The Ethereum price is currently in a consolidation phase between $1700 and $1577, but a breakout above $1700 could trigger a significant pullback in the downtrend, potentially pushing the price up by 8%. However, if the support level at $1577 is broken, the price could fall by 8.5% to $1450.
Bitcoin (BTC) may present a favorable opportunity to buy at a support zone with a "100% long hit rate" at $23,000-$24,000, according to analysis by Capriole Investments, which cites historical price floors and the average miner's electricity cost as supporting factors.

Ethereum's price has been declining, leading to concerns among investors, but there are two factors to consider: a drop in user activity and transaction volume on the Ethereum blockchain, which may be due to users migrating to faster and cheaper Layer 2 blockchains, and selling by Ethereum "whales" and insiders, including co-founder Vitalik Buterin, which could be attributed to profit-taking and security measures rather than a lack of confidence in Ethereum's future prospects. Despite the market's overreaction, Ethereum remains a strong investment with its dominance in various business segments and ongoing development plans.
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. Competitors such as Solana are also benefiting from stablecoin volumes, and there is an increased likelihood of Ether's price dropping below the $1,600 support level.
