Data shows the cryptocurrency derivatives market has suffered a high amount of liquidations in the past day after the crash the altcoins have seen.

Renowned crypto analyst Doctor Profit recently released “The big altcoin report” for the third quarter of the year, suggesting further downward movement for the market. Based on historical performance and the current state of the market, Doctor Profit warns of an impending altcoin market crash triggered by an episode of uncertainty and a recent price correction in the top 100 cryptocurrencies, led by Bitcoin (BTC). However, the analyst remains optimistic, highlighting potential buying opportunities and optimal entry points for several top altcoins. Altcoin Market Correction Doctor Profit draws attention to the altcoin market’s recent exponential growth, with market capitalization surging from $300 billion to nearly $800 billion between October 2023 and March 2024, representing a 150% increase in just five months. Related Reading: From Cheers To Tears: Beercoin (BEER) Dries Up, Loses 70% Of Its Value Corrections following such significant growth are deemed normal but can prove challenging for retail investors. The recent correction of 25%, bringing the market cap to around $550 billion, is regarded as a healthy adjustment by the analyst. Doctor Profit believes that altcoins have nearly reached their bottom and are poised for another substantial rise, potentially reaching a market cap of $1 trillion and setting new all-time highs. The analyst parallels the current market situation and previous cycles, emphasizing the repetitive pattern of sideways movement and dumps followed by explosive growth. Doctor Profit identifies several altcoins with optimal buying levels based on their current prices and expected retracements. For instance, the native cryptocurrency of the 3D metaverse game, The Sandbox (SAND), is currently trading at $0.31. Doctor Profit suggests a potential retracement of $0.22 would present an optimal buy zone. Another altcoin, Stacks (STX), a Bitcoin Layer 2 token, currently trades at $1.61. Doctor Profit recommends a downside target and buy zone of $1.48. Similarly, Arbitrum (ARB), a Layer 2 token, is currently trading at $0.78, with losses of over 10%. Doctor Profit identifies $0.61 as the best-buy zone for this token, suggesting further losses in the coming days. Mid-July Rally Forecasted Moving on to larger altcoins, Doctor Profit analyzes Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency. Despite being the largest altcoin, Ethereum has witnessed a 3% drop, with the current trading price at $3,430. Doctor Profit’s analysis suggests a potential decline towards $2,890, indicating an entry point for a long position. Binance Coin (BNB), which recently reached a new all-time high of $725, is expected to retrace almost 50% to $396, presenting the best entry point according to the expert. Currently, BNB has retraced to $585. Doctor Profit further notes that other altcoins expected to retrace substantially include Optimism (OP), the Sei (SEI) token, Toncoin (TON), Notcoin (NOT), and Omni (OMNI). These altcoins have recorded price drops ranging from 8% to 17%, reflecting investor sentiment. Doctor Profit provides specific price targets and optimal buying levels for these altcoins. Doctor Profit advises caution due to potential “market maker manipulation” and order placements at the same levels. The analyst sets orders 3-5% higher or lower than the identified optimal buying levels to avoid missing out.

While not expecting a significant pump on that day, similar to the Bitcoin ETF launch, the analyst predicts a sideways or bearish trend for altcoins in the next 3-4 weeks. However, a significant reversal and the start of a new altcoin rally are anticipated by mid-July. The analyst emphasizes that altcoins are currently low, and only a few will succeed. Based on the provided analysis, Doctor Profit believes that the altcoin market cap is 10-15% away from its bottom, making it an opportune time to invest for long-term gains.

