Ethereum Price Eyes Reversal as ETH/BTC Hits Key Support
Ethereum price is under focus in crypto space and particularly in relation to Bitcoin as it gets closer to a historically strong support level on ETH/BTC pair. After a descending triangle trend from mid 2021 through early 2025, the ETH/BTC pair has now reached a level where it showed a buying range in late 2020. Such a technical development combined with increased open interest in the futures is fueling the debate on trend reversal.
Ethereum Price Eyes Recovery: Key Support Level Could Spark Reversal
According to a recent post on X, analyst AndrewCryptoHQ noted that ETH/BTC is now trading at a crucial technical level. This level previously acted as a launchpad for gains during Q4 2020. Since its peak in mid-2021, the pair has remained in a downtrend, posting consistent lower highs and lower lows.
As of late March 2025, ETH/BTC is resting near a multi-year support zone. Market participants are watching closely to see whether this zone can hold and initiate an altcoin rebound. If supported, it could mark a key turning point in Ethereum price performance compared to Bitcoin.
However, downside risks remain. A decline in Bitcoin could put pressure on Ethereum price action. ETH has shown sensitivity to Bitcoin’s market direction in previous cycles. Without a confirmed breakout or higher low formation, traders remain cautious about calling a full reversal.
ETH Futures Open Interest Hits Record as Caution Lingers
On March 21, Ether futures open interest reached a record high of 10.23 million ETH, according to data from CoinGlass. This figure represents a 15% increase over two weeks, signaling growing participation in derivative markets.
Despite the rise in open interest, the futures premium dropped below 4%, down from 5% two weeks prior. This lower premium suggests subdued bullish sentiment, as traders are not aggressively pursuing leveraged long positions. Binance, Gate.io, and Bitget accounted for over half of the futures market, while CME captured 9%.
The increased leverage does not automatically indicate upward price movement. Open interest simply reflects matched positions between buyers and sellers. The absence of a strong premium points to a neutral stance from investors regarding the altcoin price trajectory.
Ethereum Network Fees Fall as On-Chain Activity Slows
However, Ethereum network fees fell by 50% over the past seven days, according to IntoTheBlock. The reduction signals a decline in user activity and overall demand on the Ethereum mainnet. Total revenue for Ethereum’s base layer dropped to $605,000 as of March 17, compared to $2.5 million just two weeks earlier.
Lower fees are partly due to the growing use of Layer 2 solutions, which move transactions off the mainnet to improve scalability. However, the shift has also reduced transaction volume on the core network. Users and protocols are increasingly exploring alternative chains such as Solana and Avalanche.
This slowdown in network usage presents challenges for Ethereum price support. The downturn in activity may contribute to hesitancy around the altcoin’s near-term outlook. However, Ethereum whales have started to accumulate again as one of them bought nearly $270 million worth of ETH. This goes hand in hand with the increase in the daily active addresses by 26%, which may signal a reversal of the Ethereum price chart.

