Ethereum price could plummet as analysts identify signs of bearish exhaustion in the altcoin’s price trend. This comes despite a drop in Ethereum’s circulating supply as the quantity of ETH burned hits a record 2.1 million.
Ethereum price could continue its downward trend
The total number of Ethereum tokens burned hit a new milestone, crossing 2.1 million today. Based on data from the Ethereum burn tracker, $6.25 billion in ETH has been burned so far, being pulled out of circulation permanently.
Typically, a drop in an asset’s circulating supply increases the buying pressure on exchanges. A reduction in Ethereum reserves across exchanges could drive the altcoin’s price higher, with a rise in demand for ETH.
Yet, analysts have evaluated the Ethereum price chart and identified bearish signs in the altcoin’s trend. @AltcoinSherpa, a crypto analyst and trader, observed that the Ethereum price has been choppy for a year without significant changes. Analysts don’t expect any big moves in Ethereum and predict consolidation for the next few weeks.
$ETHBTC: This has been chopping around for a year, not really doing much. I don't expect any big moves from this until btc is in a healthy place and I think that we just continue more consolidation for weeks/months. #Ethereum $ETH pic.twitter.com/hMxiSf09wv
