CryptoQuant analyst warns Ethereum price may slide toward $1,500 despite record onchain activity

Onchain analytics firm CryptoQuant, through its head of research Julio Moreno, said Ethereum's price could decline toward $1,500 by late Q3 or early Q4 if the current bear market persists. The firm highlighted an "adoption paradox," where daily active addresses and internal contract calls on Ethereum recently hit all-time highs even as ETH trades more than 50% below its cycle peak and around $2,070. Moreno noted that elevated ETH exchange inflows relative to bitcoin and negative realized capitalization point to selling pressure and capital outflows that must reverse for ETH to escape bear market conditions.