Based on historical data, July could be the next bullish month for the XRP price, which continues to consolidate amid this crypto market downtrend. Despite the market downturn, crypto analysts like CasiTrades are confident that the altcoin could still reach a new all-time high (ATH) in this market cycle.
Historical Data Points To July Being The Next Bullish Month For The XRP Price
Cryptorank data shows that July could be the next bullish month for the XRP price. This is based on the fact that the altcoin has recorded significant gains in each of the last five Julys.
Unlike July, April to June have been mixed for XRP over the last five years. For April, the last three out of five months have been bearish for the altcoin, although it recorded a 174% gain in April 2021.
For May, three out of the last five months have been bearish for the XRP price, although it recorded meagre gains in May 2023 and 2024. Meanwhile, June has been completely bearish for the altcoin, as it recorded monthly losses in the last five months.
It is worth mentioning that four out of the five monthly gains for XRP in July have been double-digit gains. As such, Ripple’s native crypto could again record double-digit gains this coming July.
Interestingly, crypto analyst Egrag Crypto predicted that XRP could reach double digits by its July 21 cycle peak. He alluded to the altcoin’s previous bull runs as to why July could mark this cycle’s peak. The analyst believes the Ripple price could reach $27 by then.
Analysts Argue XRP’s Consolidation Could End Soon
Amid this historical data, crypto analysts Dark Defender and CasiTrades have suggested that the XRP price consolidation could end soon. In an X post, Dark Defender stated that the altcoin’s consolidation is nearing an end and that he believes this is the final consolidation of the monthly structure.
Once this consolidation is done, the crypto analyst remarked that market participants can expect the Wave 5, which will send Ripple’s native crypto to new highs. He highlighted $2.22 and $2.30 as the major resistances to watch out for, while $1.88 and $1.63 are the major support levels. Meanwhile, the targets on this Wave 5 up are $3.75 and $5.85, which will mark a new ATH for the altcoin.
As CoinGape reported, crypto analyst CasiTrades also predicted that the XRP price could soon reach $6 as Wave 2 correction nears its end. The analyst also raised the possibility of the altcoin rallying to as high as $9.50 and $12 if it reaches the 2.618 and 3.618 Fibonacci extension levels, respectively.
However, there is still the possibility of the XRP price dropping below the $2 level before it rallies to new highs. Egrag Crypto warned that Ripple’s native crypto could still drop to as low as $1.4 in the event of a major liquidation.

The ETH price’s bearish sentiment since January 2025 has taken a toll on investor confidence, with Ethereum ETFs witnessing significant outflows. As ETH’s value continues to plummet, investors increasingly withdraw their funds. With Ethereum exchange-traded funds recording a massive $32 million in weekly outflows, analysts caution against a potential downtrend.
As Ethereum lingers below the $2,000 mark for weeks, market experts and traders are bracing for a potential further decline to $1,100. Let’s dive deeper into the reasons behind the significant outflows from Ethereum ETFs and its potential impact on ETH price.
Ethereum ETFs Record $32M Weekly Outflows: What’s Happening?
According to SoSoValue, Ethereum ETFs experienced increasing outflows over the past week, driven by the overarching negative market trend. Last week, the ETFs saw a total net outflow of $32.17 million, pushing the month’s outflows to $170.99 million.
In addition, the Ethereum exchange-traded funds experienced an unusual day of neutral flows yesterday, with neither net inflows nor outflows reported. Analyst Ali Martinez shed light on the increasing whale activity over the past week. According to his X post, ETH whales have offloaded 143,000 tokens last week.
Significantly, this negative sentiment could be attributed to the ETH price’s bearish trend which began in January. Ethereum, which stood high-headed above $3,500 at the onset of 2025, started plummeting to reach a severe low of $1,500 in April. This steady downtrend has caused a stir in the market, with traders showing less interest towards the altcoin.
Is ETH Price Poised for a Crash?
Growing pessimism surrounding Ethereum ETFs has led analysts to warn the community that ETH’s price may extend its downward trajectory. For instance, analyst Altcoin Gordon shared a bearish forecast for ETH price, predicting that the token would further drop to $1,100. However, as per CoinGape’s Ethereum price prediction, ETH could destabilize around a minimum of $1,588 in 2025.

As of press time, ETH is valued at $1,592, down by a marginal 0.20% in a day. Despite a 2.3% surge over the past seven days, ETH has seen a massive dip of 21% in a month. This negative vibe is also reflected on the traders’ sentiment, with the 24-hour trading volume decreasing by 23% to reach $10.5 billion.
Significantly, the Ethereum transaction fees’ recent crash to a five-year low has also contributed to the overall bearish sentiment.
Ethereum Bulls Remain Optimistic
Despite these bearish predictions and negative Ethereum ETF trend, bulls remain optimistic about the ETH price. Analysts like Crypto Rover and CryptoGoos shared their bullish outlooks on Ethereum, invoking investors’ enthusiasm.
According to CryptoGoos, ETH is expected to repeat history to surge beyond $2,800 in the near future. Meanwhile, market expert Crypto Rover projected the ETH price’s potential journey to an ambitious $10,000. However, it needs to be seen whether ETH can break through its current resistance levels and achieve these lofty targets.
