BlackRock, an investment management firm, sold more than 4,000 Ethereum tokens. These were collectively worth over $20 million. BlackRock previously bought more than 1,700 Bitcoin tokens for over $200 million. Selling Ether triggered speculation around ETH price correction ahead of rate cuts. Nevertheless, BTC price and ETH price predictions seem bullish.
According to a report by Whale Insider, BackRock sold 4,489.62 Ethereum tokens. The ETH price translated to approximately $20.3 million at the time of the transaction. It is anticipated that ETH price could undergo correction in the days to come.

Some community members believe that the objective was to buy dominance instead of crypto price dips. The dominance of Bitcoin tokens is over 57% with the market cap of $2.33 trillion at the moment.
Predictions around BTC price and ETH price are bullish when the article is being drafted. ETH price is expected to breach the mark of $5k with a jump of 11.41% in the next 30 days. Ongoing volatility is 3.35% with an FGI rating of 53 points. However, overall sentiments around the Ethereum token are neutral, possibly because the Federal Reserve is yet to confirm rate cuts.
Predictions and sentiments around Bitcoin are bullish. BTC price is expected to soar by 3.34% from its current value. Thereby, reaching an exchange rate of around $120,253. Ongoing volatility is 2.06% with an FGI rating of 53 points. It remains to be seen if BTC price achieves a new ATH, or sinks to a new monthly ATL.
