Ethereum (ETH/USD) is trading at $2,281.30 as of 11:22am UTC on 2 November 2026, within an intraday range of $2,250.35–$2,308.77. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Ether and bitcoin recovered modestly following last week's $6.3bn Binance security breach. The exchange subsequently resumed service and said withdrawals were stabilising after an initial spike. Meanwhile, the US dollar weakened ahead of the 3 November midterm elections, with the dollar index falling 0.5% to 101.45 (Reuters, 2 November 2026).

Ethereum technical analysis

The ETH/USD price trades at $2,281.30 as of 11:22am UTC on 2 November 2026, below its 20-, 50- and 100-day simple moving averages (SMAs), at approximately $2,359, $2,512 and $2,349 respectively. The price remains above the 200-day SMA near $2,157.

The 14-day relative strength index (RSI) reads 36.42, indicating relatively weak momentum without reaching oversold territory. The average directional index (ADX) stands at 31.17, suggesting an established trend without indicating its direction.

On the upside, the classic pivot at $2,400 provides an initial resistance reference, followed by R1 at $2,627 and R2 at $3,002. A move above these levels could bring higher resistance levels into focus.

On the downside, the 200-day SMA near $2,157 provides a potential support reference, followed by the classic S1 pivot at $2,025. A break below these levels could indicate further weakness, while a recovery towards the shorter-term averages may change the technical picture (TradingView, 2 November 2026).

Ethereum price history (2024–2026)

ETH/USD’s price traded around $2,500 in early November 2024 before rising to approximately $4,108 in mid-December. The price then eased, ending the year near $3,342.

The decline continued into 2025, with ETH reaching an intraday low of around $1,387 on 9 April. A recovery through spring and summer took the token to a record high near $4,950 on 24 August, before a decline over the following months. Ethereum ended 2025 near $2,970.

ETH opened 2026 around $2,970 and reached a January high near $3,400 before falling through the first half of the year. The token declined to approximately $1,506 in June, then recovered through July and August, moving above $2,800 in September.

October brought further declines, with ETH falling to around $2,180 before ending the month near $2,253. At $2,281.30 on 2 November 2026, ETH remained below its late-2025 highs but above its June 2026 low.

Latest Ethereum news and developments

$6.3bn Binance hack

Ethereum trades near $2,281.30 as of 11:22am UTC on 2 November 2026, following cryptocurrency market volatility linked to the $6.3bn Binance security breach. Ether recovered modestly as the exchange resumed service and reported that withdrawals were stabilising after an initial spike (Reuters, 2 November 2026).

Ethereum ETF outflows

Meanwhile, US spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded net outflows of approximately $431m during 26–30 October, marking five consecutive trading days of withdrawals (Decrypt, 1 November 2026). October outflows totalled around $1.61bn, the largest monthly withdrawal since the funds launched in July 2024 (Yahoo Finance, 2 November 2026).

2026 US midterm elections

Markets were also preparing for the 3 November US midterm elections, with the dollar index falling amid policy uncertainty. ETF flows, exchange-security concerns and election developments could influence cryptocurrency sentiment, although their effect on ETH's price remains uncertain (Reuters, 2 November 2026).

Capital.com analyst view: Ethereum

Continued outflows from US spot Ethereum ETFs could weigh on demand for ETH, while stabilising or recovering flows may provide support. Increased staking could reduce the amount of ETH readily available for trading, while withdrawals make staked tokens available again without necessarily leading to sales (Ethereum.org, accessed 2 November 2026). Regulatory changes could affect institutional access and compliance costs.

Monetary policy, political developments and broader market sentiment may also influence ETH's price (Reuters, 2 November 2026). Ethereum has historically experienced substantial price movements in both directions, while neither technical indicators nor third-party forecasts can reliably predict future performance.

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

FAQ

Who owns the most Ethereum?

Ethereum has no single owner. The Beacon Deposit Contract holds the largest amount of ETH at a single blockchain address, although these tokens belong to numerous staking participants rather than one entity. Among identified corporate holders, BitMine held the largest reported ETH treasury in September 2026, according to Arkham. Exchanges and investment funds also hold substantial amounts on behalf of customers, making beneficial ownership harder to establish. Holdings and rankings can change as tokens move between wallets.

How much ether (ETH) is there?

Ethereum had approximately 122 million ETH in circulation in early November 2026, although this figure changes over time. Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum has no fixed maximum supply. New ETH enters circulation through validator rewards, while the network permanently removes some tokens by burning a portion of transaction fees. The balance between issuance and burning depends partly on staking participation and network activity, meaning Ethereum's total supply can increase or decrease rather than following a fixed schedule.

Could Ethereum’s price go up or down?

Yes. Ethereum's price could rise if institutional demand increases, ETF flows improve or broader cryptocurrency market conditions become more favourable. Higher staking participation may also reduce the amount of ETH readily available for trading. Conversely, continued ETF outflows, increased staking withdrawals, regulatory restrictions or weaker market sentiment could weigh on prices. Exchange-security concerns and wider economic developments may influence both directions, while technical indicators cannot reliably predict how ETH will perform.

Should I invest in Ethereum?

Whether to invest in Ethereum depends on your financial circumstances, objectives, risk tolerance and investment horizon. Ethereum's blockchain supports applications and staking, while institutional interest through exchange-traded funds may influence demand. However, cryptocurrency prices can fluctuate considerably, and regulatory developments, security concerns and broader market conditions introduce further uncertainty. Third-party forecasts also vary widely and cannot establish future returns. This information is for educational purposes and should not be considered investment advice.

Can I trade Ethereum CFDs on Capital.com?

Yes, you can trade Ethereum CFDs on Capital.com. Trading crypto CFDs lets you speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset and to take long or short positions. However, contracts for difference (CFDs) are traded on margin, and leverage amplifies both profits and losses. You should ensure you understand how CFD trading works, assess your risk tolerance, and recognise that losses can occur quickly.
