Ethereum has officially broken key technical resistance, pushing above the $1,800 mark and signaling a return of bullish momentum. After weeks of uncertainty and selling pressure, this breakout suggests a possible shift in trend, with bulls now eyeing a reclaim of the critical $2,000 psychological level. Despite ongoing global tensions and the shadow of a trade war between the US and China, crypto markets are showing resilience, and Ethereum is leading the charge. Related Reading: XRP Network Activity Jumps 67% In 24 Hours – Big Move Ahead? According to data from IntoTheBlock, Ethereum’s market cap surged by 12% in the last 24 hours, highlighting renewed investor interest and capital inflows. On-chain indicators further support the bullish case, with the platform noting only modest resistance ahead. The largest concentration of potential selling pressure sits near $1,860, a level that could be cleared quickly if current momentum holds. While macroeconomic uncertainty remains a risk, Ethereum’s breakout above $1,800 and the relatively clear path to higher levels have traders optimistic. If ETH can maintain strength and climb past $1,860, the next stop could be above higher supply levels. With bullish energy building across the crypto market, Ethereum’s latest move could be the start of something much bigger. Ethereum Bulls Target $2,000 As Resistance Weakens Ethereum is setting up for a major move as price action shows clear strength emerging from low-demand zones. After weeks of choppy consolidation and bearish sentiment, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap is gaining momentum, hinting at a broader trend reversal. While global markets remain under pressure from rising geopolitical tensions, particularly the intensifying trade conflict between the US and China, Ethereum and other altcoins are showing signs of decoupling from traditional financial markets. This shift is encouraging investors who previously exited risk assets to re-enter with cautious optimism. Ethereum, in particular, is benefiting from renewed on-chain activity and increased buying pressure. According to IntoTheBlock, Ethereum has little standing in its way toward higher levels, with only modest resistance ahead. The largest potential sell wall has formed near the $1,860 mark, a key zone that could soon be tested. If bulls manage to break through this resistance level, the path to the psychological $2,000 level becomes significantly clearer. Given the strength of the recent rally and improving market structure, such a move is well within reach. Momentum is building, and Ethereum is once again emerging as a leading asset in what could become the next leg of the crypto bull cycle.

ETH Breaks Above Key Moving Averages Ethereum is trading at $1,800, showing strong momentum after breaking above both the 4-hour 200 MA and EMA for the first time since January. This technical breakout marks a shift in short-term trend structure, as bulls regain control of the market following weeks of bearish pressure. Now, the key challenge is holding the $1,750 level—precisely where both moving averages converge—making it a critical zone for confirming continued upside. A decisive move above the $1,800 level would further validate the breakout and open the door for a test of the $2,000 psychological barrier. This would signal renewed market confidence and potentially trigger a wave of new buying interest. However, if Ethereum fails to maintain its position above $1,750 or faces resistance near $1,800, the asset could enter a consolidation phase. This would likely extend the current range-bound trading between $1,700 and $1,850, delaying any swift return to higher valuations.

Ethereum is trading at key levels as price action consolidates above the $1,500 mark. After weeks of high volatility and macro-driven selling pressure, ETH is showing signs of stability — and analysts are watching closely. A breakout above nearby resistance could signal the start of a recovery rally, especially if momentum continues to build in the days ahead. Related Reading: Solana Short-Term Indicator Signals Potential Risk – Reversal Or Pause? However, not all market watchers are convinced. Some analysts believe Ethereum may still face another leg down before a true reversal can begin. According to on-chain data from Glassnode, the MVRV Pricing Bands — which reflect market-wide cost basis and investor sentiment — highlight the next major support around $1,367. Historically, buying ETH below this lower MVRV band has offered strong long-term returns, but also coincided with peak market fear. For now, Ethereum appears to be at a crossroads. A decisive move above short-term resistance could attract sidelined buyers and shift sentiment bullish. But failing to hold current levels could lead to a retest of lower support zones. The coming days may prove pivotal in defining Ethereum’s medium-term trend — and whether the bulls are truly ready to return. Ethereum Tests Market Nerves As MVRV Signals Opportunity This is a critical week for Ethereum, as price action will determine whether the recent consolidation above $1,500 can hold — or if further declines are on the horizon. Global tensions and macroeconomic uncertainty continue to pressure markets, with the ongoing U.S.