Will Ethereum Price Fall Below $2,000 As Miners Starts ETH Withdrawals?

After the Ethereum Shanghai upgrade, ETH price continues its upside move and even broke the $2,000 level. The fresh liquidity in the market caused a massive rise in trading volume, but experts believe some correction in ETH price before it starts moving upside again.

Moreover, miners and mining pools withdrawing ETH continuously will put additional selling pressure on Ethereum price. The ETH price is trading in the $2,000-$2,150 range this week.
