Will Ethereum Price Break Downtrend With Support from Whale Movements?

Ethereum price: Amid the current market sell-off, the Ethereum coin witnessed a notable correction with the price falling from $4091 to $3060.

Ethereum Defies SEC Scrutiny as Whales and Technicals Suggest Rebound

In the face of SEC scrutiny and broader market correction, the Ethereum price showcased a V-top reversal from the March 11th high of $4090. However, data from Santiment reveals an uptick in whale activity, with the year’s highest recorded levels suggesting substantial market interest. 

The RSI indicator has plummeted to 28.5, its lowest point since a similar market bottom in late January, hinting at an oversold condition. This metric, coupled with a 7% decrease in the 30-day average trader returns, could be forecasting a turnaround for Ethereum, as market conditions appear ripe for a potential recovery.

The ETH price currently trades at $3402 and with an intraday gain of 2.14%, it teases a breakout from the overhead trendline. This dynamic resistance carries the current downturn and its breakout will signal a better confirmation of recovery.

The post-breakout rally could push the ETH price back to $3780, followed by $4090.

Will Ethereum Price See Deeper Correction?

The Spot BTC ETFs witnessed a total of $888 Million flowing out of the 10 ETFs this week, notably contributing to the current market correction. If the bearish momentum persists on these ETFs in the coming week, the ETH price may break the combined support of 38.2% FIB and $3120. Losing this support could accelerate the supply pressure and plunge the coin to $2800-$2700 support.