-China trade war and instability in equities shaking investor confidence. While traditional markets tremble, crypto assets are showing early signs of decoupling. Ethereum, in particular, appears to be stabilizing and finding demand in the face of broader risk-off sentiment. Despite the volatility, some analysts believe the worst may be behind for Ethereum — or at least that current prices offer compelling risk-reward setups. Top analyst Ali Martinez shared insights on X, noting that historically, buying Ethereum below the lower MVRV Pricing Band has delivered strong returns. That key level, based on on-chain cost-basis data, now sits at $1,367. The MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) Pricing Bands help identify overvalued and undervalued conditions by comparing ETH’s market price to its realized price — the average acquisition cost for all ETH on the network. When ETH trades below the lower band, it suggests the asset is undervalued and often precedes price rebounds. Related Reading: Ethereum Analyst Sets $3,000 Target As Price Action Signals Momentum – Details If Ethereum holds current support and reclaims momentum above resistance zones, a recovery rally may follow. But if bearish sentiment regains control, a retest of the $1,367 MVRV support level could come fast. Either way, Ethereum’s price action this week will be key to understanding whether the market is shifting toward strength — or preparing for another leg down. ETH Price Holds Key Support, Market Awaits Breakout Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading at $1,620 after several days of sideways action, struggling to push above the $1,700 resistance level. Despite the lack of a breakout, ETH has shown resilience by holding firmly above the $1,550 support zone, a level that has acted as a floor during recent volatility. A decisive move is likely approaching. If bulls manage to reclaim the $1,800 level — where the 4-hour 200 MA and EMA converge — momentum could accelerate, setting the stage for a push toward the critical $2,000 psychological and technical resistance. Reclaiming that level would confirm a bullish trend reversal and likely spark renewed confidence across the altcoin market. On the other hand, if Ethereum fails to maintain its footing above $1,550 and selling pressure increases, a break below $1,400 would confirm a continuation of the broader downtrend. Such a move would test lower demand zones, with $1,367 — the lower MVRV Pricing Band — seen by some analysts as the next key support.

Cryptocurrency prices are starting to grind through a period of slow but steady gains in the past 48 hours, with Bitcoin again leading the charge and most altcoins lagging in recovery. In a recent post on the X platform, popular Bitcoin maximalist and CEO of JAN3, Samson Mow, described the misleading nature of unit bias among altcoins. According to Mow, Ethereum at $9,200, XRP at $5,800, and Solana at $3,400 is virtually impossible, given the current supply of these tokens. Unit Bias And Market Cap: The Numbers Don’t Lie Mow’s post on X challenges how investors perceive the value of altcoins like Ethereum, XRP, and Solana. He proposed a reframing of altcoin valuations by applying Bitcoin’s supply model to them. Bitcoin was created with a total possible circulating supply of 21 million units, with 19.85 million of those currently in circulation. Related Reading: Samson Mow Dumps Bitcoin Bombshell: Current Price Action Is ‘Manufactured’, Not Natural At the time of writing, one unit of 21 million Bitcoins is trading around $88,000. This price might be too much for retail traders. As such, the idea of owning a whole unit of XRP or Solana feels more accessible to newcomers and retail traders compared to buying a fraction of Bitcoin with the same capital. To expose how misleading this mindset can be, Mow reimagines altcoin valuations by dividing their total market capitalizations by Bitcoin’s 21 million supply cap. This is essentially asking what one unit of these assets would cost if they had the same scarcity of supply as Bitcoin. Based on current market caps, Ethereum would be valued at approximately $9,200, XRP at $5,800, and Solana at $3,400. Given the current price of Ethereum, Solana, and XRP, these figures are unrealistic and reveal how much of the altcoin appeal is driven by unit bias rather than actual value. Furthermore, it shows that Bitcoin has better fundamentals and scarcity in its supply dynamics. Narrative Of Bitcoin Dominance Getting Stronger For Mow and other Bitcoin maximalists, the disparity in Bitcoin supply and that of popular altcoins is yet another reason why Bitcoin dominance is likely to grow stronger in the long run. Notably, the inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs and increasing recognition among traditional finance investors are strengthening the case for Bitcoin’s dominance going forward. Related Reading: Is It Time For Altcoin Season? Bitcoin Dominance Rises To Major Rejection Zone Notably, Mow’s perspective stands in opposition to the outlook held by some analysts who still anticipate an incoming altcoin season. These analysts believe that Bitcoin dominance, despite currently sitting at a yearly high of 63.5%, could be on the verge of a reversal. One notable technical analysis even projected a sharp crash in dominance toward the 40% mark in the coming months. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $88,530, up by 1.3% in the past 24 hours. Ethereum is trading at $1,620, representing a 1.5% decline over the same period. Solana is down 0.5% at $140, and XRP is trading at $2.09 after a 1.63% decline in the past day. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
