Like most digital assets, Ethereum witnessed a correction this week by losing over 5% in the last 24 hours while trading just above $2,500. While the increased on-chain activity could eventually make the bulls bet for the bounce back of Ether, a few experts differ with this perspective. Crypto veteran analyst Peter Brandt predicts further downfall in Ether to the extent of loss of over 60% from its present price, with no indication of changing. Currently, Ether is trading at a 42-month low. While Bitcoin re-tested the $70k mark early this week, Ether maintains a sluggish price action and is too far off from the experts’ target of $4k.

Ether’s Strong Bearish Movement Ethereum trades at its 42-month low against the world’s top digital asset, which suggests a bearish momentum. Zooming out of the price chart, Ethereum is on a downward spiral and a painful market correction for holders and investors. According to Brandt, Ethereum’s bearish sentiment will continue with no reassuring signs of reversal. Interesting to note that there was not a buy signal in $ETH In fact, chart remains bearish with unmet target at 1551 pic.twitter.com/sjkXyTQXU2 — Peter Brandt (@PeterLBrandt) October 31, 2024 In a Twitter/X post, Brandt shared a graph saying there’s no but signal for Ether. He added that Ethereum’s chart is bearish, with the bulls making it difficult to hit the $1,551 target. The 1-day-chart highlights the asset’s continued bearish moment momentum that started last August, characterized by a descending channel. Ethereum’s bearish flag is terrible news for traders and holders, suggesting a continued downtrend. Analyst Sees Bearish Metrics For Ethereum Aside from the bearish signals on the graph, Brandt also noted a few discouraging metrics for Ethereum. For example, Ether has dropped by over 5% over the last 24 hours, registering a sharper decline than Solana, at -4.91%, and Bitcoin, at -3.87%. Also, Brandt noted that the ETH/BTC trading ratio dipped to 0.03613, a 42-month low, as BTC continues to lead the broader crypto market. Although Ethereum is currently priced at $2,507, Brandt sees the asset dipping even further to $1,551, reflecting a possible 62% decline from its current value. $1,551 As Ethereum’s Unmet Target Brandt sees $1,551 as the asset’s unmet target and a key milestone. In his analysis, this level serves as the holders’ point of capitulation. The recent dips in price have affected investors’ and holders’ confidence, with Ethereum struggling to sustain the $2,400 support.

However, Brandt offers a more bearish outlook for Ethereum, saying that the asset will go downhill unless a new set of technical indicators emerges. Featured image from Tokpie, chart from TradingView
Ethereum (ETH) exhibited a dual-phased market movement in the last week rising by over 9% to reach a local peak of $2,711 on October 30, before declining by an almost similar measure. As the prominent altcoin now hovers around the $2,500 price mark, crypto analyst Ali Martinez has highlighted an important market condition that could ignite a price rebound. Related Reading: Ethereum Blobs Are ‘Insanely Bullish” For ETH Price: Breakthrough Research Ethereum Buy Signal Subject To Vital Price Support In an X post on November 1, Martinez stated that TD Sequential has indicated a buy signal on the ETH 4-hour chart. For context, the TD Sequential commonly used trading indicator to signal potential turning points in price trends and provide signals for trend exhaustion or potential price reversals. Following Ethereum’s decline over the past 48 hours, TD Sequential has flashed a buy signal, indicating a possible price recovery on the horizon. However, Martinez states that for this bullish signal to prove true, Ethereum must remain above the $2,480 support zone. A potential price drop below this support level would result in a further decline to $2,200, indicating a potential 12% decrease from the token’s current price. However, Ethereum is expected to rebound to around $2,700 if the specified support zone holds. Interestingly, fellow market analyst Michaël van de Poppe has provided some valuable insights into Ethereum’s price if this successful price recovery occurs. In a post on X, van de Poppe applauds the resilience of Ethereum despite the rise in US permanent job losses as revealed by the recent unemployment data by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. He also notes ETH has been a range-bound market oscillating between $2,200-$2,700 since August. However, van de Poppe states that if Ethereum returns above $2,700 in the next two weeks, the altcoin may surge to around $3,200 in the next few weeks, finally breaking out of consolidation. In addition, the crypto analyst continues to reiterate his projections of Ethereum to outperform Bitcoin in the coming months as the latter approaches its peak dominance level. Ethereum is expected to lead the “altcoin season” with predictions of hitting a five-digit value next few months.

