Ethereum sits at $2,400, dropping a brutal 4% on the day amid its bullish price prediction a week earlier. The largest altcoin absorbed a legislative gut-punch and is staring down a Fed decision that would rattle most assets, yet whale wallets are still buying.

The CLARITY Act failed to clear the 60-vote cloture threshold in the Senate on Tuesday, triggering an immediate 5% drop toward $2,400 as regulatory clarity got pushed further down the road. Despite that, the setback hasn’t broken the underlying bid.

ETH holds at $2,400 despite the CLARITY Act and Fed decision. Ethereum whale accumulation points to a bullish price prediction.

Exchange netflow data shows reserves falling by 159K ETH over five days, while wallets holding 10K-100K ETH, or the whale cohort, added roughly 200K ETH to their stacks over the past week. Retail, meanwhile, dumped about 192K ETH, continuing a distribution pattern that’s held since January.

Add in $121 million of spot ETH ETF inflows on Monday, and $216.4 million on Friday, and the divergence between institutional accumulation and retail selling becomes the real story heading into Thursday’s FOMC decision.

Ethereum Price Prediction: Will ETH Hit $3,000 This Week?

ETH is consolidating in a triangle pattern between support at $2,405–$2,485 and resistance at $2,535–$2,600. The 20-day EMA near $2,425 has held as a floor through the recent pullback, and volume has stayed constructive rather than capitulatory, a sign this dip is more consolidation than reversal.

A decisive close above $2,600 would confirm the breakout, opening a run toward the $2,800–$3,000 zone that Bitget’s analysts are flagging as the next psychological target. If ETH instead grinds sideways, the $2,400–$2,550 range could hold until the Fed decision clears the calendar.

A break below $2,350 would invalidate the setup and reopen the August lows near $1,880. With a 92.3% priced-in probability of a 25bp hike per the CME FedWatch tool. Thursday’s outcome is largely baked in, and the real risk is the accompanying commentary. Full breakdown available in this Ethereum price prediction.

LiquidChain Targets Early Mover Upside as Ethereum Tests Key Levels

ETH holders riding this consolidation are positioned reasonably well, but let’s be direct: a move from $2,400 to $3,000 on a trillion-dollar-plus asset is a solid 25% swing, not a multi-bagger. For traders chasing asymmetric upside, that math pushes attention toward earlier-stage infrastructure plays instead.

That’s the lane LiquidChain ($LIQUID) is building in. Liquid is a Layer 3 network fusing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana liquidity into one execution environment. The presale is priced at $0.014956 with $960K raised so far.

Its pitch centers on a Unified Liquidity Layer and Single-Step Execution, letting developers deploy once and tap all three ecosystems rather than fragmenting liquidity across chains. Verifiable Settlement rounds out the architecture.

Research LiquidChain before the next price hike.
