In a few hours, Ethereum went from euphoria to retreat. On August 24, the crypto reached an all-time high of 4,955 dollars before losing nearly 9% shortly after, with 60 billion dollars of capitalization going up in smoke.

Bitcoin (BTC) has witnessed heightened price volatility over the past days, a trend that has stirred several questions among market observers. Some crypto commentators believe that the asset’s recent uneven movement is down to the activities of early BTC investors, often called “OG whales.”

Driven by ETF inflows and a favorable macroeconomic climate, ETH is once again attracting institutional investors. However, history tempers optimism. Since 2016, every August rally has been followed by a bearish September. Will the current euphoria mark a break or will it reactivate the market's seasonal mechanics?

The flagship crypto asset has just crossed a symbolic threshold: its market capitalization now amounts to nearly 1.7% of the planetary money supply.