Technical analysis suggests the days of the Ethereum price consolidation might be over very soon. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading with a 0.07% gain in the past 30 days, which reveals the current consolidation situation it finds itself under. However, according to a technical analysis on TradingView, the Ethereum price could be well on its way to reaching a new all-time high after 12 weeks of consolidation. Ethereum Price Completes Bottom Formation According to a technical analysis of the Ethereum price in the weekly candlestick timeframe, the cryptocurrency is currently in its 12th week of consolidation after a decline that ended in the first week of August. Interestingly, analysis reveals that the consolidation is at the bottom of the lower trendline in a Channel Up trend in the weekly timeframe that started as far back as June 2022. Related Reading: End Of The Road For Solana? Analyst Predicts 77% Price Crash To $40 Particularly, a close look at this Channel Up trend reveals that the Ethereum price action has been confined between its upper and lower trendlines in the past two and a half years. Fortunately, the trend is a bullish one with the creation of higher highs and higher lows, which suggests a bullish outlook for the Ethereum price. As it stands, the Ethereum price has been on an uptrend since the beginning of the week, essentially reversing last week’s declines. Consequently, the price has flipped from bearish to neutral on the weekly outlook and is now moving towards bullish. The only thing left is for the Ethereum price to keep pushing on this uptrend and flip above the weekly MA50 (50-Day Moving Average). A successful push above this level, according to crypto analyst InvestingScope, would not only signal an end to Ethereum’s prolonged consolidation but also set the stage for a rally toward the channel’s upper trendline. ETH On The Journey To Recording New Highs As it stands, the 1W Relative Strength Index has already crossed over its MA, lending charge to the momentum. All that’s left now is an Ethereum price break above the weekly MA50. A break above the MA50 on the weekly timeframe would confirm the shift from consolidation to bullish momentum, draw in fresh buying interest and open up Ethereum’s path to creating a higher high within the Channel Up structure. Related Reading: XRP Price Explosion Above $3 Is A Matter Of When, Not If: Analyst Reveals Timeline The Channel Up structure is structured in such a way that the creation of a new higher high at this point would necessitate a break above the current all-time high of $4,900. A touch of the upper trendline in the Channel Up would see the Ethereum price peaking above $5,500 before undergoing any major correction. “When that happens, aim for no lower than the All Time High (TP = 4,900),” the analyst said. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,631. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Price action in Ethereum has attracted the attention of investors and analysts alike, as it trades near a critical support level at $2,600. Analyst Ali Martinez has pinpointed this region as the critical threshold that Ethereum will cross before it makes its next significant move. Related Reading: Bitcoin Potential For Monetary Policy Sparks Growing Interest Among Central Banks If this support is sustained, according to Martinez, it shall serve as the catalyst in staging a rally to usher the cryptocurrency to the ambitious target of $6,000. However, things do not seem that smooth ahead as already some market observers and participants have opined that the existing support could break under pressure. #Ethereum is testing a key support zone at $2,400. If this level holds, we might see $ETH aiming for the channel’s upper boundary near $6,000! pic.twitter.com/W8J8WVy5CL — Ali (@ali_charts) October 26, 2024 Ethereum has begun forming a rising channel from July 2023. An ascending channel is a technical pattern in which two parallel trend lines represent the support and resistance level. Recently, the price of Ethereum stayed near the lower edge of this corridor. Martinez believes that Ethereum will rally from here, so everyone’s holding on tight. Important Support And Resistance Zones The ascending channel pattern does not occur by accident. It indicates the probable paths of Ethereum. The trend line acts as a resistance level in the channel, while the trend line at the bottom actually acts as a support level for the price to bounce. The move of Ethereum past $2,600 is also an important retest point that will act as a pivot for its new price target. Martinez believes this is a good risk-reward opportunity for the investor and recommends placing stops at around $2,00 to $2,150. The idea behind these stop-losses is to limit the potential losses, but they also open up upside in case Ethereum moves higher towards the upper trendline. This observation appears somewhat vague, as some analysts are expressing concerns about a potential breakdown at the $2,500 range. However, Martinez has not provided much insight into how this situation could still create favorable conditions for a rally to occur. Indicators Look Positive: On-Chain Data On-chain data shows 70% of Ethereum holders are profitable. Therefore, this positive attitude would be further supported in terms of the level of profitability that reduces the chances of big sellers. When there aren’t strong motives for selling, then an upward movement for Ethereum could easily be expected. Related Reading: Floki Inu Warning: Analyst Says ‘Prepare For The Crash’ – Details Robust Long-Term Projections Meanwhile, the future estimates for Ethereum have room for growth. The current market predictions reveal that Ethereum is trading about 6.5% lower than the predicted target for next month, which also means the asset is underpriced. More positive projections for the long term range from 173% possible returns in a year, according to figures by CoinCheckup. Such growth could probably give a push to Ethereum’s upward movement and form a firmer support base that may encourage price levels to stay high and stabilized.

