Amid the back and forth that has rocked the crypto market, the Ethereum price has now found itself between a rock and a hard place. Right now, bulls and bears are still locked in a tug-of-war in a quest to take control of the digital asset. Here, there are now multiple levels to watch that could determine the next steps for the Ethereum price. Ethereum Price Close To Critical Demand Zone After falling back below $4,300 over the weekend, the Ethereum price is now trading very close to a critical demand zone. Crypto analyst ProfitMagnet highlights this in a TradingView analysis, showing the possibilities for the Ethereum price as it looks to test this zone. Related Reading: Fair Value Gap Suggests Bitcoin Price Is Going Higher, But Watch Out For This Crash So far, the Ethereum price has been consolidating between $4,200 and $4,300 after having faced resistance from $4,600-$4,800 in the last month. This has now led to what is the defining factor for the next phase of the move, and whether an uptrend or a downtrend will dominate. Assessing the current momentum, the crypto analyst notes that the recent uptrend was being supported by the bullish trendline starting from the August lows. However, there is still the matter of the bearish trendline that continues to limit the upward momentum, thereby putting a damper on the rally. At this point, it is now simply a matter of what level the Ethereum price retests, and what it successfully breaks through. From here, holding the demand above $4,300 is important if the bulls want to continue the rally. If they are successful, then the analyst does see the Ethereum price making its way back to $4,600-$4,800.

This would happen if bulls were unable to sustain the current demand, leading to a breakdown in the price. From here, the next major level would be the support at $4,000, pushing the Ethereum price toward the next major psychological level. What this trend shows is that while the market is leaning bullish, the bulls still have a relatively weak hold, meaning it could go sideways at any point. “The structure suggests a potential bullish reversal, but confirmation is required with a break of the bearish trendline and demand reaction,” the crypto analyst said.

This week is shaping up to be critical for the broader crypto market, marked by a prevailing sense of caution as prices consolidate ahead of their next direction. According to market analysis firm Bull Theory, the forthcoming Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting is on the horizon, and its outcome will largely hinge on the economic data released this week. Stability Or Further Pressure For Crypto? The Federal Reserve (Fed) has two primary mandates: to maintain inflation around 2% and to support employment levels. Currently, the landscape appears challenging, with rising unemployment juxtaposed against persistent inflation. Related Reading: Solana Rally in Sight? Traders Eye Breakout That Could Push SOL Toward $250 On September 9, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will revise the previous year’s non-farm payrolls (NFP). This annual revision often reveals downward adjustments, indicating weaker job growth than initially reported. For instance, last August, the revision was significantly lower than expected, with a downward adjustment of 818,000 jobs—the second worst in US history. This prompted the Fed to implement a more aggressive 50 basis point cut instead of the anticipated 25 basis points. If this repeats, it could raise the likelihood of another substantial cut, which would be viewed positively for liquidity and, by extension, the crypto market. The Producer Price Index (PPI) report, scheduled for September 10, will provide insights into inflation at the business level. A PPI reading that meets or falls below expectations is likely to boost market sentiment, while a higher-than-expected figure could dampen it. Last month, the PPI was unexpectedly high, coinciding with Bitcoin’s (BTC) peak near $124,000 before it began to cool. A softer PPI this time could grant the Fed more leeway to implement cuts, alleviating pressure on cryptocurrencies. Three Scenarios For Fed’s Upcoming Rate Cut Decision Following that, on September 11, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), a key inflation gauge, will be released. If CPI readings come in hotter than anticipated, it complicates the Fed’s decision-making process. For the crypto market, a CPI result at or below expectations would be the most favorable outcome. Also on September 11, initial jobless claims will be reported, indicating how many individuals filed for unemployment benefits last week. A higher-than-expected figure would signal weakness in the job market, thereby increasing pressure on the Fed to act. As all eyes turn to the FOMC meeting, the data collected this week will be instrumental in determining whether the Fed opts for a 25 basis point or a more aggressive 50 basis point cut. Related Reading: Dogecoin Leads Altcoin Rally Amid ETF Speculation: Is $1.50 the Next Big Target? There are three potential scenarios that could unfold. The first, a larger cut of 50 basis points, is likely if the NFP is sharply revised downwards, CPI and PPI data are soft, and jobless claims are high. This scenario, which indicates a rapidly weakening economy, could provide robust liquidity support for the market. However, the Bull Theory estimates this outcome has a 20%-25% probability. The second scenario, a standard cut of 25 basis points, appears more probable, with a 70%-74% chance. This would occur if NFP revisions are moderately weaker, CPI is slightly elevated, and jobless claims remain steady. While this would still be positive for crypto, it may not yield the same liquidity burst as a 50 basis point cut. Lastly, a scenario where the Fed pauses or delays changes is also possible. The firm asserts that if NFP data holds steady, CPI readings are hotter than expected, and jobless claims decrease, the Fed might take a more cautious approach, potentially leading to short-term pressures and further consolidation for Bitcoin and altcoins.
