Ethereum Price Today: Will This Sell Signal Trigger ETH Crash?

Highlights

  • Ethereum price today hovers around $3,500, a critical hurdle.
  • Rejection at $3,500 could lead to a 17% correction to below $3,000 support level.
  • A breakout above $3,500 could push ETH to revisit $4,000.

Despite the recent Bitcoin crash, Ethereum (ETH) price trades today at $3,671.7 as of 11 PM. Surprisingly, ETH performance during the recent crash is much better than most altcoins, but this sell signal could cause issues and potentially trigger a crash for ETH.

Ethereum Price Chart Today

*Ethereum price updated as of 11 PM.

Ethereum’s innovative smart contract technology has made it a standout altcoin since its inception in 2015. Continuous major network upgrades ensure Ethereum stays ahead in smart contract innovation. The latest upgrade, Cancun, launched on March 13, 2024.

Ethereum Price Outlook

ETH’s year-to-date (YTD) performance continues to increase and currently sits at 33%. This recent slump in Bitcoin price has affected the YTD gains, which have dropped from 50% since November 11. As of September 17, 2024, if you invested $10,000 in ETH on January 1, 2024, your portfolio, after 317 days, would be up roughly $3,317. Ethereum’s market capitalization stands at $442.0 billion.

Ethereum: The Second-Largest Crypto By Market Cap

Ethereum ranks second in market capitalization, valued at $442.0 billion, after Bitcoin’s $1.73 trillion. Together, BTC & ETH’s market capitalization constitutes 83% of the total crypto market cap.

Since its all-time high of $571 billion in November 2021, Ethereum’s value decreased by half in October, but has spiked recently due to Bitcoin’s new ATH. Still, Ethereum maintains a strong lead over other popular cryptocurrencies:
  • Solana (SOL): $98.8 billion
  • Ripple (XRP): $89.8 billion
  • BNB (BNB): $91.0 billion

Despite this recent downtick and recovery, the 24-hour trading volume of Ethereum is $48.4 billion.

Ethereum’s Crypto Trading Volume Soars

The 24-hour trading volume of Ethereum is $48.4 billion. Binance is the largest contributor to this trading volume – about 11% is contributed by spot trading and nearly 40% from futures trading. Exchanges like OKX, Bitget, and ByBit follow Binance.

Ethereum Upgrades to Proof-of-Stake Technology

The London hard fork is a significant Ethereum blockchain upgrade. It changed the network from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently shared his thoughts on X (formerly Twitter). He explained how Proof-of-Stake (PoS) is more decentralized than Proof-of-Work (PoW).

Notable Ethereum Blockchain Upgrades in 5 Years

Here are some key upgrades in the past five years that shaped Ethereum as the second-largest crypto by market capitalization.

2024:

  • Cancun-Deneb (“Dencun”): This upgrade aimed to improve Ethereum’s scalability, security, and usability, setting the stage for further enhancements.
2023:
  • Shanghai-Capella (“Shapella”): Enabled the withdrawal of staked Ether (ETH), marking a significant milestone in Ethereum’s transition to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm.
2022:
  • Paris (The Merge): Successfully transitioned Ethereum from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm, reducing energy consumption and increasing security.
  • Bellatrix: Prepared the Ethereum network for The Merge by introducing the necessary PoS consensus logic.
  • Gray Glacier: Delayed the “difficulty bomb” that would have slowed down the network, ensuring a smooth transition to PoS.
2021:
  • Arrow Glacier: Delayed the “difficulty bomb” again, providing more time for the transition to PoS.
  • Altair: Introduced several improvements to the Beacon Chain, including better validator incentives and enhanced security.
  • London: Implemented the highly anticipated EIP-1559, which reformed the transaction fee market, making it more efficient and user-friendly.
  • Berlin: Introduced several protocol upgrades, including improved gas efficiency and enhanced security features.
2020:
  • Beacon Chain genesis: Launched the Beacon Chain, marking the beginning of Ethereum’s transition to PoS.
  • Staking deposit contract deployed: Enabled users to deposit ETH and participate in the PoS consensus algorithm.
  • Muir Glacier: Delayed the “difficulty bomb” to ensure a smooth transition to PoS.

How ETH Gas Affects Ethereum Price

The blockchain upgrades Ethereum receives aim to solve the trilemma of blockchain, i.e., balancing decentralization, security, and scalability. The switch to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) enhanced these aspects. Ethereum’s transaction fees (gas fees) plummeted post-upgrade, drawing more investors. Gas fees are like taxes, measured in Gwei, required for secure transactions.

As of September 17, the gas fee for a transaction on the ETH network as of 11 PM is 14 Gwei.

When Ethereum’s on-chain value grows, presenting opportunities, investors flock, driving gas fees up. This typically occurs during market upswings, peaking at all-time highs.

ETH’s Sell Signal Hints at Ethereum Price Crash

The daily Ethereum price chart shows a clear sell signal that hints at an incoming correction. This sell signal is in the form of a bearish divergence noted between the price and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). A bearish divergence is formed when price produces higher high while RSI produces lower highs, denoting a lack of momentum backing up the up trending price. The result of this non-conformity is a correction.

Considering that Ethereum price currently faces both the declining trend line and horizontal resistance level as a blockade, a short-term correction is likely. If Bitcoin drops, ETH could follow suit and trigger a 17% crash to $2,886. This key support level is a good place for accumulation before Ether triggers its next leg up.

The following bounce from $2,886 needs to overcome the $3,500 hurdle to climb to $4,000, a key psychological level.

On the other hand, if Bitcoin’s price fails to drop lower and trigger a reversal, then ETH will look stronger than other altcoins. It could break above $3,500 and preemptively catalyze a run to $4,000. This move will invalidate the short-term correction thesis.
