Test

Ethereum price displayed high momentum selling in August’s first week, attributed to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The negative outflow trend in spot ETH ETF bolstered the bearish narrative and plunged the altcoin below $3000 on Friday. Will the current trend continue next week, or are buyers ready to retake control?

Recent on-chain data highlights significant whale activity in the Ethereum market, signaling a potential bullish reversal. According to the on-chain data tracker, Lookonchain, a “smart money” investor with a high win rate, acquired 2,424 <a href="https://coingape.com/ethereum-going-to-2k-says-peter-schiff-altcoins-bleed-amid-us-recession-fears/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a> ($7.22M) earlier today. This adds to an already substantial accumulation, with the same investor having purchased 19,436 ETH ($68.25M) at an average price of $3,511 since May 29.
This surge in whale buying activity typically indicates a strong belief in the asset’s upside potential, but the ETH price continues to extend its downfall as it recently breached below $3000.

<a href="https://coingape.com/price-predictions/ethereum-eth-price-prediction/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum price forecast</a> shows a 3% intraday drop to hit $2,895, reducing its market capitalization to $345.8 billion. The daily chart reveals that altcoin is just a 3% dip away from retesting the multi-month support level of a flag pattern on the daily chart.&nbsp;
The pattern appears as a rectangular shape resembling a flag on a pole. The initial price spike forms the pole, and two parallel lines delineate the flag, representing the consolidation range.
Therefore, a potential rebound from this support could spark a 30% rally to challenge the flag pattern resistance. A successful breach above this resistance will signal the end-of-correction trend and may drive a rally to $5000.
The Relative Strength Index (<a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/rsi-relative-strength-index/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">RSI</a>), nearing the oversold territory, might encourage buyers to initiate a rebound.

On a contrary note, a breakdown below the flag pattern will intensify the selling momentum and may plunge the Ethereum price back to $2400.
