Breaking: This Level Is Crucial Now As Ethereum (ETH) Price Breaks Key Support

Ethereum ETH Price Support Level

Ethereum (ETH) price breaks below the key support level of $1,430 today, falling to a low of $1,287. Whales liquidating their ETH positions and the Fed‘s hawkish stance on rate hikes are driving the ETH price to fall after the Merge. In fact, experts have earlier warned that a further fall below $1,430 risks the Ethereum price dropping to $1,000.

Ethereum Price Breaks $1430 Support

Ethereum has lost over $60 billion in market cap in a week and over $35 billion after the Merge. Traders expected a drop in Ethereum price below $1,700 will trigger shorts. Moreover, whales liquidating their ETH positions before and after the Merge pushed the price to dive to $1,460.

As warned in a previous report, the Ethereum (ETH) price has reached an inflection point and a drop below the $1,430 support could cause the price to fall to $1,000. According to analyst Big Cheds, if the ETH price doesn’t rebound above the $1,270 level, it could quickly fall below $1,000. Moreover, analyst Scott Melker sees a buying opportunity at around $1,284.
