<p>The price momentum of ETH was observed in the range between $2.6K and $2.7K from last Saturday to the 27th of August. Later, the price slid below $2.6K.</p> 
<p>Meanwhile, Ethereum’s <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/ethereum-whales-15m-loss-highlights-market-volatility/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">market sentiment</a> continues to stay in the fear zone, as the fear and greed index stays at 37. Moreover, the weekly update of Grayscale <a href="https://x.com/Grayscale/status/1829214516430676377" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">reveals</a> the top 10 crypto assets by 1-week returns, with Ethereum having secured 4th place this week.</p> 
<p>On the other hand, a whale <a href="https://x.com/lookonchain/status/1829342355314573706" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">claimed</a> 30,007 ETH, worth $78.67 million, and deposited 24,007 ETH ($61M) to Coinbase over the past three days, retaining 6,000 ETH, valued at $15.16 million. Simultaneously, a new wallet withdrew 21,912 ETH ($55.32M) from <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/coinbase-enhances-stablecoin-offering-with-eurc-integration-on-solana/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Coinbase</a> and staked it in Lido. Over the last 24 hours, Ethereum <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LiquidationData" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">observed</a> a $17.52 million liquidation as per CoinGlass. Meanwhile, the daily trading volume has plummeted over 23% to $14 billion.&nbsp;</p> 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-is-a-rebound-possible-for-eth">Is a Rebound Possible for ETH?</h3> 
<p>ETH observed a notable decline of 23.91%, trading at a low of $2,226 over the last month, the downfall continuing over the past week with a 4.38% plunge. The asset’s price has been range-bound between $2,809 and $2,433.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>The asset’s daily relative strength index (RSI) is 39.47, slightly closer to the oversold zone in the market.

<p>Ethereum’s successful breakout at $2.6K could pave the way for ETH to test the initial resistance at $2,696. Conversely, if Ethereum falls below $2.5K, it may enter into and prolong a period of consolidation. This could even push the asset’s price to $2,353.&nbsp;</p>