Prominent crypto analyst Jelle has projected Ethereum (ETH) to surge to $5,000 by the end of this year. This prediction comes with a notable reason from a technical perspective. Ethereum Rally: Setting the Stage For New Peaks Jelle’s forecast comes after Ethereum is experiencing a form of stabilization above the $3,500 mark, following a correction from its March high of over $4,000. Related Reading: Bitcoin, But Ethereum Holds Potential for Surprise — QCP Capital As the crypto community watches closely, Jelle’s insights suggest significant bullish potential for Ethereum, particularly as the market anticipates the launch of spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Jelle’s analysis points to a pivotal moment for Ethereum. After a brief dip in price, Ethereum has rebounded, reaching as low as $3,384 last Friday; the asset is currently trading around the $3,500 mark and demonstrating a recovery though with a 2.2% decrease in the last 24 hours and nearly 5% over the past week. This stabilization is a minor fluctuation and a critical support level that could foresee significant price movements. According to Jelle, “ETH successfully turned $3,500 into support. Very few people are ready for this one to make new all-time highs, but $5,000 ETH is very much on the menu this year. Let’s roll.” This statement underscores a strong conviction that Ethereum is recovering and gearing up for a substantial upward trajectory. The current market dynamics provide a fertile ground for such optimism. Ethereum’s resilience in maintaining key support levels amidst market fluctuations bodes well for its potential to breach previous highs. The anticipated introduction of spot Ethereum ETFs is expected to inject further vigor into its market cap, attracting institutional and retail investors drawn to its ecosystem and the promise of enhanced liquidity and regulatory compliance. $ETH successfully turned $3,500 into support! Very few people are ready for this one to make new all-time highs, but $5,000 ETH is very much on the menu this year. Let’s roll. pic.twitter.com/k438SvCX2o — Jelle (@CryptoJelleNL) June 17, 2024 Strategic Movements and Market Sentiments The broader crypto market, especially Ethereum, is buzzing with activity, anticipating the spot on ETH ETFs. Recent data from NewsBTC highlights that the crypto community is particularly bullish on Ethereum, as evidenced by the substantial number of contracts that expire ETH options. Most of these are call options, betting on Ethereum’s price rise, with a notably low put-call ratio of 0.36, signaling a strong bullish sentiment among traders. This optimistic outlook is further supported by significant buying activities from permanent holders, particularly institutions. On June 12, these investors made one of the largest daily purchases of Ethereum, buying 298,000 ETH, just shy of the record 317,000 ETH purchased on September 11, 2023. Such investment activity not only underscores the confidence in Ethereum’s long-term value but also indicates a market poised for a rally, especially with potential catalysts such as the approval of ETH spot ETFs on the horizon. Related Reading: Ethereum Withdrawals From Coinbase Top $1.2 Billion, What’s Going On? Moreover, QCP Capital’s analysis reinforces this sentiment, noting Ethereum’s higher implied volatility than Bitcoin. This suggests that while the general crypto market might experience subdued activity by summer, Ethereum could see significant trading volumes and price action, particularly if the ETFs start trading live.

