This relates to an indicator called the scarcity index, which, as the data shows, has shifted positively.<\/p>\n<p>The upbeat outlook for the altcoin comes as Ethereum spot exchange-traded funds recorded a second consecutive day of net inflows with over $57 million on March 11, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Net inflows increased from $12.6 million on Tuesday, ending a three-day outflow streak.<\/p>\n<p>US spot ETH ETFs are also on track for another week of positive flows, with ETH price holding near the $2,000 level through this period.<\/p>\n<h2>Ethereum price analysis<\/h2>\n<p>Bulls have struggled since losing the $3,000 mark earlier in the year, and at current levels, hover about 30% down year-to-date.<\/p>\n<p>Macro and geopolitical headwinds have largely allowed bears to dominate. If BTC sinks amid the Iran war sentiment, Ethereum would likely plummet alongside it.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, despite overall sentiment, prices have held within the $1,800-$2,100 range in recent weeks, and $2,000 has emerged as a key short-term pivot mark.<\/p>\n<p>ETH presents a bullish outlook amid its consolidation around this level, with on-chain metrics such as stablecoin inflows, ETFs, and declining exchange reserves pointing to a potential uptick.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, technical indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence strengthen this perspective.<\/p>\n<p>The daily chart shows the RSI hovers near 50, neutral but trending upward. The MACD boasts a bullish outlook with the histogram bars green and expanding.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_363452\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-363452\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-source=\"CoinJournal\" class=\"size-full wp-image-363452\" src=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ETHUSD_2026-03-12_16-18-48.png\" alt=\"Ethereum Price\" width=\"1057\" height=\"613\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-363452\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/ETHUSD\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ethereum price chart<\/a> by TradingView<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If prices climb to the channel resistance, bulls may test the 50-day moving average at $2,188.
