Ethereum’s Gas Fees Plunge to Five-Year Lows, Eyes on $2,300

Amid this ongoing market downturn, recently Ethereum (ETH) is gaining significant attention from the crypto community. On August 19, 2024, the on-chain security analytic firm Kaiko made a post on X (previously Twitter) stating that Ethereum’s gas fees have made a five-year record low.

Ethereum’s Gas Fees Hit Five-Year Lows

According to Kaiko, this record decline in gas fees means less ETH will be burned, leading to a quicker increase in its supply. However, data indicates that ETH’s total supply has been consistently rising since April 2024, as a result, its price has consistently fallen since then.

If ETH closes a daily candle below the $2,520 level, there is a high possibility it could fall to the $2,300 level or even lower in the coming days.

Ether Price Analysis

At the press time, ETH is trading near the $2,590 level and has experienced a price drop of over 3% in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, its trading volume increased by 30% during the same period, indicating higher participation from investors and traders, amid the market decline.

Whereas, ETH’s open interest has remained unchanged in the last 24 hours, which means interest from traders is neutral.
