<p>However, veteran trader <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-analysis/ethereum-next-target-1651-peter-brandts-prediction/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Peter Brandt </a>has already shared a bearish outlook for ETH. According to his latest post, there is a high possibility that ETH could fall to the $1,600 level. Meanwhile, the bearish market sentiment, the current price action pattern, and the significant dump have made the ETH extremely bearish.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ether-price-analysis"><strong>Ether price analysis</strong></h3>

Meanwhile, its trading volume has dropped by 47%, indicating lower participation from traders in this highly volatile market. Additionally, ETH’s open interest has remained stable over the last 24 hours, suggesting no major interest from investors amidst the ongoing selling pressure.</p>
