Ethereum News Today: Will Fed Rate Cuts Trigger a ETH Price Rally?

Published by

As the Federal Reserve gears up for potential rate cuts, crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe is keeping a close eye on Ethereum. While he doesn’t believe today marks the bottom for ETH, he’s excited about what could unfold in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space once the Fed begins to lower rates.

What does this mean for Ethereum’s price and its role in DeFi? Let’s dive in.

How Rate Cuts Could Benefit DeFi

According to Michael van de Poppe, if the Fed reduces interest rates, it could ignite a significant boost for decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, especially Ethereum. With ETH serving as the backbone of many DeFi projects, lower rates could bring more liquidity into the ecosystem, potentially pushing ETH prices higher in the long run.

However, van de Poppe isn’t convinced that the current market marks the bottom for Ethereum. “The chart looks awful now,” he says, pointing out that Ethereum’s price struggles could continue in the short term. 

Ethereum has been crucial to the development of DeFi, with many projects built on its network. As the Federal Reserve changes its monetary policy, cheaper borrowing could indirectly help DeFi protocols and, in turn, benefit Ethereum.

Ethereum Price Analysis

On the daily chart, Ethereum has been declining steadily since it was rejected at its yearly high of $4,000. The price has been making lower highs and lower lows, reflecting a generally bearish market mood.

Recently, Ethereum faced resistance at $2,250, leading to another drop. The 50-day moving average for ETH funding rates has also been on a downward trend, hitting its lowest level in 2024.

Currently, Ethereum is trading within a key range, with support at $2,000 and resistance around $2,500. Until the price breaks out of this range, more sideways movement is expected.
