Much like Bitcoin (BTC), the price of Ethereum (ETH) has been trading significantly sideways lately. Due to this downtrend, a legendary crypto analyst has offered some insights into Ethereum’s price movements, predicting that in the next three months, the pioneer altcoin could see its price hit a bottom. 

Ethereum To Hit Price Bottom By December

Benjamin Cowen, the founder of ITC Crypto and a prominent crypto analyst, has published a YouTube video discussing Ethereum’s price movements, highlighting a potential correlation between ETH’s price declines with the rising United States (US) unemployment rates.

Historically, the rate of unemployment within the US tends to peak in the month of December, and Ethereum has experienced a price bottom during the same month in both 2016, and 2019. With the unemployment rate currently rising in the US, Cowen suggests that a continuation of this economic trend could lead to a peak in December 2024, potentially coinciding with a price bottom for Ethereum.

For the past few months, the price of Ethereum has been on an unusual downward trend, crashing by over 20% earlier this year and dipping below $3,000. The cryptocurrency had mirrored Bitcoin’s price declines, bleeding red almost immediately after the broader market turned bearish. 

Despite the launch of Spot Ethereum Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), ETH has failed to gain enough momentum to propel its price to previous highs. Considering the cryptocurrency’s extensive decline trend, Cowen predicts that Ethereum could witness a 50% decline soon. 

Although the analyst did concede that the projected decline might not be as severe as a 50% drop, he remains convinced that some degree of decline, even if mild, is probable. As a result, Cowen has set a new target for Etheruem’s price by December, predicting that the pioneer cryptocurrency could see its price dropping to $1,200 from its current value. 

While drawing parallels between Etheruem’s price actions in 2019 and 2024, Cowen further suggested in an X (formerly Twitter) post that ETH might temporarily fall below its recently formed a wedge pattern before finding a price bottom. The analyst believes that after Ethereum hits its price bottom, the cryptocurrency could be on the road to a significant price recovery. 

As of writing, CoinMarketCap’s data reveals that Ethereum’s price is trading at $2,354, reflecting a slight uptick of 1.26% in the last 24 hours.

Selling Pressures Increase For ETH

Amidst price declines and broader market volatility, Ethereum has also been experiencing an increase in selling pressures. On September 10, Lookonchain reported that MetaAlpha, a hedging and trading service company, had executed another major transaction in a deposit of 10,000 ETH tokens valued at $23.45 million.

Meanwhile, the Ethereum Foundation, a non-profit organization supporting the Ethereum ecosystem recently sold another 100 ETH tokens, bringing its total ETH sales since January to 2,616 ETH.
