Ethereum holds $2,400 amid Fed rate hike, ETF outflows, and US regulatory uncertainty.

Ethereum price briefly dipped below $2,400 but recovered to around $2,445 despite pressure from the Federal Reserve's recent interest rate hike, significant ETF outflows, and ongoing U.S. regulatory uncertainty. The Fed raised rates by 25 basis points to a 3.75%–4.00% range, tightening financial conditions and reducing speculative liquidity, which impacts Ethereum and other risk assets. Additionally, U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw combined outflows of approximately $520 million, with BlackRock’s ETHA ETF experiencing the largest withdrawals. Ethereum’s price movement now hinges on maintaining the $2,400 support level, with potential to test resistance near $2,450 and possibly $2,500 if momentum holds.

Ethereum is trading at Rp43.843.461 on Pluang, showing a 3.70% gain in the last day. The market remains active with a 63% buy order ratio and a typical hold time of 106 days. This data is current as of Sep 18, 2026 00:42 WIB.
