Ethereum - Low monthly volume susggests no trend reversal
Updated
Like Bitcoin, Ethereum has been mostly choppy for the past two weeks. It has been oscillating predominantly between 1 250 USD and 1 400 USD in a reflection of the indecisiveness of market participants. Despite that, we are committed to our bearish thesis and expect ETHUSD to hit our price target of 1 000 USD by the end of Q4 2022.
Our views are based on a combination of fundamental and technical factors. In our opinion, driving market forces like interest rates and economic tightening will continue to weigh on the market, dragging it deeper into the bear market territory. Additionally, technical factors tell that same story, which points to the bear market rally at the moment rather than trend reversal and double bottom formation. Moreover, low monthly volumes hint at the fact that Ethereum is not gaining much interest among new investors, making the primary trend reversal very improbable.
Furthermore, we expect market volatility to pick up from here, leading to high anxiety and more risk aversion. Because of that, we have no reason to change our bias and stick to our price targets of 1 000 USD and 900 USD.