Ethereum price declined again and retested the $3,365 support zone. ETH could start a fresh increase toward $3,700 if it stays above $3,365. Ethereum is still holding the key $3,365 support zone. The price is trading below $3,550 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $3,500 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could form a double-bottom pattern and rise toward the $3,700 resistance. Ethereum Price Retests Key Support Ethereum price failed to gain pace for a move above the $3,580 and $3,650 resistance levels. ETH reacted to the downside like Bitcoin and declined below the $3,500 support. There was a sharp move below $3,420, but the bulls were again active near $3,350. A low was formed near the $3,350 level and the price is again rising. There was a move above the $3,380 and $3,400 resistance levels. The price was able to clear the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,649 swing high to the $3,350 low. Ethereum is now trading below $3,550 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. It seems like the price could form a double-bottom pattern and rise toward the $3,700 resistance. If there is a fresh increase, the price might face resistance near the $3,460 level. The first major resistance is near the $3,500 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,649 swing high to the $3,350 low. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $3,500 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. An upside break above the $3,500 resistance might send the price higher. The next key resistance sits at $3,580, above which the price might gain traction and rise toward the $3,650 level. A clear move above the $3,650 level might send Ether toward the $3,720 resistance. Any more gains could send Ether toward the $3,800 resistance zone. Downside Break In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,500 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near $3,380. The first major support is at $3,350. A clear move below the $3,350 support might push the price toward $3,250. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,120 level in the near term. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for ETH/USD is losing momentum in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI – The RSI for ETH/USD is now below the 50 zone. Major Support Level – $3,350 Major Resistance Level – $3,500
Ethereum is slipping after printing higher highs over the weekend. Considering price action, the coin is up roughly 5% from last week’s lows but is still trending below the all-important resistance at $3,700. Although ETH holders and traders are upbeat, prices must decisively close above this liquidation level, paving the way for more gains in […]
The Bitcoin market has witnessed significant shifts recently, influenced by macroeconomic factors and changing investor sentiments. Last week, digital asset investment products saw substantial outflows, which CoinShares attributed to several key economic updates. These included the release of US CPI data, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, and Producer Price Index (PPI) figures. These events seemed to spark a rapid surge in Bitcoin price, pushing it briefly towards the $70,000 mark before a swift downturn adjusted the valuation back to around $65,000. Related Reading: Metrics Signal Bitcoin Price Increase – But When Is Anyone’s Guess Market Shifts: BTC Faces Major Outflows While Some Altcoins Attract Investment So far, this fluctuation in Bitcoin’s price is part of a broader pattern of volatility that has characterized the digital currency market. Just last week alone, institutional and retail investors pulled back approximately $600 million from crypto funds, marking a significant retreat. CoinShares suggests that this could signal a growing trend of caution, amplified by a “hawkish stance” at the recent FOMC meeting, which may have encouraged investors to reduce their exposure to volatile assets like cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin, notably the most impacted, faced outflows totaling $621 million. Despite this, there was a silver lining as altcoins like Ethereum, Litecoin, and others saw minor inflows. Ethereum led with a $13 million increase, suggesting divergent investor confidence in altcoins compared to Bitcoin. This scenario presents a mixed view where Bitcoin struggles under selling pressure while select altcoins gain marginal traction. Meanwhile, the overall impact on the market has been palpable, with total assets under management dropping from over $100 billion to $94 billion within a week. Trading volumes also dipped significantly from their annual average, indicating a cautious approach by traders across the board. Regionally, while the US experienced the brunt of the outflows, countries like Germany saw inflows, suggesting a varied global response to the current economic climate. Bitcoin ETFs See Mixed Fortunes Despite a steady increase in the overall net inflows into US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which reached $15.11 billion in recent weeks, the sector experienced a downturn last week with a net outflow of $190 million per day, based on data from SoSoValue. In terms of market performance, Bitcoin’s value sharply declined, hitting a low of $65,398 last Friday. However, as of today, Bitcoin’s price has slightly recovered to $65,552, though it still shows a decline of 1.1% in the past day and 5.5% over the week. Speaking on Bitcoin spot ETFs, BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officer, Samara Cohen, has observed a gradual but steady interest in them despite their slower-than-expected uptake. According to Cohen, currently, the majority of Bitcoin ETF transactions, approximately 80%, are conducted by “self-directed investors” using online brokerage platforms. Cohen added that the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) is one of the ETFs launched this year, attracting attention from individual investors and hedge funds and brokerages, as indicated in the recent 13-F filings.

Bitcoin is facing intense selling pressure, but charts suggest strong support at $64,500 and again at $60,000.
The Ethereum Foundation is again in the news following its recent transaction involving millions of Ethereum (ETH) tokens. The non-profit organization’s Ethereum transactions are always significant, considering the impact they usually have on the second-largest crypto token. Ethereum Foundation Transfers $64.4 Million Worth Of ETH Crypto journalist Colin Wu revealed in an X (formerly Twitter) post that a wallet (0x8e…D052) linked to the Ethereum Foundation transferred 18,089 ETH ($64.4 million) to a new address (0x87…D812). On-chain data shows that the new address has yet to transfer these funds and that the ETH holdings have yet to be offloaded on the market. Related Reading: Solana Whale Shakes Market With $372 Million Transfer, Where Are The Coins Headed? Transactions involving the Ethereum Foundations are always concerning because the non-profit organization has a reputation for selling at the top. As such, the transaction of these funds is one to keep an eye on, considering that the potential sale of these tokens could mean that the Ethereum Foundation is again looking to catch ETH at the top. It is worth mentioning that the Ethereum Foundation has already sold over 1,700 ETH since the start of 2024 with on-chain analytics platform SpotOnChain, noting that these transactions have always occurred ahead of a price drop. Therefore, a potential price drop if these 18,089 ETH are eventually sold is a huge possibility. Despite this development, Ethereum’s outlook is very bullish, especially with Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas stating that the Spot Ethereum ETFs could begin trading by July 2. These funds are expected to spark a significant rally for the second-largest crypto by market cap, with crypto experts like Ash Crypto predicting that Ethereum could rise to $10,000 thanks to these Spot Ethereum ETFs. ETH To $10,000 Is The Most “Asymmetric Bet” Crypto analyst and trader Tyler Durden mentioned that the most asymmetric bet in crypto today is ETH reaching $10,000. He also highlighted Ethereum’s chart against Bitcoin and suggested that ETH was ready for that big move, considering it has traded sideways for eight months. The analyst also suggested that the Spot Ethereum ETFs will play a massive role in Ethereum’s rise to this price level. He stated that Wall Street went through a lot of effort to get the Spot Ethereum ETFs approved and that they would ensure that they make money from ETH while pumping its price. Related Reading: Bernstein Analysts Revise Bitcoin Target, $200,000 And $1 Million Become Main Focus Meanwhile, Durden boldly asserted that money would exit the Solana ecosystem and rotate to Ethereum. He claimed that Solana has lost its “main character and driver of liquidity”, which is why the money will flow into ETH. Interestingly, he mentioned that celebrities have “cannibalised,” which is why he believes that the capital rotation cannot happen the other way around with money moving from Ethereum to Solana. At the time of writing, ETH is trading at around $3,500, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from The Crypto Times, chart from Tradingview.com

