are being sold at a loss after euphoria peaks. 

Meanwhile, the expert explained that the MVRV being deep red means that the market value is far above the cost basis, which is unsustainable for an extended period. For now, Orbion is still bullish on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the broader crypto market because of the Fed rate cut expected to come in September. 

He claimed this will be a catalyst for crypto and that liquidity injections will fuel the final leg of the rally, although the expert warned it will be fast, lasting only weeks and not months. Therefore, investors have to start planning their exit before then. 

At the time of writing, the ethereum price is trading at around $4,310, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
