Ethereum is the world’s 2nd largest blockchain system, hosting 6,000+ decentralized apps (DApps). Furthermore, it is the foundation for several NFT marketplaces, DeFi protocols, and crypto trading platforms.
Its native token, Ether (ETH), has many use cases and is scalable. For this reason, it’s attracting more investors to the network. Since cryptocurrencies are volatile and fluctuate as several factors hit the market, ETH has tasted its share of the market rallies and dips.
Today, May 3, 2023, ETH is $1,868, a 61.75% price drop from its all-time high of $4,891 on November 16, 2021. However, the current price performance of the cryptocurrency projects a bright future for ETH.
Ethereum Price Trend
Ethereum entered 2023 with a bullish run, recording $1,196 on January 1 and $1,550 in 15 days (January 15). Amid several fluctuations, the asset touched $1646 on January 30 but ended the month at $1,567 on January 31.
It maintained the bullish trend from the beginning of February to February 8, when it traded at $1,671. By February 10, ETH declined $1,546. But the notable price moves inspired its market, causing more buyers to join the trend. By February 28, ETH recorded $1,634.
Ethereum faced more price rallies throughout March, even though it touched $1,438 on March 10. The strong bullish pressure got ETH to $1,815 on March 24 and $1,793 on March 31.
As of April, Ethereum beat its past 3-month performance, recording $1,821 on April 1 and $2,101 on April 15. Although there were several price drops, ETH’s month-end price of $1,908 was higher than its past month-end prices.
Despite the price gains in the past months, Ethereum is in the low-value range of $1,868 as of May 1, 2023. However, the cryptocurrency is up today, May 3, by 2.01% at the time of writing, trading at $1,866, compared to yesterday’s lowest price of $1,824.33.
Nevertheless, investors foresee more bullish runs in the nearest weeks.

Factors Affecting Ethereum’s Price
Investors’ sentiment, general market reaction to news events, ecosystem developments, and regulatory moves are factors that affect crypto prices. Here are some factors impacting Ethereum’s market.
Massive Whales’ Sell-off of Ethereum (ETH)

According to an On-chain analyst, Ali Charts, on Twitter, ETH whales have offloaded/sold off over 110,000 Ethereum in two weeks.
Although the reason for the offloading is not strongly defined, the market believes that the Shapella upgrade granted more people access to liquidate their locked assets over the years.
Although the Shapella upgrade added to the ETH price gains, the offloaded tokens figure proves it also negatively impacted Ethereum.
Reduced Number of Active Users

However, the monthly average of active #ETH addresses has been rejected by the yearly average, suggesting weak network fundamentals and reduced utilization. pic.twitter.com/c5Lsl7hhmf
— Ali (@ali_charts) May 1, 2023
In a Twitter post, Ali Charts, referring to Glassnode’s data, showed the increased number of active users on the Ethereum network. The analyst noted that this high number of total active users, blockspace demand, and transaction volume indicate a healthy adoption of the network, which contributed to the asset’s gain in the past week.
But the total active users on a monthly interval show weaker fundamentals and decreased network utilization. This state links to the current sluggish price gain of Ethereum as the users’ demand has reduced.
Ethereum Alternatives
Ethereum’s performance is encouraging and has a promising price outlook. Even so, some new alternatives have a disruptive roadmap to consider.
AiDoge (AI)
AiDoge aims to revolutionize the meme and AI sector with its combination of Artificial Intelligence and memes. This Web3 platform allows users to create memes by inputting text to guide the AI technology in finding unique matching results.
