Highlights 

  • Ethereum faces a potential price drop of up to 40% based on MVRV data. 
  • Experts point to critical support levels and supply concerns for Ethereum's price. 
  • Ethereum’s journey to a $10K price may remain distant, with resistance at key levels. 

Ethereum's price in the cryptocurrency market has faced significant challenges in maintaining an upward momentum, with key on-chain metrics indicating a potential sharp decline ahead. The Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio for Ethereum has recently fallen below its 160-day moving average, a signal that could lead to a 40% drop if history repeats. In similar circumstances, the price has plummeted significantly, raising concerns over the current price levels. 

Ethereum Faces Key Support Levels and Growing Supply 

Ethereum's price has recently struggled under the $3,200 mark, leading to an overall bearish sentiment surrounding the asset. The critical support zone, located between $2,230 and $2,610, is being watched closely. This range is an accumulation zone, with a large number of wallets holding a significant amount of ETH. Should Ethereum fall towards these levels, market participants are closely monitoring the movement for signs of stabilization or further decline. 

At the same time, there have been concerns about Ethereum's growing supply, which has hindered its deflationary goals post-Merge. While Ethereum was anticipated to become more scarce, there has been an increase in supply, further adding pressure on the price. The increase in supply by thousands of ETH each month could potentially suppress Ethereum's ability to recover. 

Challenges in Reaching the $10K Milestone 

While there has been optimism surrounding Ethereum's future, with some hoping for the price to reach five figures, the path to a $10,000 valuation appears challenging. Ethereum needs to maintain its position above $3,000 to sustain any hopes of reaching new highs, but immediate resistance points remain at around $4,000, where previous price rejections have been observed. 

Despite some bullish outlooks, Ethereum’s current struggles with its price movements and growing supply, combined with broader market challenges, mean that any rally toward $10,000 may remain elusive for the foreseeable future. The price action, including the testing of key support levels and the ongoing challenges of supply growth, will play a pivotal role in shaping Ethereum's price trajectory.
