On October 18, 
Ethereum's price was trading near $2,417, following significant outflows from U.S. spot ether ETFs that totaled approximately $320 million last week. This development coincided with renewed pressure on the key $2,400 support level, despite a slight recovery over the weekend.
According to a TradingView chart using Bitstamp prices, Ethereum was valued at $2,416.70 at 11:17 UTC. The cryptocurrency's one-hour candles indicated ongoing volatility in the market.
The broader crypto market showed a more positive trend, with the total market cap at $2.83 trillion and 
Bitcoin up by 1.23% in the last 24 hours. However, Ethereum's 7-day performance remained negative at -5.01%, reflecting the impact of the ETF outflows.
The Fear & Greed Index stood at 59, indicating a 'Greed' sentiment, which suggests that while the market is optimistic overall, Ethereum's recent performance may be causing some concern among investors.

The chart plots ETH's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 ETH ≈ ₹254,788.02 (about $2,439.33), up 0.7% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 9.7% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
