Bitcoin's price dropped below $26,000 as the approval of a Bitcoin ETF was further delayed by the SEC, reversing the bullish gains from the Grayscale court decision earlier in the week. The crypto market also experienced a decline, with Ethereum's price going down by 3.5% and the overall market cap losing $11.2 billion. However, Maker and Toncoin managed to resist the bearish trend with positive gains. The global macroeconomic landscape also added to the uncertainty, as key economic data raised doubts about a potential interest rate hike.
Ether (ETH) is expected to outperform bitcoin (BTC) in the short term due to the likely approval of a futures-based ETF, creating buying pressure and potentially boosting ether's price, according to crypto market analytics firm K33 Research.
Ether's price has been supported by the Federal Reserve's injection of $300 billion, but doubts are growing about its ability to sustain this level due to bearish sentiment in the cryptocurrency market and declining metrics on the Ethereum network, including a decrease in the number of ETH investors and a decline in activity on decentralized applications.

This decrease in fees could potentially lead to increased network utilization and contribute to a market cap recovery for Ethereum.
Bitcoin and Ether fell below key price levels as cryptocurrency markets retreated following the US Federal Reserve's hawkish stance on interest rates, with more downward movement expected for Bitcoin as it fails to break its 50-day moving average, while Ether's failure to rally above the $1,650 support level could have significant implications for altcoin sentiment.

The supply dynamics of Ethereum have been affected by the drop in DeFi, NFT sales, and meme coin trading, with Ethereum being either deflationary or inflationary depending on the time frame.

Cryptocurrency prices surged in October, with Bitcoin and Ethereum both experiencing positive gains, while the launch of Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) contributed to the momentum in the market. Bitcoin saw a significant increase in price after the clearing of short positions in the futures market, and Ethereum's rise was driven by the anticipation of ETF launches.

Despite initial excitement about Ethereum's transition to proof of stake and the expectation of deflationary trends, the recent surge in global ETH supply has raised concerns about the network's inflationary nature and long-term financial health.

The CoinDesk Market Index (CMI) declined by -11% in the past quarter, with Bitcoin outperforming by -10.9% and Ether underperforming at -12.5%; however, Bitcoin and Ether have still shown impressive gains of 64% and 41% respectively for the year, highlighting their resilience as top-performing assets. Regulatory pressure on alternative tokens continues to drive a bifurcation in the crypto market between Bitcoin and Ether and other digital asset protocols, while the computing and DeFi sectors were relative outperformers in Q3 2023. The reduced level of risk, lower volatility, and decreased correlation with traditional equities suggest a maturation of the market or market illiquidity. Rising bond yields and tightening financial conditions may pose headwinds for crypto price appreciation, but the approval of a Bitcoin spot ETF could be a catalyst for breaking through these macroeconomic headwinds, enabling broader investor access and institutional adoption.
Investors are showing a preference for ether over bitcoin in a high interest rate environment, with ether futures ETFs experiencing low volumes and the ether-bitcoin ratio reaching its lowest point since July 2022. The underperformance of ether relative to bitcoin is attributed to the bear market and the potential for continued underperformance due to the higher interest rate environment. Bitcoin's status as a digital gold and its regulatory advantages also contribute to its favorability over ether.
The average Ethereum gas fee dropped to 8.8 Gwei, the lowest since October 2, 2022, due to a decline in users on DeFi applications, NFTs, layer-2 networks, and Telegram bots, resulting in reduced trading volumes and gas consumption by major entities on the network.

The forecast is based on expected improvements to the Ethereum blockchain, the growth of NFT transactions, the development of blockchain gaming, real-world asset tokenization, and positive regulatory developments.