As Bitcoin (BTC) approaches the $90,000 mark, Ethereum (ETH) remains in a consolidation phase, trading just above $1,500. This divergence in price movements has sparked discussions among crypto analysts regarding the potential future trajectory of Ethereum, particularly in light of Bitcoin’s bullish momentum. Ethereum Bull Run Potential Crypto analyst Ali Martinez recently shared insights on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), suggesting that Ethereum could ignite a new bull run if it manages to breach the critical resistance level at $2,330. Martinez emphasized that a breakout above this supply wall could signal renewed investor interest and push ETH towards significantly higher prices. However, Ethereum has been trapped in a narrow range between $1,500 and $1,650 for the past week, lacking any substantial catalysts to spur an upward movement. Related Reading: Dogecoin Stalls After 42 Days Of Flat Price Action — Is A Breakdown Coming? The immediate focus for Ethereum bulls is the $1,600 level, which has emerged as a near-term resistance point. Market expert TedPillows highlighted that Ethereum has recently broken out of a downtrend for the first time since February 2025, indicating a potential shift in market sentiment. If ETH can hold above the $1,600 threshold, analysts speculate it could rally towards the $2,000 mark by April. Conversely, some analysts, including Crypto Fella, warn of the risks associated with Ethereum’s current stagnation. The importance of a swift upward movement; a failure to break through the nearest resistance could result in a drop towards $1,200, highlighting the precarious nature of the altcoin’s current position. Bitcoin Surges Past $87,000 In stark contrast, Bitcoin’s market performance paints a different picture. The cryptocurrency’s recent surge above $87,000 is interpreted by Nicholas Roberts-Huntley, CEO of Concrete and Glow Finance, as a clear indication that investors are seeking refuge in decentralized assets amidst rising tariffs, inflation concerns, and global economic uncertainty. This sentiment is echoed as the crypto market reacts to political tensions, particularly surrounding President Trump’s threats to remove Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for not expediting interest rate cuts. Related Reading: Bitcoin Surges Above $87,000 In Sudden Move — Here’s The Catalyst Youwei Yang, chief economist at Bitcoin mining company BIT Mining, provided further context on Bitcoin’s behavior in the current economic climate. Yang noted that while Bitcoin may initially respond like a risk asset—similar to tech stocks—during times of crisis, it tends to stabilize and exhibit characteristics of a safe haven asset akin to gold as market conditions improve. At the time of writing, ETH is trading at $1,584, posting losses of over 3% in the weekly time frame. Even more concerning, the altcoin is still down nearly 70% from its all-time high reached in the last bullish cycle. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
Crypto analyst Incognito has predicted that the Ethereum price could soon rally to as high as $2,700. This bullish prediction comes despite ETH’s underperformance so far, with the altcoin’s market share already dropping to new lows. Ethereum Price Could Rally To $2,700 As Wyckoff Accumulation Nears In a TradingView post, Incognito predicted that the Ethereum price could witness a big move to $2,700 with the Wyckoff accumulation almost over. He remarked that if support holds, the ETH should see a breakout of the falling wedge. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that $2,499 is the target for the falling wedge, while $2,700 is the second target that Ethereum could reach on this breakout. