Ether price is down today, and several data points are beginning to suggest that further downside could be in store.  On July 24, Ethereum (ETH) experienced a drop close to its monthly low, reaching $1,825, amid Bitcoin’s negative price action, as uncertainty loomed over macroeconomic conditions and a potential whale sell-off.

SPX, DXY, BTC, ETH, XRP, BNB, SOL, ADA, DOGE, MATIC

Bitcoin (BTC) remains stuck inside a narrow range, making it difficult to predict the direction of the next possible breakout. The United States dollar index (DXY), which generally moves in inverse correlation to Bitcoin, dropped below 100 but that has failed to propel Bitcoin higher. This suggests that Bitcoin is charting its own course in the near term.