Notably, Ethereum slipped to around $2,410 on Friday and has since remained in this price zone following a recent rejection at $2,500. According to Ali Martinez, ETH must maintain support at $2,400 to avoid breaking an ascending channel that stretches as far back as July 2023. #Ethereum is testing a key support zone at $2,400. If this level holds, we might see $ETH aiming for the channel’s upper boundary near $6,000! pic.twitter.com/W8J8WVy5CL — Ali (@ali_charts) October 26, 2024 Based on the analyst’s trading chart, a successful retest at the specified support zone will allow ETH to surge above the $3,000 mark before experiencing a consolidation between $3,350 – $3,750. Thereafter, another price breakout will occur which should push Ethereum’s price to the upper end of its ascending channel around $6,000, indicating a potential 142% gain on the asset’s current market price. However, If Ethereum bulls fail to hold the support at $2,400, the altcoin could fall by 40% finding a new support level at $1,500. To avoid significant losses in this high “risk to reward” situation, Ali Martinez has advised traders to put a stop loss between $2,150 – $2,300. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Says Ethereum Will Outperform Bitcoin And Solana, Is $12,000 Possible? Coinbase Premium Negative Index Signals Bearish Sentiment For ETH Market In other news, CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost has noted that the Ethereum Coinbase Premium Index is currently at -2 and is highly negative. According to Darkfost, this development indicates that US institutional investors or market whales are currently aggressively offloading their ETH holdings. For short-term traders, this is a strong bearish signal as Ethereum is likely to experience a downtrend in the coming days. However, Darkfost states that long-term traders may want to utilize such price decline as a perfect accumulation opportunity. At the time of writing, ETH trades at $2,473 per unit. While the altcoin might have recorded a minor gain in the past day, a decline of 6.47% and 6.27% in the last seven and thirty days, respectively, still leaves much for investors to desire. In addition, Ethereum’s daily trading volume, valued at $12.22 billion, reflects a 48.27% decline representing a reduced market liquidity and potential heightened price volatility.

