Ethereum price has recorded a major pullback in recent days amid a broader crypto market retreat.
Amid this, top market experts have predicted a potential dip in ETH price to $4,700 or even lower, given the ongoing volatile sentiment in the broader digital assets space.
Besides, the waning institutional interest has also weighed on the traders’ sentiment. However, it’s worth noting that the corporates have continued to stay bullish on the crypto, predicting a potential recovery in the asset’s price.
In addition, all eyes of the crypto market are now on the upcoming US CPI inflation data. The key economic data is expected to shed some light on the potential future movements of Bitcoin price, as well as the top altcoins like Ethereum.
So, here we explore the latest developments in the Ethereum market as well as in the broader crypto space.
Simultaneously, we would also evaluate the key ETH price levels to watch ahead, as highlighted by the market experts.
Ethereum Price Near Flatline As ETF Fund Flow Spooks Traders
The Ethereum price today stayed in the positive territory, but failed to showcase any significant movements amid the broader crypto market’s volatile scenario.
During writing, ETH price was up around 0.7% and exchanged hands at $3,874, with its trading volume falling around 19% to $41 billion.
Notably, the crypto has traded near the flatline, as evidenced by its movements in the weekly chart. However, over the past 30 days, the crypto has lost nearly 7%, falling from a 30-day high of $4,755 to a low of $3,460.
The ETH Futures Open Interest, as per CoinGlass data, also stayed near the flatline, indicating a cautious stance of the investors.
Notably, the sentiment is further dampened by the latest insights into the institutional interest in Ethereum price.
Meanwhile, it appears that the waning institutional interest has weighed on the broader crypto market sentiment.
For context, the US Ethereum ETF inflow has once again turned green after reversing its course the prior day.
According to Farside Investors’ data, the Ethereum ETF has recorded an outflow of $18.9 million on October 22.
This follows an influx of $141.7 million on October 21, which has lifted the investors’ sentiment.
Only BlackRock provided the highest boost with $110.7 million influx, while Fidelity’s FETH and Grayscale’s ETHE recorded an outflux of $49.5 million and $33.5 million, respectively.
What Lies Ahead for Ethereum Price?
Despite the dip in Ethereum price, it seems that the corporate and whale interests remain intact.
This indicates that the discounted price has allowed the corporates to take advantage of the buy-the-dip scenario.
According to Lookonchain data, Bitmine has continued to add Ethereum to its ETH treasury.
According to data from October 22, two Bitmine-related wallets have accumulated 45,814 ETH, worth approximately $184 million, from Falcon X.
This has boosted the market sentiment, indicating the corporation’s long-term confidence in the asset.
Besides, another Lookonchain data showed that the whales are still optimistic about Ethereum price.
In a recent X post, the on-chain transaction tracker said that an Ethereum whale, identified by the address “0x86Ed,” put his bet on ETH.
The wallet address has bagged 8,491 ETH, valued at $32.47 million, from OKX, sparking market optimism.
What Lies Ahead for ETH Price?
Despite the positive sentiment hovering around Ethereum price, analysts remain cautious. For context, in a recent X post, analyst Ali Martinez said that ETH price is likely to revisit the $3,700 zone.
However, he has highlighted the $3,830 level as a key support level that the crypto must hold to avoid further dip. In addition, analyst TedPillows has also revealed key insights on the asset.
He noted that unless Ethereum price breaks through the $4,100 level, the bullish momentum remains invalidated.
However, if the resistance is broken, the analyst said that the next target for ETH price could be at $4,800.
