Potential $11B Ethereum Sell-off Looms if Key Price Level Plummets

Key Points

• Ethereum’s recent price fluctuations have sparked concerns about its long-term price action.
• Institutional buying of ETH ETFs is crucial to prevent Ethereum from falling below $2,745.

Ethereum’s price recently failed to consolidate above $3.9K, resulting in a 14% drop below this level.

The cryptocurrency market’s extreme volatility is exemplified by Ethereum (ETH) . In just four days, Ethereum experienced two significant price swings, a 37% drop following pro-tariff sentiments, and a surge after a pro-ETH post.

High Stakes for Ethereum

Despite being 15% up from its opening on election day, Ethereum is still 30% below its $4,016 peak during a rally.

In the past week, Ethereum broke its support zone three times, falling below $2,800, a drop three times greater than that of Bitcoin (BTC) . This decline wiped out over 14% of Ethereum’s gains, pushing millions of addresses into the red.

The largest 24-hour crypto liquidation ever, triggered by tough economic policies, wiped out $10 billion in one stroke. The ETH/BTC pair hit a four-year low, with daily declines over 3%. With little capital flowing from Bitcoin to Ethereum, the future price action of Ethereum is becoming increasingly uncertain.

Ethereum’s Future in Question

Ethereum ETFs have been performing well, with record inflows of $307.8 million in a single day. Blackrock’s ETHA alone attracted $276.2 million.

This institutional buying is crucial to prevent Ethereum from falling below $2,745. If it falls below this level, a significant sell-off could be triggered.

However, with inflation teetering and investor sentiment on Ethereum cooling during these volatile times, if ETF inflows falter, Ethereum could lose the remaining 15% from the election day rally last year.

The conditions for Ethereum to break the $4,000 resistance are not yet in place. Until then, Ethereum’s stakes remain high.