Options expire day is done!$ETH bounced upwards, and now the macroeconomic weeks are kicking in. The question is: are we going to see some upward momentum or will it retest $2,000? Testing $2,750 again = breakout. pic.twitter.com/vi3JJ3tNeP — Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL) October 25, 2024 Notably, the US elections are set to be held in a fortnight, the results of which are expected to wield a significant effect on the crypto market. Moreover, there is still anticipation of a Fed rate cut in November which could avail liquidity for investing in volatile assets such as Ethereum. First, the analyst postulates that ETH could produce an upward momentum reaching $2750, a significant resistance level at which the token has suffered rejection thrice since August. However, van de Poppe predicts if the second-largest cryptocurrency retests at its price zone again, it will result in a breakout rising as high as $3,350. Alternatively, the crypto analyst forecast Ethereum may experience a price drop in line with its current consolidation pattern. In this case, ETH would initially retest at $2,300. However, amidst massive bearish pressure, the altcoin could fall to $2,000.

Traditionally, this high market activity indicates accumulation by large holders on the Ethereum network, signaling confidence in the asset’s long-term profitability. At press time, ETH trades at $2,445 reflecting a price decline of 1.67% in the past day. However, its daily trading volume is up by 57.97% and is valued at $23.14 billion. The recent dip in ETH’s price can be attributed to a recent controversial report on USDT stablecoin operator Tether, as well as reported Israeli attacks on Iran. Ethereum remains an investors’ favorite ahead of a highly anticipated crypto bull run. Multiple analysts have recently pinpointed a $10,000 price target citing reasons including historical performances in previous bull cycles. Featured image from Forbes, chart from Tradingview
A top crypto analyst has issued a bold prediction for Ethereum, forecasting it will outperform both Bitcoin and Solana in the coming months. Taking to social media platform X, a crypto analyst known pseudonymously as @IamCryptoWolf highlighted that Ethereum is still bullish, with price targets reaching up to $12,000. This analysis comes in light of a 6.22% decline in the price of Ethereum in the past seven days and a continued increase in the Bitcoin dominance. Analyst Says Ethereum Will Outperform Bitcoin Ethereum has mostly lagged behind Bitcoin in price performance since the current market cycle began, struggling to gain momentum above the $3,000 mark since July. Ethereum bulls have faced challenges in attracting significant inflows, which has kept the price below key levels while Bitcoin has surged. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whale Numbers Return To January 2021 Bull Market Levels, Is A New ATH Coming? Bitcoin recently climbed back above $67,000 and is now approaching its yearly high of $73,737. Solana has also found its way above $170 again and could continue on the momentum to break above its yearly high of $202. However, despite Ethereum’s underperformance relative to these two crypto heavyweights, crypto analyst @IamCryptoWolf believes the trend is going to reverse in the second half of the cycle. The analyst provided his Ethereum outlook in reference to its price movements on the 3-day candlestick chart. The chart shows Ethereum rebounding off the bottom trendline of an ascending triangle, indicating the potential for an upward move. Consequently, the analyst projected a full breakout of multiple price resistances when the momentum finally rolls into Ethereum. Should this breakout occur, @IamCryptoWolf predicts Ethereum will surpass Bitcoin and Solana in performance during the second half of this bull cycle. He further noted a price target range for Ethereum’s surge, placing the lower boundary at $8,428, with a high-end target reaching up to $12,000. This projected breakout has sparked renewed interest in Ethereum’s ability to regain a leading position, especially among investors who are still waiting for an altcoin rally phase led by Ethereum. What’s Next For ETH? At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,472, having lost about 3% of its value in the past 24 hours. This sort of performance has left many ETH investors feeling uncertain about the asset’s near-term outlook. According to data from IntoTheBlock, about 51.40% of addresses that bought in between $2,106.27 and $2,855.96 are in losses, not to talk of those that bought above $2,855.96. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Retests Bullish Channel At $65,000, Analyst Reveals What’s Next Interestingly, @IamCryptoWolf addressed this trend among ETH investors in another post on social media platform X. Here, he highlighted that Ethereum is still bullish despite the underperformance.

