Altcoin Apocalypse Predicted, Analyst Sees ETH Potentially Falling to $1,000

As crypto markets sink deeper into the red, analysts are predicting more pain for altcoins, while the outlook for Ethereum price doesn't look good in the short term. Moreover, total market capitalization has slumped to its lowest point in six months.

Timeline of Ethereum

Coinbase Cloud, the cloud division of the popular cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, has made a significant move to democratize Ethereum (ETH) staking by integrating Kiln's On-Chain Staking platform.

As of Monday, Coinbase Cloud clients can now let their customers stake however much ether they want, even if it's far below the 32 ether threshold needed to participate and earn rewards on the network.

Ethereum's price has taken a notably bearish turn, breaching several critical support levels and tilting on the verge of a concerning death cross. Despite these developments, there is a glimmer of hope as the price approaches a substantial support zone, hinting at the possibility of a temporary consolidation phase.

Predicting profitability in the cryptocurrency market is often likened to reading tea leaves. The roller-coaster journey of Ethereum (ETH) since its 2014 inception perfectly captures this unpredictability.

Amidst a broader market downturn, Fidelity Digital Assets, the cryptocurrency branch of investment behemoth Fidelity Investments, suggests that Ethereum is trading below its intrinsic value.

The cryptocurrency-focused arm of the renowned investment titan Fidelity Investments, which has over $4.5 trillion in assets under management, has recently suggested the second-largest digital asset by market capitalization Ethereum ($ETH) is trading at a discount.

ETH price, although rangebound between support at $1,600 and resistance at $1,700, shows signs of an upcoming trend reversal. An earlier attempt to steady the bullish outlook came to a sudden halt, with Ethereum retracing to confirm short-term support at $1,600.

Ethereum (ETH) has seen a gradual resurgence in price over the past five days, demonstrating resilience by holding firm around the $1,610 support level. Nonetheless, Ethereum's funds have been experiencing a dwindling trend in cash inflow over recent weeks.

The cryptocurrency world is under escalating cybersecurity threats, as evident from three significant incidents involving Binance (CRYPTO: BNB), Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) and a revealing FBI alert concerning the Stake.com theft. Leading this wave of cyber threats is a recent debacle at crypt exchange Binance, which found itself compensating users with 1 million Tether (CRYPTO: USDT)), worth $1 million.
