Ethereum is currently trading at $1.182, down almost 6% in one week. Massive selloffs occurred in the last week due to negative market sentiment and Binance FUD. Analysts believe that Ethereum’s price could rebound to $1,300 from $1,070. It will also depend on Bitcoin maintaining the $16.5 support level.