Ethereum has seen a number of notable withdrawals that suggests that crypto whales are expecting a recovery in price. These large withdrawals has caused the ETH balances on centralized exchanges to fall to their lowest level since 2016. 336,000 ETH Withdrawn From Exchanges Crypto analyst Ash Crypto took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal a notable change in the amount of ETH that is being held on centralized exchanges currently. Notably, there has been a marked increase in the withdrawals of small and large investors alike, leading to the highest withdrawal trend of 2024 so far. Related Reading: DOGE To The Moon: This Dogecoin Metric Just Turned Bullish For The First Time Since 2020 The report focuses on the withdrawals from the Coinbase exchange, which is the largest crypto exchange in the United States. The uptick in the withdrawal trend saw a whopping 336,000 ETH withdrawn from the exchange’s wallets in just 48 hours. This translates to the highest withdrawal trend from the exchange so far this year. However, Coinbase wasn’t the only crypto exchange hit hard by the Ethereum withdrawals as the cumulative exchange addresses saw their ETH balances fall drastically. As the on-chain tracker Santiment revealed in a report, the total ETH held on centralized exchange wallets has fallen 8.6% in the last two weeks alone. These withdrawals have greatly impacted the exchange balances, causing them to fall to their lowest point in 8 years. This means that the last time that the exchange balances were this low was back in 2016, which is three bull markets ago. Will This Propel Ethereum Price To $10,000? Naturally, the withdrawal of Ethereum from exchanges is bullish given that this is a trend that suggests investors are choosing to hold their Ethereum coins rather than sell them. If coins were moving the other direction and being deposited on exchanges instead, it would’ve been bearish for the price as it meant that investors were looking to offload their holdings for profit. Related Reading: XRP Continues To Struggle Below $0.5, Ex-Ripple Director Reveals Why Price Action Remains Muted Crypto analyst Ash Crypto shares the sentiment that the withdrawals are bullish for the price. According to the analyst, with Spot Ethereum ETFs set to start trading in 2024 in addition to this, it means that the ETH price trading above $10,000 is just a matter of time. Presently, the ETH price is still closely following the Bitcoin trend. It has recovered above $3,500 once more after initially falling below this support level on Thursday. Nonetheless, it continues to nurse losses on the weekly chart, with CoinMarketCap data showing a decline of 7.88%. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Ethereum (ETH) bulls got a taste of fire on June 11th as the altcoin’s derivatives market witnessed a dramatic surge in long liquidations. According to data from Coinglass, this event marked the highest level of long liquidations since May 23rd, signifying a significant correction for traders who bet on rising prices. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Loses 14% In Last 7 Days – Will The Misery Worsen? Crimson Chart: Long Positions Liquidated Overconfident investors piled into long positions, essentially placing a wager that Ethereum’s price would climb. However, the market had other plans. An unexpected price drop sent shivers down the spines of these bulls, triggering a wave of liquidations. As the price dipped below a certain threshold set by the exchange (known as the margin requirement), these positions were forcefully closed to prevent further losses for the unfortunate traders. The result? A collective sigh of relief for some exchanges, but a hefty bill for liquidated bulls, totaling over $60 million on that fateful day. Positive Funding Rate Offers A Glimmer Of Hope While the market correction sent shockwaves through the Ethereum derivatives landscape, a silver lining emerged in the form of a positive Funding Rate. This metric essentially reflects the fees paid by traders holding short positions (betting on a price decline) to those holding long positions. In simpler terms, a positive Funding Rate indicates a stronger demand for long positions, suggesting that even amidst the carnage, some investors remain optimistic about Ethereum’s long-term prospects. This positivity is further bolstered by the fact that ETH’s Funding Rate hasn’t dipped into negative territory since May 3rd. A Temporary Hiccup? The jury’s still out on whether this event represents a fleeting blip or a more concerning trend. While the positive Funding Rate offers a glimmer of hope, the significant drop in derivatives activity paints a different picture. The past 24 hours have seen a worrying decline in both options trading volume (down 50%) and Open Interest (total outstanding contracts, down 2%). This suggests a potential flight from the market, with fewer participants actively trading options contracts or holding open positions. Ether Price Forecast Meanwhile, the current Ethereum price prediction by CoinCodex suggests a 2.46% rise to $3,636 by July 13, 2024. Despite this positive outlook, the market sentiment remains bearish. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 70 (Greed), indicating strong investor interest.

