Ethereum Price Prediction: Can ETH Hold $2,400 After the Fed's First Hike in Three Years?

U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs posted their largest monthly outflow on the Fed hike day, while staking and low exchange reserves kept supply tight.

  • On September 16, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 4.00%, yet Ethereum maintained support near $2,400 despite broader market volatility.
  • Over 42 million ETH is now staked, representing roughly 35% of circulating supply, while spot ETFs have accumulated $13.3 billion since July 2024, tightening available supply.
  • Ethereum now faces resistance around $2,428 and $2,519, while traders are watching support levels at $2,404 and $2,356 as the technical range tightens.
  • Development of the Glamsterdam upgrade stalled after a failed devnet test, pushing the mainnet launch toward late 2027 and delaying fee-capture efforts for layer-2 networks like Base and Arbitrum.
  • Institutional analysts project low odds of Ethereum reaching $5,000 before 2027, with fluctuating ETF demand remaining the key variable determining whether support at $2,400 holds through October.