In a bullish trading week, Ethereum (ETH) surged by over 8% as its market price returned above the $2,600 price mark. However, amidst this rally, certain market developments have occurred which raises questions over Ethereum’s future price movements. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Consolidates: Preparing for the Next Move Higher? 50,000 ETH Flow Into Derivative Exchange – Price To Rise Or Fall? In a Quicktake post on CryptoQuant, an analyst with username Amr Taha reported there has been a positive net flow of over 50,000 ETH valued at $132.12 million on derivative exchanges. In this context, net flow measures the difference between the amount of ETH deposited and the amount of ETH withdrawn from derivative exchanges, which are standard trading platforms for products such as options and futures contracts. Therefore, a positive net flow indicates a higher amount of ETH has been deposited than withdrawn on the last day. Analyzing the implications of this development on Ethereum’s price, Amr Taha has postulated two situations. First, the analyst states that a positive net flow to derivative exchanges could indicate a potential rise in selling pressure as traders may be looking to offload their ETH either by opening a short position or selling through a futures contract at a predetermined price. Alternatively, a positive net flow may indicate that traders are depositing ETH to use as collateral for margin or future contracts betting that the price of ETH will rise, thus expressing confidence in the token’s profitability. Essentially, this massive positive ETH net flow holds significant potential to swing Ethereum’s price either way based on traders’ actions.

Meanwhile, the token’s daily trading volume is up by 12.89% and is valued at $17.06 billion. However, despite these positive metrics, data from CoinMarketCap shows that market sentiment towards the altcoin is largely bearish as investors perhaps anticipate a price retracement following the ETH’s recent gain in the last week. Interestingly, the Ethereum daily chart shows the token is approaching a key resistance level at $2,700 which has served as a strong rejection zone over the last two months. Albeit, the relative strength Index is still some significant distance away from the overbought zone indicating Ethereum’s price rally may be far from over and may break past this resistance level. In addition, analysts have observed an ascending triangle pattern on the ETH hourly chart indicating strong bullish potential to surge past $2,700 reaching as high as $2,870 in the coming days.

Ethereum has largely exhibited a sideways movement between $2,500 and $2,350 in the past seven days. This sideways movement has yet to give rise to a clear path as to how the crypto performs moving forward, denting the sentiment of many bulls. In an interesting analysis with the use of the TD Setup, crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlighted a critical price point for investors to watch on the ETH price trajectory. At the heart of this analysis is the $2,250 price point, a level that could be the line between a bullish recovery and a steep correction. ETH Price Must Hold $2,250 The TD setup is very popular among crypto analysts and investors. Historically, Ethereum has shown a clear reaction after breaking above or below the TD setup. Its reliability in pinpointing key reversal points has made it a go-to tool for analysts like Ali Martinez. Related Reading: Second XRP ETF Filing Hits The Market, How Did The XRP Price Respond? Using an ETH/US Dollar price chart that he shared on social media platform X, Martinez noted that the TD Sequential has made or broken the cryptocurrency’s price action in the past while also highlighting notable examples. Each time the ETH price broke above the TD setup resistance trendline, a strong bull run has always followed. On the flip side, when ETH dipped below the setup’s support line, it corrected by an average of 53%. The first significant breakout above the TD setup resistance triggered an 8,885% surge, which saw the ETH price reach an all-time high of $1,138 at the time. Conversely, the first time the ETH price broke below the TD setup, it corrected by 56.67%. The latest break above the TD setup occurred in March of this year, which saw the ETH price surge by about 113% as it crossed above $4,000 for the first time in two years. Recent price dynamics puts the TD setup around $2,250. According to Ali Martinez, breaking below this price point could trigger a significant price drop. If a historical 53% average were to repeat itself, Ethereum could correct to as low as $1,100. Current Market Snapshot As of the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at approximately $2,410, roughly 7% above the critical $2,250 threshold identified by the TD setup. While the ETH price has managed to stay above this level for now, its proximity to this key price level makes it a critical level to watch.

