The largest altcoin by market capitalization has plunged roughly 15% over the past month and currently trades just above $2,300.<\/p>\n

The recent downturn has sparked pessimism, with some analysts warning that the asset could slide further to the key psychological level of $2,000. At the same time, certain factors suggest a resurgence may be just around the corner.<\/p>\n

The Bearish Perspective<\/h2>\n

The popular analyst Ali Martinez noted<\/a> that as ETH approached $2,400 on October 28, on-chain transaction volume surged past $100 billion. At that moment, the price was rejected and retreated toward $2,300.<\/p>\n

He said whale activity may have affected Ethereum\u2019s performance and cited Santiment data showing that large investors reduced their exposure by roughly 160,000 ETH, worth nearly $350 million, in just five days.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis distribution could be contributing to the downward pressure on the price,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Martinez pointed to a second bearish factor: more coins stored on exchanges. He said the figure has risen by 100,000 units (worth around $240 million) and that it \u201cputs more ETH within reach of sellers, potentially adding to downward pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last but not least, the analyst claimed that Ethereum\u2019s technical picture is weakening. He noted that the asset has lost the $2,385 support and appears to have broken out of a right-angled ascending broadening formation on the daily chart.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf selling pressure persists, the pattern points to a move to $2,000,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

X user Ted also presented a rather pessimistic view. He said<\/a> ETH failed to reclaim the $2,400 level and, as long as it stays below, \u201cthere\u2019s a decent chance\u201d of falling below $2,200.<\/p>\n

Some Bullish Factors<\/h2>\n

Unlike the aforementioned whales that offloaded ETH, one large investor has made a huge bet that the asset\u2019s price will rise. X user Max Crypto revealed<\/a> that the mysterious market participant opened a $45 million long position with 25x leverage after the market headed south.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s particularly interesting is that the whale has made 20 trades so far and has a whopping 100% win rate. Some commenters think this isn\u2019t a random investor but someone with inside information about events or developments that could trigger a price rally for ETH.<\/p>\n

The asset\u2019s Relative Strength Index (RSI) also flashes signs that a move back into green territory may be coming. The ratio has fallen to just above 30, meaning ETH is near oversold territory and could be gearing up for a short-term rebound. The index runs from 0 to 100, where anything above 70 signals a potential incoming pullback.<\/p>\n
