Ethereum Price Prediction: ETH Plunges 20% As Jump Crypto Unstakes $315M Ethereum And Analysts Say Consider This Olympic Games Meme Coin For Huge Gai
The Ethereum price plunged 20% in the last 24 hours to trade at $2,326 as of 05:04 a.m. EST even as trading volume skyrocketed 238% to $54 billion.
This comes as Jump Crypto, the crypto division of Jump Trading, transferred 120,000 staked Ether tokens worth around $314 million. The firm has shifted hundreds of millions of dollars worth of crypto to exchanges in recent days, which has sparked speculation that it may be preparing to sell its holdings.
The mass transfer comes five weeks after Kanav Kariya stepped down as Jump Crypto’s president amid rumors the firm is exiting crypto.
Can Ethereum Price Rebound?
The Ethereum price has been on a downtrend since the start of August, as it plunged from the $3,250 resistance zone. ETH has since been trading within the falling channel pattern.
However, today, ETH has dived below the lower boundary of the channel, plunging to the $2,250 support zone, according to data from GeckoTerminal .
The price of Ethereum now trades below both the 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), further supporting the continued bearish trend of the token.
Moreover, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 1-hour chart trades at 25, which shows that the asset is under intense selling pressure and is currently undervalued.
With the asset being undervalued, this now acts as a buying signal. If investors start buying, the token may rise back to the channel, with the price of Ethereum now targeting $3,300 in the long term.
