Ethereum To Remain Under Bearish Pressure As Taker Buy/Sell Ratio Drops

Amidst the general financial market crash in early August, Ethereum (ETH) lost about 30% of its value, falling to $2,226 per unit. Notably in the last few weeks, the prominent altcoin has shown much resilience climbing back into the $2,600 price region. Albeit, this recent price retracement is accompanied by much uncertainty on how long Ethereum can sustain such upward momentum. Commenting on this dialogue, CryptoQuant analyst ShayanBTC has postulated that Ethereum may likely resume its bearish course. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Wobbles As Inflation Sees 210,000 Added To Circulation Ethereum Price To Suffer From Sellers’ Dominance  In a QuickTake post on Saturday, ShayanBTC shared that the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio indicated that Ethereum may be set for more price loss in the coming days. To explain, the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio is an analysis tool that gauges the balance between aggressive buying and selling activity. It is calculated based on the volume of taker buy orders and taker sell orders.  As common with other indicators, a Taker Buy/Sell ratio above one suggests there is an upward market momentum with more aggressive buyers than sellers and a ratio below one represents a downward market pressure with the opposite scenario. According to ShayanBTC, after recently failing to surpass the $3000 price resistance, Ethereums Taker Buy/Sell Ratio declined drastically as evidenced by the assets price movement. As expected, the metric also experienced a rebound following ETHs recent price gains. Albeit, the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio could not rise above 1 staying in the zero region, which indicated a lack of sufficient buying pressure allows the sellers to retain market control. However, ShayanBTC reports that the TakerBuy/Sell Ratio has once again declined indicating that sellers are preparing to offload their assets, potentially causing an Ethereum price fall. The analyst calls for caution, stating that the ETH market will require a massive rise in demand to avoid resuming the downward price movement. Related Reading: Brace For Impact: Ethereum Price Could Plunge To $1,200 In December, Says Expert ETH Price Overview According to data from CoinMarketCap, Ethereum currently trades at $2,610 reflecting a minor 0.61% gain in the last day. However, the assets performance on larger time frames is still unimpressive with a decline of 23.93% in the last month. With persistent gains, the most prominent altcoin is set to encounter an early resistance at the $2,700 price region. If buying pressure proves sufficient, ETH could move past this barrier rising as high as $3,000. On the other hand, a massive selling pressure as indicated by the Taker Buy/Sell ratio can force the assets price as low as $2300.

Ethereum Price To Hit New All-Time High If This Happens: Crypto Analyst

Crypto analyst Poseidon (@CryptoPoseidonn) has released a detailed price prediction for Ethereum (ETH). His analysis, delivered to his 123,000 followers on social media platform X, revolves around the pivotal $2,160-$1,900 price range which has historically served as a significant high-timeframe (HTF) support since the summer of 2021. ETH Price Analysis: $8,000 Is Possible If According to Poseidon, Ethereum recently retested what he describes as the “most crucial support level on the chart” after a significant breakout earlier in the year. This price zone has consistently acted as a key battleground for bulls and bears, making it a central focus of technical analysis. “Early in 2024, we broke out of this level, leading to a substantial price increase because this was the only resistance holding us back. Now, after 200 days, we are back at the same level, and for me, buying ETH here is an opportunity,” Poseidon detailed in his analysis. Related Reading: Bigger Risks More Returns: Ethereums Volatility Surpasses Bitcoins by 50%, Data Shows The resilience of the $1,900 support level is critical to Ethereum’s bullish outlook. A breach below this level without quick recovery would likely indicate a cycle top and could precipitate a drop to as low as $1,000, marking a significant reversal in the prevailing market trend. However, Poseidon assesses this risk as low, expressing confidence in the support’s reliability: “I find this scenario highly unlikely. I believe the price will bottom out in this range, marking a significant HTF low.” Looking forward, Poseidon sets conditional targets that rely on Ethereum reclaiming and stabilizing above certain price thresholds. Initially, ETH needs to breach the $3,000 mark, followed by $3,500, to set the stage for a potential rally to new highs. “If we manage to surpass $5,000, I think $7,000-$8,000 is realistic. Although I believe we could go much higher, anything above $8,000 would be risky for me to stay in longs. Id be extremely cautious and would sell quickly if the daily trend breaks down,” he stated. To justify these targets, Poseidon employs Fibonacci retracement levels, a common tool among traders for predicting potential reversals, support, and resistance levels based on prior market movements. These projections, however, are contingent on the market maintaining its structure without significant trend breaks. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Ready For 75% Breakout To $4,723, Heres Why The transition to a bullish market phase for Ethereum hinges on several key technical indicators. First, Ethereum needs to reclaim and hold the 200-day EMA to signal strengthening momentum. Second, the crypto asset must maintain support above the range low which is crucial for continued bullish sentiment. Third, overcoming the daily supply zone from $3,100 to $3,200 will likely test Ethereum’s resilience, which if successful, could solidify the asset’s upward trajectory. Poseidon elaborates on the challenges of this bullish flip, noting the current bearish sentiment and the difficulty of breaking above these resistance levels. “While were sitting at a strong weekly and monthly support level, were still in a downtrend. To confirm this level as the bottom, we need to shift the daily trend to bullish again.” Adding to his technical analysis, Poseidon highlights the H8 timeframe and its EMA200 as the “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time) for trend determination. “Ive studied the H8 EMA200 on ETH since 2018, compared it with other EMAs and timeframes, and I can confidently say that the H8 EMA200 is the GOAT,” he asserts. This particular timeframe and moving average provide a unique insight into shorter-term price movements and are key to Poseidon’s trading strategy. At press time, ETH traded at $2,753.90.

