For perspective, Bitcoin's leading digital asset has recorded a decline in open interest within the same time frame. Bitcoin’s open interest has dropped by 3.77%, as only 630,990 BTC were committed by investors.

Analysts have shared different perspectives on Ethereum as the crypto market has retained its consolidation phase. Veteran trader Peter Brandt predicts that ETH could hit $6,000 if the coin can sustain support at $2,150.

Meanwhile, in the broader crypto ecosystem, the NYSE has filed a new Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF) proposal on behalf of Bitwise. The move seeks to add staking to the Bitwise Ethereum ETF. This positive ecosystem outlook can help revive the Ethereum price outlook.
