<a href="https://coingape.com/price-predictions/ethereum-eth-price-prediction/">ETH price</a> witnessed an 8-day continuous fall last week, going from $3,878 to $3,362. In the drop, the asset broke a critical support level responsible for holding it above $3,650. Bears took advantage of the ensuing panic to drive prices even lower.&nbsp; 
The bulls eventually utilized another stronger support structure between $3,400 and $3,250 to bounce <a href="https://coingape.com/price/ethereum">Ethereum price</a> action back into an uptrend. The asset may have entered another consolidation zone between $3,600 and $3,300, but it is too early to tell. The bulls’ main challenge lies in breaking above the $3,600 support-turned-resistance. If they succeed, ETH price may rise to $4,216, with some resistance around $3,800 and $3,900. 
Meanwhile, <a href="https://coingape.com/price-predictions/bitcoin-btc-price-prediction/">Bitcoin</a> is at a crucial place on its daily chart, trending around a key support level ($65,000). On Friday, bears managed to push the price below the support level, but they were met with hostile rejection from the bulls. A clean break below this level would result in a further downside to $57,000. On the flip side, this support level is strong and has been tested three times before. A bounce from here may result in a <a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin">BTC price</a> surge to $72,500. A break above this might easily launch Bitcoin to new all-time high prices.

Gary Gensler, Chair of the Securities and Exchanges Commission (<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.sec.gov">S.E.C.</a>), hinted at a likely Ethereum ETF S-1 approval by the end of summer. This news may have likely caused the reversal in Ethereum price over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Ethereum blob usage has been trending up for about 5 weeks now as rollups continue to see more and more activity. Blobs improve the efficiency of Layer 2 (L2) transactions, reducing congestion and potentially cutting down on gas fees. 
<h2 id="span-style-font-weight-400-bottom-line-span">Bottom Line</h2> 
Spot ETFs for crypto assets have historically been great price boosters. As summer approaches an end, the crypto markets watch closely for Ethereum Spot ETF approval. By releasing this information, Ethereum investors are now in a buy-the-rumor phase that may last until the eventual approval of the ETF.
