However, with BTC dipping, the ETH price followed suit and tested support near $2,600.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The price of Ethereum has returned above $2,620, and a CryptoQuant analyst says the top altcoin could see a short squeeze scenario. According to Shayan B, this outlook results from the rising leverage. If the bulls manage to break out above the supply wall around $2.7k, then ETH price could rise further.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Ethereum price outlook<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Currently, the market seems bearish on ether price prospects, which means many traders expected a downside continuation.