Ethereum ETFs Witness Stellar Start As Trading Soars; Analyst Sees ETHs Price Reaching $8,000 In Q4

Ethereum ETFs (exchange-traded funds) began trading on Tuesday, generating significant volume within the first 2 hours of trading. Interestingly, the Ethereum ETFs ranked among the top 1% regarding ETF volume.  Related Reading: Analyst Says Solana Price Will Surge 1,000% To $1,800, Heres When Ethereum ETFs Surpass Traditional Launch Volumes According to Bloomberg ETF expert Eric Balchunas, the ETH ETFs traded $361 million in the first 90 minutes on launch day, surpassing the typical volume seen at the launch of traditional ETFs. Blachunas said: Here’s where we at after 90 minutes. $361m total. As a group that number would rank them about 15th overall in ETF volume (about what $TLT and $EEM trade), which is Top 1%. But again compared to a normal ETF launch, which rarely see more than $1m on Day One, all of them have cleared that number and then some. Matthew Sigel, head of digital asset research at asset manager VanEck, highlighted the significance of these figures in the first hours of trading, noting that Ethereum ETFs saw more than 50% of trading volume compared to Bitcoin’s $610 million on day one, indicating strong investor interest in Ethereum. However, how these numbers will fare at the close remains to be seen. Bitcoin ETFs saw $4.6 billion in volume on their first day of trading in January, which may indicate the future performance of these newly approved index funds for the second-largest cryptocurrency on the market. ETHs Price Targets Soar Crypto analyst Doctor Profit shared a report highlighting a potentially massive parabolic move for Ethereum’s price this year in the wake of the expected inflows in the new Ethereum ETF market.  While some anticipate a correction due to the “sell the news” phenomenon, Doctor Profit argues that the market has already factored in the ETF launch but has yet to consider the significant inflows of USD that will flood into the Ethereum ETFs.  With Ethereum’s market cap being three times smaller than Bitcoin’s, Doctor Profit believes that every dollar invested in ETH is expected to have three times the price impact compared to Bitcoin, positioning Ethereum favorably for substantial price gains. Furthermore, the analyst contends that while Ethereum’s Grayscale ETH Fund sell pressure is comparable to the Bitcoin ETF launch, the impact is expected to be less severe.  Related Reading: Helium (HNT) Rockets In Value With 41% Rally Heres Why Looking ahead, Doctor Profit has set expected price targets for Ethereum in the coming months, including a potential target between $4,500 and $5,500 by Q3 2024, indicating steady but modest growth.  Moving into Q4 2024 and Q1 2025, the price range is expected to expand from $5,500 to $8,000. However, it is in Q2 2025 that Ethereum is expected to significantly jump, with price targets ranging from $8,000 to $14,000.  At the time of writing, ETH is trading at $3,444, showing sideways movement with no significant change from yesterday’s price, despite the hype surrounding the launch of the ETF market.  Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

