K33 Research notes that Ethereum’s recent underperformance could be linked to sluggish ETF flows, but future increases in ETF activity could reverse this trend. Ethereum futures are also trading at a higher premium compared to Bitcoin, suggesting expectations of a continued upward trend.
Volatility measures for Ethereum are currently elevated, indicating potential future fluctuations. Ethereum is trading around $2,600, still significantly below its peak from late 2021.
Analysts are keeping an eye on possible market changes with the end of summer and upcoming economic events, which could influence Ethereum’s price movements.
