Ethereum (ETH) Faces Consolidation After Reaching $3.4K Editors News
  • Ethereum trades at $3.1K, down by 3.70% over the last 24 hours.
  • ETH’s fear and greed index suggests neutral sentiment in the market.

The crypto market exhibits a bearish sentiment followed by the unchanged Fed rate. Bitcoin has dropped by 3%, and the largest altcoin, Ethereum, recorded a similar downside price action by falling over 3.70%. A low has formed near $3,136, indicating a negative outlook. 

The price drop of ETH can also be aligned to the substantial outflows from the Ethereum Grayscale Trust. On Wednesday, another substantial outflow of $77 million was noted. When spot BTC ETFs were launched, in the early weeks the price of Bitcoin experienced a decline accompanied by significant outflows. Meanwhile, over the last 24 hours, Ethereum observed a $62.14 million liquidation as per coinglass data