Will Ethereum Skyrocket? Crypto Analyst Predicts $6,000 By September

Popular crypto analyst degentrading (@degentradingLSD) has made a bold prediction that Ethereum will reach $6,000 by September 2024. This prediction comes in response to an analysis by Mechanism Capital founder Andrew Kang, who expects Ethereum to underperform despite the imminent launch of US spot Ethereum ETFs. Andrew Kang’s analysis projects a continued downtrend for ETHBTC, with the ratio expected to range between 0.035 and 0.06 over the next year. In his detailed thread on X, Kang expressed skepticism about Ethereums potential, despite the ETF launch being just days away. Why Ethereum Could Reach $6,000 By September Degentrading, however, presented a counter-argument in a thread on X. Degentrading begins by examining the change in CME open interest (OI) from pre-ETF days to the present, noting a substantial increase of approximately $5 billion. He explains, Pre-ETF, it was very onerous to perform cash and carry on CME due to margin requirements. Hence, the upper bound of basis trades is probably capped at that amount. This insight suggests that the advent of the ETF could significantly ease trading constraints, potentially unlocking a large influx of capital. However, he tempers this by discussing the challenges posed by the extinction of prime brokers like Genesis, which complicates spot borrowing as a hedge against CME futures longs. According to degentrading, Unless market makers can frequently charge a bid/ask spread, they are effectively locking in a loss. Therefore, the sheer amount of CME basis trades has to be a minority. I would peg the figure at $1-2 billion max. This leaves an estimated $7 billion in potential inflows, a figure he describes as highly dependent on assumptions. Related Reading: Ethereum (ETH) Records Surge In Active Addresses Incoming Price Rebound? Degentrading contrasts Ethereums position with that of Bitcoin, criticizing sentiments from analysts like Eric Balchunas. Nothing in traditional finance is as exciting as tech. Bitcoin has the branding of digital gold or millennial gold. Golds market cap is approximately $15 trillion, he notes. In contrast, Ethereum is seen as a decentralized global settlement layer or world computer, with the US stock market already valued at $50 trillion. This, he argues, sets a much higher ceiling for Ethereum. He further explains that in his discussions with traditional finance (tradfi) professionals, there is more enthusiasm for ETH and even SOL compared to BTC. People are much more excited about ETH or SOL for that matter. Hence, I would peg the inflow conversion rate at half of Bitcoins, which translates to about $3-4 billion into ETH, degentrading asserts. One of the key points in degentradings argument is Ethereums relative illiquidity compared to Bitcoin. He highlights that while Ethereum is roughly one-third the size of Bitcoin, its liquidity is only about 10% of BTC. This means that an influx of $3-4 billion will materially move ETH, he emphasizes. This illiquidity could lead to significant price movements with relatively smaller capital inflows. Addressing the markets current positioning, degentrading points out the overall bleak sentiment on Crypto Twitter (CT), viewing it as the best technical setup for Ethereum. He notes, On the cusp of the ETH ETF launch, you have people setting expectations for $500 million of inflows over six months. This is the BEST technical setup for ETH. Related Reading: 3 Reasons To Invest In Ethereum, 1 To Stay Bitcoin-Only: Bitwise CIO An important factor in degentradings analysis is the anticipated conversion of Grayscales Ethereum Trust (ETHE) into an ETF. He suggests that ETHE will likely face much less selling pressure compared to the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) due to a lesser lender overhang. ETHE will also likely face MUCH LESS selling pressure than GBTC because of the much lesser lender overhang, he notes. Impact Of Cash And Carry Trades Andrew Kang responded to degentradings analysis, highlighting the involvement of large funds like Millennium, which owns $2 billion of the ETF. Kang points out that such funds engage in basis trades and are not long-only investment funds. Millennium by itself owns $2 billion of the ETF. They are not a long-only investment fund. They do these types of basis trades. Thats only one fund from an old filing, Kang stated. Degentrading acknowledged this but emphasized the cost implications of holding a cash and carry position. He argued that the cost of holding such positions nets out significant amounts, which impacts the market makers profitability. On that thought, the cost of holding a cash and carry would net out $300 million to Millennium and cost the market maker that amount, implying that the delta is borne by a naked delta on the futures, degentrading retorted. At press time, ETH traded at $3,362.90. Featured image created with DALL·E, chart from TradingView.com

