The ETH price remained stagnant as the spot Ethereum ETFs began trading yesterday at 9:30 a.m. NJT. By the close of business yesterday, the total ETF traded volume surpassed $1.1 billion, meeting speculation from ETF analysts. 
Meanwhile, <a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin/">Bitcoin price</a> hovers around $66,433 just a day before the start of the Bitcoin conference 2024. Ethereum is weak against Bitcoin, trading at $3,462 at press time, potentially turning the ETF launch into a sell-the-news event. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is receiving a boost as reports indicate that U.S. VP Kamala Harris might be speaking at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, which shows that the government might turn its stance on Bitcoin.&nbsp;

 ETH price chart

The ETH/BTC price chart shows a downtrend from the peak in late May, characterized by lower highs and lower lows. The chart indicates a potential falling wedge pattern, typically a bullish continuation pattern. Given the resistance zone around the 50-day and 200-day EMAs, a break below the lower trendline could confirm further downside. 
If the falling wedge resolves to the upside, <a href="https://coingape.com/price/ethereum">Ethereum price</a> may gain against BTC and surge as high as 0.0545 BTC to test the upper trend line. A break higher may catapult the ETH price to 0.0574 BTC, which coincides with the next major resistance. 
Conversely, if bears push the price lower, 0.0511 BTC presents a zone of robust resistance-turned-support.&nbsp; 
<a href="https://coingape.com/price-predictions/ethereum-eth-price-prediction/">Ethereum price forecast</a> shows the asset trending below the 50-day (0.0531 BTC) and 200-day SMA (0.0534 BTC), which provides immediate resistance for the asset pair. 
The <a href="https://coingape.com/price-predictions/bitcoin-btc-price-prediction/">BTC price forecast</a> Relative Strength Index (<a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/rsi-relative-strength-index/">RSI</a>) is around 45, indicating neutral momentum with a slight bearish bias. The RSI 14-day SMA (yellow) is offering resistance, which may make Ethereum’s price slide lower as bullish momentum decreases.&nbsp; 
A volume spike accompanied the launch of Ethereum ETF trading on July 23. The price consequently increased by 3.71% but has retracted after meeting resistance at the 50-day and 200-day EMAs.

The spot Ethereum ETF received massive hype and speculation weeks before its launch. Grayscale is the largest ETH ETF, with $8.6 billion in net assets.&nbsp; 
However, data from <a rel="nofollow" href="https://sosovalue.xyz/assets/etf/us-eth-spot">SoSo Value</a> shows Grayscale has had $484 million in outflows since the ETF launched. Nevertheless, the cumulative net inflow was a positive $106.78 million, cementing a successful first day of trading.&nbsp; 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"> 
 According to Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart, the first day of the 7 spot ETH ETFs had a total inflow of $107 million and a total trading volume of over $1.1 billion, of which BlackRock ETHA had an inflow of $266.5 million, Bitwise ETHW had an inflow of $204 million, and…

The mediocre performance of Ethereum may be attributed to the upcoming Bitcoin 2024 conference. The confluence of market-impacting events may have interfered with the speculated impact of the ETF launch.&nbsp; 
<h2 id="b-bottom-line-b">Bottom Line</h2> 
Despite the significant trading volume of over $1.1 billion in Ethereum ETFs, the ETH price has struggled to breach the $3,500 threshold. This suggests that high trading volumes don’t always translate directly into price increases. Following a successful first day of ETF trading, Ethereum price eyes a meager 4.2% against Bitcoin in the short term.&nbsp;
