Ethereum (ETH) Might Crash If It Loses This Key Level

In a new tweet, crypto analyst Ali tells traders to keep a watch on the Ethereum price, which is now hovering above a critical demand zone.

A loss of this critical zone with a lower range of around $1,530 could result in a strong correction for ETH, the magnitude of which is unknown.

On Oct. 8, Ethereum plummeted to a low of $1,548 as the market resorted to profit-taking. Ethereum has been unable to recoup its previous-day losses and is currently in the red. ETH was down 0.54% in the last 24 hours to $1,583 at the time of writing.

According to IntoTheBlock data, Ethereum is currently hovering above a demand zone with a lower support level of $1,533. This is where 2.39 million ETH were bought by 1.83 million Ethereum addresses.

A loss of this support might trigger a decline near $1,485, where, unfortunately, Ethereum has little support even to $1,342.

On the upside, Ethereum faces huge resistance, slightly above where it trades at the moment. This is because 4.38 million addresses purchased 10.92 million ETH from $1,585 to $1,633, at an average price of $1,610.

Derivative data suggests market lacks direction

Blockchain and derivative data paint a less-than-rosy picture of the second-largest cryptocurrency by market value.

Since February 2023, #Ethereum whales have capitalized on surging prices, offloading or redistributing over 5 million $ETH — equivalent to roughly $8.5 billion.

In another tweet, Ali mentioned that Ethereum whales have been offloading their holdings. He claims that since February 2023, Ethereum whales have profited from rising prices, selling or transferring around 5 million ETH worth approximately $8.5 billion. This selling trend is continuing, and there is no present hint of a shift toward ETH accumulation.