Therefore, a break below $2,250 could mean the final reversal from a bullish Ethereum to a bearish sentiment. Market sentiment towards Ethereum remains mixed at the moment. Sellers currently have the upper hand, but a break above $2,500 could set the path for a bullish momentum. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Analysts at British multinational bank, Standard Chartered have predicted that the price of Ethereum (ETH) could potentially climb to $10,000 in response to the anticipated political changes set to take place following the upcoming United States (US) Presidential elections. Standard Chartered Predicts Ethereum To $10,000 In a research note by the head of Standard Chartered crypto research, Geoffrey Kendrick, Ethereum could experience a dramatic rise to $10,000 if Donald Trump, the former US President wins the upcoming election. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Turns Green In October Once Again, Is The Bull Run Here? Delving into the potential impact of a Trump administration on the future of the digital asset industry, Kendrick predicts that both Ethereum and Solana (SOL) will outperform Bitcoin (BTC) significantly, reaching new all-time highs. The report posits that changes in a country’s political regime tend to have a significant influence on the trajectory of leading digital assets over time. Based on this observation, Kendrick expects Solana to significantly outperform Ethereum under a Trump regime. While Ethereum will witness significant growth and possibly maintain its rank as the top altcoin with the largest market capitalization, a Trump win could change the market dynamics, potentially triggering even higher gains and adoption for its competitor, Solana. On a different note, if the current US Vice President, Kamala Harris wins the upcoming elections, Kendrick’s report projects that Ethereum could surge to $7,000, marking a 30% or $3,000 drop from the projected $10,000 target under a Trump administration. However, under Harris’s leadership, Ethereum will solidify its position as the leading altcoin, potentially outperforming Bitcoin and Solana in gains. It’s important to note that Standard Chartered has cut down its earlier forecast for Ethereum by nearly 50%, underscoring the volatility and unpredictability of the market. In an earlier report, the multinational bank had predicted that Ethereum could reach $14,000 by 2025, driven by the approval of Spot Ethereum ETFs. Although Spot Ethereum ETFs have gained said approval and are now trading, Ethereum’s price remains significantly below $3,000. Nevertheless, the results of the US Presidential elections scheduled for November 5, could have a more bullish impact on Ethereum, potentially triggering a massive run to new highs. ETH Faces Drop To $1,600 If Key Support Fails While market experts deliver optimistic projections for Ethereum’s price, a prominent crypto analyst, Ali Martinez has taken a more bearish stance, predicting a significant decline for this altcoin if it fails to hold a crucial support level. Related Reading: Cardano Price Prediction: Analyst Forecasts ADA Price Rocket To $5 In an X (formerly Twitter) post on Monday, Martinez disclosed that if Ethereum can stay above the $2,300 support threshold, its price could breakout to new all-time highs of $6,000. On the other hand, if the top altcoin fails to maintain this level, it could trigger a massive drop to the next support at $1,600. As of writing, the price of Ethereum is trading at $2,432, and a decrease to $1,600 would represent a massive 34.21% plunge for the cryptocurrency.

According to data from CoinMarketCap, the price of Ethereum slipped by 10.23% over the last seven days in line with the general market negative movement. This crypto market downturn has been attributed to multiple factors including heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and rising liquidations of long positions. While Ethereum has experienced some rebound in the last day gaining by 3.21%, investors remain uncertain of a full price recovery with bearish sentiments raving through the market. Notably, an Ethereum ICO participant has now sold off a substantial amount of ETH intensifying concerns of a prolonged downward trend. Related Reading: Ethereum At Risk Of Further Decline: Top Investor Sets $2,150 Target If Support Breaks Ethereum ICO Wallet Continues Selling Spree, Offloads 40,000 ETH In Two Weeks According to data from blockchain analytics firm, Lookonchain, an Ethereum wallet with the address “0xBF4” moved 6,000 ETH worth $14.11 million to the Kraken exchange on Friday. So far, the address has been identified as an early Ethereum investor who acquired 150,000 ETH valued at $368 million in the asset’s initial coin offering (ICO) in 2014. Data from Lookonchain highlights this is the second ETH sale by “0xBF4” in the last week after the ICO participant initially sold 19,000 ETH, valued at $47.54 million over Wednesday and Thursday. Notably, this ETH whale has transferred out 40,000 ETH worth $101 million since September 22, holding a balance of 99,500 ETH valued at $238 million. Generally, massive token offloads by large holders e.g. whales are interpreted as bearish signals as they indicate a lack of confidence in the asset’s long-term profitability. Sales such as those seen from “0xBF4” may trigger a panic selling from smaller investors inducing a stronger downward pressure on Ethereum’s price.