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Threatened With Sharp Drop To $1,400, Here’s Why However, Incognito warned that this could be a huge trap to shake out sellers, so he advised market participants to be looking to take profits. In the meantime, the Ethereum price could indeed break out to the upside, especially with the Bitcoin price attempting to reclaim the $90,000 level. The Ethereum price is likely to reach new local highs if Bitcoin can sustain this bullish momentum, given their positive correlation. In an X post, crypto analyst Ali Martinez remarked that this week would be big for ETH as the TD Sequential just flashed a buy signal, hinting at a potential shift in momentum. Martinez also raised the possibility of the Ethereum price recording a new bull rally. For that to happen, he mentioned that ETH needs to break the supply wall at $2,330. The leading altcoin could face significant selling pressure at that range, as 12.62 million addresses bought 68.63 million ETH around that range. ETH May Have Already Bottomed In an X post, crypto analyst Titan of Crypto suggested that the Ethereum price has already bottomed or may be bottoming out. He revealed that the leading altcoin is progressing within a giant ascending channel on the macro chart. His accompanying chart showed that ETH could rally to as high as $4,200 following this bullish reversal. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Suffers 77% Crash Against Bitcoin, On-Chain Deep Dive Reveals Reasons Why Crypto analyst Hardy also echoed a similar sentiment, suggesting that the Ethereum price has already reached its bottom. He noted that ETH’s weekly candle close was bullish and a good indicator of a potential reversal at the key support level around its current price. His accompanying chart showed that Ethereum could rally to as high as $4,300 on this bullish reversal. Ethereum price reclaiming the $4,000 level could pave the way for a rally to a new all-time high (ATH). Crypto analyst Crypto Patel predicted that ETH could reach between $6,000 and $8,000 by the end of the year. At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $1,639, up almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Ethereum and the broader crypto market experienced a small but notable pump yesterday, reigniting hopes of a potential trend reversal after weeks of sustained selling pressure. As market uncertainty intensifies, driven largely by global economic tensions and geopolitical strain between the US and China, investors are closely watching for signs of a breakout. Related Reading: Ethereum Enters Historic Buy Zone As Price Dips Below Key Level – Insights Despite the headwinds, analysts are starting to shift their tone. Some believe that the worst may be behind for Ethereum and that a strong move to the upside could be brewing. One of the most vocal among them is top analyst Carl Runefelt, who shared a bold outlook, suggesting that Ethereum “might go absolutely parabolic starting from here.” His analysis suggests that ETH is poised to break out from a daily descending trendline, which could serve as a key technical signal indicating va shift in momentum in favor of the bulls. As Ethereum holds above critical support levels and inches closer to a potential trend reversal, traders and investors are now watching closely for follow-through confirmation. If volume and sentiment continue to build, this could be the beginning of a significant rally — one that may reset expectations for the rest of the cycle. Ethereum Eyes Recovery Amid Rising Global Tensions Global tensions and macroeconomic uncertainty continue to weigh heavily on investor sentiment, with the ongoing trade war between the US and China sending shockwaves through equities and high-risk assets. In the midst of this fragile backdrop, Ethereum has managed to find a solid support level around $1,500 and is now attempting to reclaim higher ground. After weeks of selling pressure that erased bullish expectations for the year, ETH is showing early signs of recovery. Ethereum’s current price structure has become a focal point for market participants. The recent bounce from $1,500 marks a potential higher low, a technical setup often associated with trend reversals. If ETH can successfully push above the $1,700 mark and break the descending trendline, it could spark renewed momentum for bulls. Runefelt shared an optimistic view, stating that Ethereum could go up really fast from here. According to his analysis, the next key price target sits at $3,000, assuming a confirmed breakout above short-term resistance levels. Despite continued global risks, the Ethereum network remains fundamentally strong, with growing adoption in DeFi and real-world assets. If the breakout materializes and broader market sentiment stabilizes, ETH could lead the next leg of the crypto recovery. Related Reading: Metrics Reveal Solana Sees Uptick In Whale Activity – Accumulation Signal? Price Faces Key Resistance As Bulls Struggle for Momentum Ethereum is currently trading at $1,630 after another failed attempt to break above the $1,700–$1,800 resistance zone. This price range has acted as a major barrier over the past several weeks, limiting bullish momentum and keeping ETH locked in a broader downtrend. Bulls must reclaim the local high at $1,691, set last week, to signal a potential shift in structure and confirm the start of a recovery rally. A decisive move above $1,700 could open the door to a test of the $2,000 level, which would mark a significant psychological and technical milestone. However, the lack of follow-through on recent upside attempts reflects ongoing uncertainty across crypto markets, largely driven by macroeconomic tensions and risk-off sentiment.

