Traders suggest that Ether’s price falling to $3,209 has now put it in “buy” territory but warn it may not last once the “tremendous” impact of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) come into effect.&nbsp;
“There are 2 major zones to buy,” pseudonymous crypto trader Sheldon The Sniper told their 490,300 X followers in a July 24 X <a href="https://x.com/Sheldon_Sniper/status/1816234189500604739" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">post</a>. He pointed to $3,300 and below as the current buy zone and added that the $3,097 buy zone has already passed.
Sheldon further <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-etf-price-sensitive-inflows-for-days-kaiko">predicted that Ether could reach</a> $4,000 “in the next week or two,” reiterating their two suggested entry points as the “ones you ride to the next all-time high breaks.”

Ether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price">ETH</a>) is currently trading at $3,209 at the time of publication, down 7.68% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">data</a>.
The price has dipped another level below the closely watched $3,500 mark, around which Ether has been fluctuating since March 1, following spot Ether ETF trading debut that saw <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-etf-inflows-106-million-first-day-trading">$107 million in net inflows</a>.
However, future traders were expecting a larger price drop after the debut of Ether ETF trading. The 7.68% decline liquidated $42.53 million in short positions, along with just $2 million in long positions, according to CoinGlass <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LiquidationData" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">data</a>.

Ether is going to experience “tremendous” price action from ETF inflows, similar to what happened with Bitcoin following the launch of Bitcoin ETFs, when its price jumped from $40,000 to $70,000 following the launch, Michael van de Pope explained in a July 24 analyst <a href="https://x.com/CryptoMichNL/status/1816157060670673127" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">note</a>.

Van de Pope doesn’t rule out Ether doubling its price in the near term, either.
“Probably it’s very likely to suspect that a price rally from $3,500 to $7,000-7,500 is on the cards,” he added, predicting that the aftermath of the ETF launch may lead to short-term volatility.

Swyftx lead market analyst Pav Hundal recently told Cointelegraph he believes the “nearer-term goal” is for Ether to hit its <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ether-crypto-traders-price-expectations-spot-eth-etf">November 2021 all-time high of $4,890</a>.
