Analysis: Bearish ETH pattern points to $1,600, BitMine's unrealized loss may exceed $10 billions
According to Odaily, as Ethereum continues to weaken, Tom Lee's BitMine's ETH reserve unrealized losses have expanded to approximately $7.35 billion. Data shows that ETH has dropped more than 57% from the October 2025 high of around $4,955, and its market dominance (ETH Dominance) has also fallen from about 15% to around 10%.
BitMine launched its ETH reserve strategy in July 2025 and continued to increase its holdings after completing a $250 million private placement. The latest data indicates it currently holds about 5.28 million ETH, accounting for around 4.37% of Ethereum’s total supply, making it the world’s largest publicly listed ETH reserve company.
Despite the ongoing increase in unrealized losses, Tom Lee remains committed to a long-term accumulation strategy. BitMine once said it would moderately slow its buying pace but would not abandon the ETH reserve plan, and expects to hold 5% of total Ethereum supply by December this year.
However, technical risks continue to intensify. Analysis points out that ETH is currently near the lower boundary of a typical “rising wedge” bearish pattern. If the support is decisively broken, the price could further drop to the $1,600 region, leaving about 25% downside from current levels. Should this scenario occur, and based on BitMine’s average holding cost of about $3,513, its ETH holdings’ unrealized losses could further expand to around $10.1 billion.
Meanwhile, market sentiment continues to deteriorate. On-chain data platform Santiment shows that the ETH social media long-short comment ratio has rapidly fallen from over 2:1 at the end of April to nearly 1:1. Analysts say that more and more traders have started to view ETH as “Dead Money” (an asset lacking upward momentum). (Cointelegraph)

US consumer sentiment fell in October as the one- and five-year inflation expectations reached their highest levels since May, preliminary results of a University of Michigan survey showed Friday. "While year-ahead expectations for personal finances and business conditions crept up slightly, buying conditions for durables plummeted amid high prices and borrowing costs," Surveys of Consumers Director Joanne Hsu said. "Frustration over cost-of-living continues to mount, as consumers across the political spectrum believe that the trajectory of the economy has weakened since the beginning of the year." Markets are currently pricing in a nearly 81% probability that the Federal Reserve will keep its benchmark rate steady later this month, with the remaining odds in favor of a second consecutive 25-basis-point hike, as the central bank looks to tame inflation, according to the CME FedWatch tool. West Texas Intermediate crude was down 0.4% at $91.17 a barrel intraday, while Brent lost 0.5% to $103.81.