Ethereum Crosses $1,900, Sets Stage for $2,400 Breakout 

Ethereum breaks $1,900 with a 5% jump. On-chain data supports a smooth climb to $2,000 and above.With Bitcoins price crossing above the $99,000 mark, Ethereum is gaining momentum. After topping the $1,900 mark, ETH registered a 24-hour high at $1,916. This marks a critical breakout, signaling a potential Ethereum bull run ahead. Will this surge of bullish momentum drive Ethereum to the $2,400 mark?Ethereum Price Analysis Signals Massive Breakout RunEthereum has surged nearly 5% today, forming a bullish engulfing candle and trading close to the $1,900 level. With a massive boost in buying pressure, Ethereum has surpassed the 50-day EMA at $1,853, marking the breakout of a long-standing support zone near $1,850.Ethereum Price ChartThe supply zone had kept bullish growth in check over the past couple of weeks. However, with the new bullish engulfing candle, the falling channel breakout rally in Ethereum, witnessed in late April, has finally begun.Noting the upside potential, the MACD and signal lines remain in positive territory, showing a new wave of bullish histograms. This reflects an increase in trend momentum, signaling a smoother rally ahead.The 23.60% Fibonacci level sets an immediate price target for Ethereum near the $2,000 psychological mark. However, the declining EMA lines suggest the next price targets are at $2,108 and $2,426.If the broader market maintains its bullish momentum, the breakout at the 23.60% Fibonacci level will likely push Ethereum to the $2,400 level.On the flip side, if buyers fail to hold the position, Ethereum could retrace to test the $1,600 mark.On-Chain Signals Clear Path to $2,000According to the global In/Out of the Money (GIOM) indicator by IntoTheBlock, Ethereum has shifted beyond the $1,858 zone. The newly formed in-the-money zone between $1,779 and $1,858 holds 7.65 million ETH owned by 7.35 million investors.As Ethereum enters a new zone extending from $1,858 to $2,039, the uptrend will likely experience a smoother journey to $2,000. In the at-the-money zone, 8.14 million investors hold 5.76 million ETH at an average cost of $1,927.IntotheBlockWhile the path to $2,000 appears smooth, the next "out of the money" zone, up to $2,492, contains a massive supply of 69.61 million ETH owned by 12.72 million investors. As a result, a potential pullback could occur once Ethereum crosses above the $2,000 mark.

Research Firm Projects Ethereum Explosion To $15,000 With ETF Inflows

Michael Nadeau, founder of The DeFi Report, has published a deep dive into the implications of the approval of spot Ethereum (ETH) Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) on the cryptocurrency’s price trajectory. This analysis follows on the heels of a significant regulatory nod from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which approved the 19b-4 applications for eight leading financial entities Grayscale, Bitwise, BlackRock, VanEck, Ark 21Shares, Invesco, Fidelity, and Franklin. These approvals, granted under a collective omnibus order on May 23, set the stage for the final steps, which involve awaiting S-1 registrations’ sign-offs before these spot ETFs can start trading. Why Ethereum Could Skyrocket To $15,000 The report draws upon projections by ETF experts at Bloomberg, such as James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas, suggesting that the inflows into Ethereum ETFs could range between 10-20% of those experienced by Bitcoin ETFs. “The logic behind these projections rests on a few key observationscurrently, there is less institutional interest in ETH, and it is inherently more complex than BTC. Also, the ETH futures ETF volume is considerably less than BTC’s, ranging from 10-20%, and ETH spot trading volumes are roughly half of BTC’s,” Nadeau explains. He added that “ETH is more difficult to understand than BTC. ETH futures ETF volume is less than BTC (10-20%). ETH spot trading volumes are less than BTC (about 50%). ETH is about 1/3 of BTCs market cap.” Related Reading: Ethereum Spot ETFs: Report Shows Grayscale Could Keep ETH Price Down With $110M Daily Outflows However, according to the researcher, the dynamics of Ethereum offer a unique perspective when compared to Bitcoin. “Ethereum validators do not incur the substantial operating expenses that Bitcoin miners do, which mitigates the structural sell pressure on the asset,” Nadeau states. This difference is critical in understanding the supply-side dynamics of Ethereum compared to Bitcoin. Nadeau also delves into the current status of Ethereum on-chain activities. A substantial portion of Ethereum, approximately 38%, is effectively ‘soft locked’ across various mechanisms like staking contracts and DeFi applications. This scenario, as Nadeau points out, “helps reduce the available circulating supply, contributing to a decrease in ETH balances on exchanges to levels not seen since 2016currently, this stands at less than 11% of the circulating supply.” The concept of reflexivity in Ethereum’s market behavior also receives significant attention in Nadeau’s report. “ETH is more reflexive than BTC. This reflexivity could be expressed with price action leading onchain activity, which leads to more ETH burned, which can further drive narratives, more price action, more onchain activity, and more ETH burned,” Nadeau elaborates, suggesting a cyclic effect that could significantly amplify Ethereum’s market presence and valuation. Related Reading: Ethereum Deposits At 4-Month High: Whales Preparing For Selloff? Exploring potential market scenarios, Nadeau questions the extent of rebalancing that might occur from spot Bitcoin ETF holders towards Ethereum, the attractiveness of a 50/50 BTC and ETH allocation, and the potential shift of institutional focus towards Ethereum. He hypothesizes, “If momentum hits ETH, will we see the ‘reflexivity flywheel’ kick into gear? How many institutions are on the sideline right now, having missed BTC? Will they go all in on ETH?” In concluding his analysis, Nadeau presents a valuation framework that anticipates the cryptocurrency market reaching a $10 trillion market cap. He states, Given our fundamental views on ETH, we think its more likely that ETH will outperform Bloombergs projections of 10-20% of BTCs net inflows. Under this scenario and projects that “ETH could command a market cap at cycle peak of $1.8 trillion, which would price ETH at approximately $14,984 (3.9x), assuming no change in supply.” He continues, “For reference, if Bitcoin reaches a $4 trillion market cap, that would price BTC at $202,000 (2.8x) at cycle peak. At press time, ETH was trading at $3,823, still around 29 % away from its 2021 all-time high. Featured image created with DALL·E, chart from TradingView.com

