Ethereum fell below the two thousand five hundred level after the United States released a three point seven percent inflation figure. The drop followed the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting and the tax deadline on thirty‑first December. Market participants noted that the cryptocurrency’s volatility has increased as investors weigh monetary policy and fiscal timelines. The current price sits near two thousand four hundred dollars, reflecting a cautious stance among traders. The move underscores the sensitivity of digital assets to macroeconomic data. Analysts predict that sustained inflation could keep Ethereum’s price in a range of two thousand to two thousand five hundred dollars for the foreseeable future.
