Following positive comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hinting at an impending rate cut, Ethereum (ETH) and other cryptocurrencies experienced a surge in price. Ethereum's price rose by 6.38%, reaching nearly $2800. However, amidst this bullish sentiment, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) sold a significant amount of ETH, sparking speculation within the crypto community. The EF, responsible for funding Ethereum development, has been selling smaller amounts of ETH in recent months, culminating in a large sale of 35,000 ETH worth $93.8 million on Friday. While some interpreted this as a bearish signal, ETH experienced a slight decline following the sale. Overall market sentiment remains bullish, with experts predicting a rate cut in September, which could positively impact the crypto market, including ETH. The recent price surge might also mitigate the impact of expiring ETH options, as the current price is above the maximum pain point. Despite the sale, the EF still holds a substantial amount of ETH, indicating continued confidence in the cryptocurrency. While Ethereum trades at $2750, long-term traders anticipate a sustained price rally, as the altcoin still lags on its monthly chart.