Ethereum (ETH), the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has created a perplexing scenario for investors recently. Despite a noticeable decline in its price, on-chain data reveals that large investors, often referred to as “whales,” are accumulating ETH. This could signal a potential buying opportunity, though technical indicators suggest a weakening uptrend, leaving Ethereum’s near-term future uncertain. Related Reading: Solana Searching For Direction: Will SOL Break Free Or Fall Flat? Ethereum Whales See Opportunity In Price Dip In recent analysis by NewsBTC, it was revealed that wallets holding over 10,000 ETH have been steadily acquiring more tokens since the end of May. This period of accumulation, based on Glassnode data, coincides with a drop in Ethereum’s price from around $3,074 to its current price of $3,670. The significant increase in holdings by these large investors suggests that they see the current price decline as an attractive entry point, anticipating a future price rise. Adding to the bullish sentiment, CryptoQuant’s Netflow data for Ethereum has shown a dominance of negative flows in recent weeks. This means more ETH is leaving exchanges than entering them, a traditional indicator that investors are holding onto their ETH rather than selling it. This behavior can reduce the available supply on the market, potentially pushing prices up in the long run. Related Reading: $2 Billion Crypto Funds Flow Into Market On Rate Cut Buzz Technical Indicators Raise Red Flags Despite the optimistic signs from whale accumulation and exchange outflows, technical indicators paint a less rosy picture. Ethereum has been trading in a narrow range around $3,600 for the past three days, showing a slight decline of approximately 0.8% today. While the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains above 50, indicating a slight uptrend, it is currently on a downward trajectory. If this trend continues and the RSI falls below the neutral line, it could suggest a potential price dip.

This bearish technical outlook contrasts sharply with the positive on-chain data, creating a complex situation for investors trying to predict the market’s next move. Market Awaits A Significant Catalyst The near-term future of Ethereum appears to hinge on the emergence of a significant catalyst. Broader market sentiment could play a crucial role, with a positive shift potentially reigniting the uptrend. Additionally, upcoming news or developments specific to the Ethereum network could also serve as a catalyst for price movement. Successful upgrades or increased adoption of decentralized applications (dApps) built on the Ethereum blockchain could trigger renewed investor interest and drive prices higher.

The cryptocurrency market is buzzing with renewed optimism as investment funds witness a historic inflow surge. CoinShares, a leading digital asset manager, reported a record-breaking $2 billion influx into crypto funds in just one week, surpassing the entire month of May’s net inflows. This positive trend, now spanning five consecutive weeks, has propelled total assets under management (AUM) in crypto funds back above the coveted $100 billion mark, a level last seen in March 2024. Related Reading: Solana Searching For Direction: Will SOL Break Free Or Fall Flat? Bitcoin ETFs Fueling The Fire Bitcoin, the undisputed king of cryptocurrencies, remains the primary focus of investor interest. The recent launch and sustained inflows into US-approved spot Bitcoin ETFs are a major driver of the current market sentiment. These exchange-traded funds, which allow investors to hold Bitcoin without directly owning the digital asset, saw $890 million pour in on June 4th alone, marking their third-largest inflow day ever. This enthusiasm for Bitcoin ETFs suggests a growing appetite for regulated and accessible ways to participate in the crypto market, potentially attracting a broader range of investors. Ethereum Shines Bright, Altcoins Show Promise While Bitcoin takes center stage, Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, is also enjoying a strong run. Ethereum funds raked in nearly $70 million last week, marking their best week since March 2024. CoinShares attributes this positive inflow to investor anticipation surrounding the upcoming launch of spot Ethereum ETFs in the US. The approval of these ETFs could further legitimize the Ethereum ecosystem and unlock significant investment potential. Beyond the top two coins, altcoins like Fantom and XRP are also experiencing a resurgence in investor interest, with inflows of $1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. This broader market participation suggests a potential return of investor confidence across the crypto landscape. CoinShares said it observed that inflows were unusually widespread across nearly all providers, coupled with a continued reduction in outflows from incumbents. They attribute this shift in sentiment to weaker-than-expected macroeconomic data in the US, which has heightened expectations for an imminent monetary policy rate cut. Total crypto market cap at $2.4 trillion on the daily chart: TradingView.com Crypto Price Stagnation, Economic Uncertainty Despite the surge in fund inflows, cryptocurrency prices haven’t exhibited a corresponding significant upward movement. This disconnect could be attributed to several factors, including lingering investor uncertainty surrounding the future of US economic policy.

