Ethereum ETF Inflows Remain Robust

ETH Price Tests Crucial Support at $4,000
Following the strong selling pressure at $4,400, ETH price has corrected nearly 10% and is looking for a crucial support at $4,000, which seems to be weakening at this point. Market analysts share mixed opinions and remain divided over the next ETH trajectory.
Crypto analyst Ted Pillows noted that Ethereum (ETH) continues to hold firm above the $3,850 support level, maintaining short-term bullish potential. According to Pillows, a decisive move above $4,250 could trigger a short-term uptrend for the asset. The dropping ETH supply on exchanges could further aid this rally.
However, he cautioned that if Ethereum fails to defend the $3,850 support, the market could see increased downside volatility.

The next key level to reclaim is $4,250, which could start a short-term uptrend.

On the other hand, crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlighted that Ethereum (ETH) is approaching a bearish MACD crossover on its weekly chart. Martinez noted that the last two occurrences of this technical signal led to price declines of 43% and 61%. This suggests the possibility of a significant downside if the pattern repeats.
