According to Cointelegraph, Ether (ETH) has been experiencing a range-bound price movement, remaining below $2,500. This trend could potentially shift due to increasing institutional investor interest. Recent data from Glassnode indicates that 106,000 Ether flowed into spot Ether exchange-traded funds last week, marking the seventh consecutive week of positive inflows. Despite this, there is a mixed sentiment in the market regarding Ether's future. Etherscan reports that two Ethereum wallets unstaked and withdrew 95,920 Ether earlier in June, with a significant portion, 62,289 Ether, being deposited into various exchanges, possibly for sale.
The price of Ether has been fluctuating between the 50-day simple moving average of $2,528 and horizontal support at $2,323 over the past few days. Both moving averages have leveled off, and the relative strength index (RSI) is near the midpoint, suggesting a period of consolidation in the near term. If buyers manage to push the price above the 50-day SMA, the ETH/USDT pair could rise to $2,738 and potentially reach $2,879, where sellers are expected to mount strong resistance. Conversely, if the price declines from the 50-day SMA, bears may attempt to drive the pair below the $2,323 support, potentially leading to a drop to solid support at $2,111. The next significant price movement could occur above $2,879 or below $2,111.
The ETH/USDT pair has been confined between $2,376 and $2,521 for some time. The flattening moving averages and the RSI slightly above the midpoint do not provide a clear advantage to either bulls or bears. Should the price maintain above the moving averages, the pair might reach the $2,521 level. Sellers are likely to try to halt any rally at this point, but if bulls succeed, the pair could surge to $2,666. On the other hand, if the price sharply declines from $2,521, the pair may continue to remain within its current range for a longer period.