DeFiance Capital Foresees ETH Soaring To $4,500 Pre-Ethereum ETF Trading

As the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved all the spot Ethereum ETF applications, despite increased regulatory uncertainty surrounding the cryptocurrency, investors are becoming more optimistic about the potential for ETH’s price to reach new heights.  Bullish Sentiment Surrounds Ethereum ETF Approval  DeFiance Capital Founder and CIO Arthur Cheong predicts that ETH could reach an annual high of $4,500 before the newly approved index funds begin trading, surpassing its mid-March high of $4,096. This projection falls just short of ETH’s all-time high of $4,878 during the 2021 bull run. In addition, a survey conducted by WuBlockchain in the Chinese community revealed that 58% of respondents believe that ETH has the potential to rise to $10,000 or even higher in this market cycle.  Related Reading: Kickstarting The Bitcoin Bull Run: Expert Says $70,000 Is The Level To Beat The recent regulatory pivot by the SEC towards approving Ether ETFs has intensified bets on further price gains. In the seven days following the announcement, ETH experienced a 26% surge, marking the largest weekly advance since the 2021 crypto bull market.  This development brings hope to speculators, considering the success of US spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have amassed $59 billion in assets since their record-breaking debut in January.  However, spot Ethereum ETFs will not participate in staking, earning rewards by pledging tokens to maintain the Ethereum blockchain. This omission could potentially dampen interest in these funds in comparison to holding the tokens directly. Although additional SEC approvals are required before issuers such as BlackRock and Fidelity Investments can launch their products, the timeline for these releases remains uncertain. As of now, ETH is trading around $3,900, with expectations of further upside potential. Options Bets Signal Potential Climb To $5,000 According to a Bloomberg report, analysts such as Pepperstone Group Head of Research Chris Weston believe that pullbacks in ETH are buying opportunities as the risk remains skewed to the upside.  Interestingly, as seen in the chart below, some traders are placing bullish options bets, with concentrations signaling a potential climb to $5,000 or more. Furthermore, ETHs volatility, as indicated by the T3 Ether Volatility Index, is expected to be greater than that of Bitcoin, highlighting the potential for larger price swings in the second-largest digital asset. Related Reading: Ripple CTO Addresses Curious Price Link Between XRP And XLM Insights from the futures market, particularly the level of open interest in Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Ethereum futures, provide evidence of institutional demand for regulated exposure to cryptocurrencies.  While open interest in CME Ether futures is growing, it remains significantly lower than that of CME Bitcoin futures. This suggests relatively less institutional exposure to Ether and could potentially impact initial inflows into Ether ETFs. Nevertheless, as the approval of Ethereum ETFs opens up new avenues for investment and speculation, the market is closely watching ETH’s price performance, with bullish sentiment and optimistic predictions prevailing among investors.
