The price of Ethereum (ETH) has risen by 1.4% in the past 24 hours, reaching $1,669 after millionaire trader KBM predicted that the altcoin is set to fall to around $1,400.
This forecast comes as ETH remains down by 7% in a week and by 10% in the last 30 days, with the biggest altcoin remaining up by 39.5% since the beginning of the year.
