Key Insights
- Ethereum (ETH) needs to sustain momentum above $3000 or risk sliding below the $2,800 support level, according to Ted Pillows in his latest Ethereum price prediction.
- Analyst Ted Pillows warns buyers must show strength to overcome the sell wall between $3,100 – $3,300.
- Bitmine, led by Tom Lee, made headlines today by purchasing 22,676 Ethereum worth $68.7 million, boosting their total ETH holdings to 64,622, valued at nearly $200 million.
In the latest Ethereum price prediction, top analyst Ted Pillows emphasizes the critical need for Ethereum to hold above the $3,000 mark. If it fails to maintain this level, there’s a risk of a dip towards the significant support zone around $2,800. At the moment, Ethereum, the largest altcoin by market capitalization, is trading slightly above $3,000 amidst substantial purchases from Bitmine, which recently added another $199 million worth of ETH to its treasury.
However, a broader analysis of the market sentiment reveals caution among investors, as reflected in the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which currently sits at an unsettling 22 — indicating intense fear. Many crypto experts attribute this negative sentiment to significant withdrawals from institutional products, particularly Bitcoin ETFs, which have seen the heaviest outflows since November, totaling around $2.7 billion.
Ethereum Price Prediction: $3,000 or Drop to $2,800?
According to Ted Pillows, the current price dynamics suggest that Ethereum must not only hold steady past the symbolic threshold of $3,000 but also gather enough momentum to break through the resistance bands around $3,100 to $3,300. This resistance is crucial; overcoming it could set Ethereum on a bullish trajectory. If Ethereum can’t maintain its stance above the $3,000 mark, it could lead to a slip towards the critical support level around $2,800.
As we approach the weekend, Ethereum has held near $3,031, trading within a narrow range. While bulls are working hard to clear the resistance at $3,100, success here could potentially flip $3,300 to support, encouraging further upward momentum.
Diving deeper into technical indicators, the MACD has recently indicated a bearish crossover after sinking below the signal line, which typically suggests bearish market pressure. Simultaneously, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 46, revealing that it is below the neutral 50 line, which further reflects a potentially bearish outlook.
Bitmine Adds More Ethereum (ETH) Holdings To its Portfolio
In an intriguing move, Bitmine, under the leadership of Tom Lee, acquired 22,676 Ethereum for an impressive $68.7 million, significantly increasing its total ETH holdings to 64,622, now valued at close to $200 million. This robust buy demonstrates both confidence and a strategic long-term vision regarding Ethereum’s future prospects.
The latest transaction was made from BitGo’s hot wallet to Bitmine’s wallet just hours ago, further reflecting the recent volatility in Ethereum’s pricing. However, Bitmine’s strong purchase emphasizes its strategic position within the ever-evolving crypto landscape.
This purchase follows Bitmine’s previous acquisition of $150 million worth of Ethereum on Wednesday, which contributed to a significant uptick in the company’s stock. It’s notable that these purchases occur just after the Fusaka blockchain upgrade — Ethereum’s second major improvement this year. Bitmine is keen on strengthening its position within the $385 billion Ethereum network and is eyeing future opportunities as it accelerates its ETH accumulation.
