On-chain data shows investor realized profits on the Ethereum network have hit 
their highest level in three weeks alongside the dip in the ETH price. 
Ethereum Realized Profit/Loss Shot Up Recently According to data from on-chain 
analytics firm Santiment, the Ethereum Network Realized Profit/Loss has 
observed a spike recently. This indicator tells us, as its name suggests, the 
net amount of profit or loss that ETH investors as a whole are realizing 
through their transactions. Related Reading: Bitcoin Falls Below $80,000: 
Coinbase Sellers To Blame? The metric works by going through the transfer 
history of each token being sold on the blockchain to determine the price at 
which it was moved prior to this. If the previous transaction value was less 
than the latest selling price for any coin, then the token&#8217;s sale is 
considered to be leading to the realization of some net profit. Similarly, the 
opposite arrangement points to loss-taking. The exact degree of profit or loss 
involved in each case is equal to the difference between the two prices. The 
Network Realized Profit/Loss sums up this profit and loss for all transactions 
occurring on the network and determines their net value. Now, here is the 
chart shared by Santiment that shows the trend in the indicator for Ethereum 
over the past month: As displayed in the above graph, the Ethereum Network 
Realized Profit/Loss has mostly had a value lower than zero inside this 
window, a potential sign that investors selling on the blockchain has 
generally been of the loss-taking kind. There have been a few profit-taking 
spikes, however, with one such coming just recently. From the chart, it&#8217;s 
visible that investors took $74.58 million in profit alongside this surge. 
Interestingly, the distribution didn&#8217;t align with the local high from earlier 
in the week. Instead, it came after the cryptocurrency had already dipped. 
This means that some investors who were sitting on profits panicked by the 
price drawdown and just decided to exit with some gains. These holders could 
be the buyers from the February-March depressed market phase, when Ethereum 
was trading below $2,000. As the analytics firm explained: Wallets that 
accumulated during those months are still in profit even with this mid-May 
decline, and many have decided to sell while they feel they still have the 
opportunity to enjoy a profit. Related Reading: Dogecoin TD Sequential Flashes 
Sell Signal: Price Correction Ahead? Since the profit realization has 
occurred, Ethereum has witnessed a further dip, a potential sign that this 
distribution may have been a contributor. It now remains to be seen whether 
the Network Realized Profit/Loss will stay positive in the coming days or if 
loss-taking will follow next. ETH Price At the time of writing, Ethereum is 
floating around $2,250, down 2.6% in the last seven days. Featured image from