According to analyst Ali Martinez, 108,000 ETH valued at $259.2 million have been transferred to exchanges in the last day. This massive sale activity indicates a heightened sentiment in the ETH market. Currently, Ethereum trades at $2,399 following its recent price rally. However, its daily trading volume has declined by 17.48% and is valued at $14.61 billion. If bearish sentiments persist, ETH could retrace to around $2,200 at which lies its next significant price level. However, amidst massive selling pressure, the altcoin could trade as low as $1,600. With a market cap of $291.40 billion, Ethereum continues to rank as the second largest cryptocurrency, with a market dominance of 13.47%. Featured image from NullTX, chart from Tradingview
Popular crypto analyst Il Capo of Crypto has returned to social media platform X after over two months of hiatus to drop an interesting outlook for Bitcoin and Ethereum in the coming months in light of the recent correction since the beginning of October. The analyst, which has been so big on a looming altseason since the beginning of the year, has revealed a bearish outlook for Bitcoin and even Ethereum (king of altcoins) in the short term. Known for his sometimes controversial and often contrarian predictions, Capo returned just as the market experienced a notable correction in October, sharing his bearish outlook for both Bitcoin and Ethereum. His latest prediction is that Ethereum could plummet as low as $1,800 before seeing any substantial recovery. ETH’s Predicted Decline Ethereum has already dropped by 10% in the past seven days and is currently trading around around $2,330, but according to Capo, this decline could worsen. He predicted that ETH might fall further into the $1,800 to $2,000 range, which is a possible 23% dip from its current price, before eventually rebounding. However, he believes an altcoin season will still materialize. Related Reading: Still Holding Your Hamster Kombat Tokens?

If that happens, I’ll be adding more to my altcoin bags. https://t.co/sx6u8wPNrK — il Capo Of Crypto (@CryptoCapo_) October 2, 2024 Capo’s track record of analysis since the beginning of the year shows a consistent belief in the upcoming dominance of altcoins. Throughout 2024, he has repeatedly emphasized the potential for altcoins, particularly Ethereum, to outperform Bitcoin as profits generated from BTC flow into smaller assets. However, the altcoin season has yet to materialize, and Bitcoin has continued to dominate the crypto investment scene. Time To Go Long On Ethereum? It’s worth noting that Crypto Capo’s predictions often have a certain lore attached to them. There is a running joke among some investors that whenever Capo makes a prediction, the market tends to do the opposite. This goes as far back as his prediction of Bitcoin falling to $12,000 last year, but the crypto eventually broke past resistance levels. Now, with Capo predicting the possibility of continued decline for Ethereum and Bitcoin amid October’s bullish market sentiment (often dubbed “Uptober”), it raises the question from many investors if his bearish call is far-fetched.

However, given the current inflow of investments and the crypto market, which has mostly rallied in October, it wouldn’t be surprising if Ethereum rebounds rather than experiences the significant drop Capo is forecasting. Naturally, many savvy whales and traders have seen the current decline as an opportunity to “go long” and accumulate more Ethereum in expectation of the resumption of inflows. This sentiment is reflected through the US Spot Ethereum ETFs, which witnessed $14.45 million in inflows yesterday despite the price correction. Interestingly, it is important to note that Capo’s analysis is only talking about a possible case and remains bullish for Ethereum in the long term.
