The first half of June was notably low for the crypto market as Bitcoin Price reached a low of $65,000 amid several unfavorable updates.

Ethereum price fell to a three-week low of $3,362 on Friday but has now witnessed an ease in selling pressure and flat over the weekend.

Ethereum Price Analysis | Trading view
During the recent market downturn, Ethereum formed a new lower high at the $3,950 resistance level on the daily chart. Currency buyers have failed to break through the latest rally, indicating an initial shift in market sentiment where traders prefer to sell on bullish recoveries.
On June 14, the coin’s price reached a peak of $3,887 before suffering a significant drop of 13.5%, falling to a low of $3,364. This price level coincides with the 100-day EMA, which has now started to stabilize Ethereum’s falling price, aiding its recovery to $3,509. At the same time, the market capitalization increased to $431.2 billion.
This surge is likely triggered by SEC Chairman Gary Gensler’s recent statement to lawmakers suggesting that the agency could finalize approvals for listing and trading of spot ETH exchange-traded funds (ETFs) over the summer.
Furthermore, in a recent tweet, renowned trader Ali (@ali_charts) highlighted a significant trend in the Ethereum market. According to his analysis, Ethereum whales have made substantial investments over the past three weeks, purchasing more than 700,000 ETH, which is equivalent to approximately $2.45 billion.

- Exponential Moving Average (EMA): The 100-day and 200-day EMAs as dynamic support preventing ETH price from a major correction
- MACD: A bearish crossover between MACD (blue) and signal (orange) indicate a seller as the main driving force behind the current price movement.
