ETH Price in a “Classic Bear Trap” Under $4,000 Says Expert, While Ethereum ETF Flows Turn Negative

The FOMC meeting and Fed rate cut announcement on October 29 turned out to be a “sell-the-news” scenario for the crypto market.

Ethereum ETH $3 795 24h volatility: 5.0% Market cap: $456.81 B Vol. 24h: $41.72 B price has lost the $4,000 support, dropping another 3% in the last 24 hours, in what analysts believe to be a classic bear trap. On the other hand, spot Ethereum ETF flows have turned negative again.

ETH Price Loses $4,000 Support in Bearish Fall

After trying hard to hold the ETH price above $4,000, bulls have once again given up to the bearish pressure as the largest altcoin falls 3% today.

Coinglass data also shows that the ETH futures open interest dropped 2.7% to $46 billion.

Crypto analyst Ted Pillows noted that ETH price has once again fallen below the key $4,000 support level, even after several major macroeconomic developments that were expected to boost market sentiment.

In the last 24 hours, there have been some major macro developments, such as the 25 bps Fed rate cut, the Fed’s decision to end quantitative tightening (QT) and shrink its balance sheet by December 1, and renewed U.S.-China trade talks.

The analyst suggested two possibilities: “Either this is a classic bear trap, or the crypto market is headed significantly lower.”

Although Ethereum has been facing significant volatility recently, another market analyst, IncomeSharks, noted that it must hold above $4,000 to keep the bull momentum intact.

However, according to the chart shared by the analyst, if ETH falls below this level, it could decline toward the lower band near $2,200, as shown below.