Ethereum price failed to clear the $3,720 resistance. ETH declined again and is now at risk of more losses below the $3,550 support zone. Ethereum started a fresh decline from the $3,720 resistance zone. The price is trading below $3,650 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $3,680 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could extend losses if there is a close below the $3,550 support. Ethereum Price Dips Again Ethereum price attempted a decent increase above the $3,650 resistance zone. ETH even spiked above $3,700 but the bears were active. A high was formed at $3,710 and the price started a fresh decline. There was a sharp decline below the $3,660 and $3,650 levels. A low was formed near $3,565 and the price is now consolidating losses, like Bitcoin. Ethereum is now trading below $3,650 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh increase or a recovery wave, the price might face resistance near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,710 swing high to the $3,565 low. The first major resistance is near the $3,640 level. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $3,680 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The trend line is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,710 swing high to the $3,565 low. An upside break above the $3,680 resistance might send the price higher. The next key resistance sits at $3,720, above which the price might gain traction and rise toward the $3,750 level. If the bulls push Ether above the $3,750 level, the price might rise and test the $3,800 resistance. Any more gains could send Ether toward the $3,880 resistance zone. More Losses In ETH?

Following the recent price spike that brought Ethereum (ETH) close to the $4,000 mark, the second-largest cryptocurrency has experienced inflows and renewed market enthusiasm. This comes in response to the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) approval of Ethereum ETF applications by major asset managers. Best Week For Ethereum Since March According to a report by CoinShares, digital asset investment products have witnessed a total of $2 billion inflows, contributing to a five-week consecutive run of inflows amounting to $4.3 billion. Additionally, trading volumes in exchange-traded products (ETPs) have risen to $12.8 billion for the week, a 55% increase from the previous week. Notably, inflows have been observed across various providers, indicating a turnaround in sentiment. Incumbent providers have also experienced a slowdown in outflows, reinforcing the positive market sentiment. Related Reading: Solana Searching For Direction: Will SOL Break Free Or Fall Flat? As seen in the image above, Bitcoin (BTC) continues to dominate the market, with inflows totaling $1.97 billion for the week. On the other hand, short Bitcoin products saw outflows of $5.3 million for the third consecutive week. Similarly, Ethereum has also seen a notable surge in inflows, recording its best week since March with a total of $69 million, which for CoinShares is likely a reaction to the unexpected SEC decision to allow spot-based ETFs on Ethereum. Differing Perspectives On ETH’s Price Despite the positive developments, Ethereum’s price has struggled to maintain bullish momentum, failing to retest its yearly high of $4,100 reached in March. On Friday, the price dropped as low as $3,577. However, Ethereum addresses holding more than 10,000 ETH have increased by 3% in the past three weeks, indicating a significant spike in buying pressure.

On the other hand, crypto analyst Lark Davis highlights that Ethereum’s supply on exchanges is at an eight-year low, suggesting that the upcoming ETFs could cause a “massive supply shock” and potentially lead to a substantial increase in ETH’s price. Ultimately, as Ethereum’s price remains uncertain, market participants eagerly await the next movements in the cryptocurrency. As investors and analysts closely monitor the market dynamics, the question of whether a breakout above $4,000 or a retest of lower support levels at $3,500 awaits an answer. The second-largest cryptocurrency on the market is currently trading at $3,690, down 6.5% in the past two weeks. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
