Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has been experiencing price fluctuations in recent days.
The digital asset is currently trading around $3,300, down from recent highs near $3,400. This price movement comes as the newly launched spot Ethereum ETFs see mixed investment flows.
On July 23, several spot Ethereum ETFs were introduced to the U.S. market. Many investors expected these new investment products to drive Ethereum’s price higher.
However, the initial response has been mixed. Since the ETF launches, Ethereum’s price has actually decreased by about 6.5%.
The price decline was partly due to significant capital outflows from these ETF products in the first few days after their launch.
Recent data suggests this trend may be changing. On July 30, the nine U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs recorded net inflows of $33.67 million, ending a four-day streak of negative flows.
It’s worth noting that not all ETFs saw positive flows. The Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) reported withdrawals of $120.28 million on the same day. Despite this, the overall trend turned positive, which could be a good sign for Ethereum’s price.
The total daily trading volume for these spot Ethereum products has been decreasing. On Tuesday, it amounted to $563.22 million, down from $773.01 million on Monday and $933.86 million on Friday.
This decline in trading volume might indicate that the initial excitement around the ETF launches is cooling off.
From a technical analysis perspective, Ethereum is currently facing resistance around the $3,400 level. This resistance coincides with both the 50-day and 100-day exponential moving averages (EMA).
If Ethereum’s price can break above this level, it might be able to climb towards the $3,500 mark. Some analysts suggest that if this happens, Ethereum could potentially reach the $4,000 level, which would represent a significant increase from its current price.
However, there are also signs that Ethereum’s price could move lower in the short term. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), a technical indicator used to measure the speed and change of price movements, is currently in negative territory at 49. This suggests that market conditions might favor a downward move.
If Ethereum’s price falls below the $3,240 level, it could potentially drop further to around $3,085. Some analysts believe that the $3,000 level could serve as a strong support, limiting any potential price drops in the near future.
