Ethereum up 0.55% to US$2696.02

Summary

Ethereum (ETH) was US$2696.02, up 0.55% over 24h, per CoinMarketCap's own page data. CMC AI's price-analysis TLDR: Ethereum is down 0.85% to $2,680.49 in 24h, closely tracking Bitcoin's 0.76% drop, primarily driven by market-wide profit-taking after a recent rally fueled by softer U.S. jobs data. 1. **Primary reason:** Broader market cooldown as traders take profits after a macro-driven rally. 2. **Secondary reasons:** Negative social sentiment and sustained outflows from spot Ethereum ETFs. 3. **Near-term market outlook:** If ETH holds above the $2,635 support, it may retest $2,800; a break below risks a drop toward $2,450. The next macro catalyst is the Fed meeting on October 28.
