Ethereum Price Prediction: Fed Rate Cut Boosts Demand – Can ETH Break $2,626?

Story Highlights
  • Ethereum is approaching a crucial resistance level of $2,626, with increased whale buying and a spike in Open Interest.

  • The Fed's quantitative easing program will likely increase demand for Ethereum, as indicated by the recent trend reversal.

  • Ethereum's supply has been rising, but the recent trend reversal suggests that the market is becoming more sensitive to macroeconomic factors.

As Bitcoin (BTC) hovers around the critical support and resistance level of $68,000, Ethereum (ETH), the largest altcoin with a fully diluted valuation of about $316 billion and a daily trading volume of roughly $15.1 billion, is approaching an important resistance point at $2,626.

In the past week, Ether’s price has rallied over 9 percent, thus approaching the upper border of a symmetrical triangular consolidation. Consequently, speculation of the next Ether move has resulted in a spike in its Open Interest (OI), with more traders betting on a bullish breakout.

What will happen next? Will Bitcoin and Ethereum continue their upward climb, or will they succumb to selling pressure? Read on to find out!

Ethereum Whales Are Back In Action!

After months of reduced interest, marked by significant cash outflows from U.S. spot Ether ETFs, on-chain data indicates that whale investors are now buying more ETH.

In just the last two days, U.S. spot Ether ETFs have recorded net inflows of over $62 million, led by BlackRockโ€™s ETHA. Meanwhile, the supply of Ether on centralized exchanges has dropped by nearly 3 million in the past 24 hours, primarily on Binance, Kraken, and OKX.

Ethereum Market Outlook

Crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen has pointed out that Ethereum’s market outlook is significantly influenced by macroeconomic changes, especially with the Federal Reserve’s upcoming quantitative easing (QE) program.

Cowen noted that Etherโ€™s supply has been rising by about 60,000 per month for the past six months. He highlighted that it could take only three to four months for the supply to return to pre-Merge levels.

Impact of Monetary Policy on Ether Demand

Cowen emphasized that the trend changed dramatically after the Fed’s 50 basis point rate cut.

โ€œMonetary policy affects this stuff more than many of us care to admit. But more rate cuts will likely increase demand on the ETH network,โ€

The future of Ethereum is uncertain. How do you see the market evolving in the coming months?
