Ethereum Price Crashing to $1000?

Popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez predicts a significant correction in ETH price if it falls below $1,550. He is targeting a 37%-45% correction, risking the price to fall to $1000.

Ethereum is at an inflection point as the chart structure is really weak. A break below the $1,600–$1,550 range will cause ETH price to fall suddenly. Moreover, CoinGape Media also reported lagging Ethereum network fundamentals. The monthly average of active Ethereum ($ETH) addresses is below the annual average, suggesting limited on-chain activity. This is a common indicator of diminished network health and utilization.

ETH price jumped 0.5% in the past 24 hours, with the price currently trading at $1670. The 24-hour low and high are $1665 and $1692, respectively. However, trading volume has decreased by 7% in the last 24 hours.
