Ethereum eyes a break below a yearly low. A price of below $1,000 beckons

Ethereum (ETH/USD) set its yearly low of around $900 in June 2022. Technical indicators show that the cryptocurrency is proceeding to test this low level. As of press time, ETH price was $1,085 with increasing bear momentum. Should the bearish trend continue, ETH could claim a new low in the year.

Despite ETH price weakness, Santiment data indicates that whales are still active on the cryptocurrency. On November 21, Ethereum whales scooped 947,940 more ETH tokens, valued at around $1.03 billion. The amount is the fifth largest on a single day this year. The increased whale activity indicates the belief that large investors have in the likely turnaround of the token. With a price of $1,000, the investors see a massive discount.

But ETH could fall further, and taking advantage of it at a lower level could be more attractive. The view is additionally supported by market sentiment, which shows bets on lower prices have intensified recently. Accordingly, around 75% of inflows into Ethereum and Bitcoin have been short products. The question is, where is the likely new price?