If Ethereum fails to gain strength above current levels, a retracement toward $1,500 is likely, with the possibility of further downside if selling pressure intensifies. This level has served as a critical support zone in recent weeks. Without a convincing breakout, ETH remains vulnerable to renewed weakness and deeper corrections. All eyes are now on whether bulls can build enough momentum to flip resistance into support and avoid another leg down. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView
Ethereum is currently trading at a critical resistance level as bulls attempt to regain momentum and push for a fresh high. The broader market remains under pressure as global uncertainty escalates, largely fueled by ongoing trade tensions between the United States and China. Last week, US President Donald Trump announced a 90-day tariff pause on all countries except China, intensifying concerns about an extended trade conflict that could destabilize global financial markets. Related Reading: Ethereum Trades At Bear Market Lows: Fundamentals Signal Major Undervaluation In this high-stakes environment, Ethereum’s price action is drawing close attention from investors and analysts. Top crypto analyst Ali Martinez shared that historically, the best Ethereum buying opportunities have emerged when the price drops below the lower MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) Price Band—a level that signals potential undervaluation. Notably, ETH is now trading precisely in that zone. This alignment between technical conditions and macroeconomic instability suggests that Ethereum could be entering a phase of accumulation, with long-term investors looking to capitalize on discounted prices. However, sustained upward momentum will depend on whether bulls can overcome immediate resistance and whether macro conditions improve. The coming days could prove pivotal for ETH as it tests both technical and psychological thresholds. Ethereum Dips Into Historical Opportunity Zone Ethereum is currently trading below key resistance levels after enduring several weeks of selling pressure and weak market performance. Since losing the crucial $2,000 support level, ETH has fallen roughly 21%, a clear indication that bulls have yet to regain control. Broader macroeconomic pressures, especially rising global tensions and uncertain trade conditions between the US and China, have further dampened market sentiment. These conditions have driven many investors to exit riskier assets like cryptocurrencies, leading to elevated volatility and reduced market participation. Despite this downtrend, some analysts believe Ethereum could be nearing a pivotal turnaround zone. According to Martinez, one of the best historical signals for Ethereum accumulation has been price action dipping below the lower bound of the MVRV Price Band—a metric that compares market value to realized value to assess whether an asset is over- or undervalued. Currently, Ethereum is trading beneath that lower band. Martinez emphasizes that this positioning has typically preceded strong upside reversals, especially during periods of extreme market pessimism. While short-term volatility may persist, ETH’s entry into this zone could present a rare opportunity for long-term investors to accumulate at historically discounted levels—if market conditions stabilize and sentiment shifts. Related Reading: Cardano Whales Offload 180 Million ADA In 5 Days – Smart Profit-Taking? ETH Stalls In Tight Range Ethereum is currently trading at $1,610 after nearly a week of low volatility and sideways action. Since last Tuesday, ETH has remained locked in a tight range between $1,550 and $1,630, reflecting the market’s uncertainty and hesitation to take a clear directional stance. This narrow trading zone highlights a period of price compression, often a precursor to a larger move in either direction. For bulls to regain momentum and shift sentiment, Ethereum must reclaim the $1,700 level and push decisively above the $2,000 mark. These levels not only serve as key psychological barriers but also represent critical zones of previous support that have now turned into resistance. A breakout above $2,000 would likely trigger renewed buying interest and set the stage for a potential recovery rally. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Stalls In Tight Range – Big Price Move Incoming? However, if bearish pressure builds and the $1,550 floor is breached, Ethereum could quickly test the $1,500 support zone. A breakdown below that level would confirm further downside risk, potentially accelerating sell-offs and deepening the current correction. Until a breakout or breakdown occurs, traders should prepare for more consolidation and volatility as the market awaits a macro or technical catalyst.

Ethereum is trading below critical resistance levels after enduring weeks of heavy selling pressure and lackluster performance. Since breaking below the psychological $2,000 mark, the price has dropped more than 21%, signaling growing uncertainty among short-term investors. This decline has raised questions among market participants, especially as Ethereum’s on-chain fundamentals remain robust. Related Reading: Solana Turns Bullish On 8H Chart – Break Above $147 Could Confirm New Trend Top analyst Ted Pillows shared insights suggesting that ETH is now trading near bear market lows—yet the network has never looked stronger. Over 95% of all stablecoin transactions are processed on Ethereum, and it still leads in Total Value Locked (TVL) across DeFi and Real World Asset (RWA) protocols. It is also the only altcoin with an approved spot ETF in the US, and numerous upgrades are lined up to improve its speed and reduce transaction costs. Despite these strengths, Ethereum’s price remains suppressed, leading to growing speculation: is this just market sentiment at play, or could it reflect coordinated manipulation to shake out weak hands before a reversal? As Ethereum continues to dominate the utility narrative in crypto, many long-term holders see this downturn as a strategic accumulation zone, while others brace for more downside. Ethereum Fundamentals Shine Despite Bearish Market Conditions Ethereum is facing a critical test as it trades near major demand levels while macroeconomic uncertainty deepens. Global tensions persist as US President Donald Trump escalates his trade war with China. The recent 90-day tariff pause for all countries except China has done little to ease market fears. As economic pressure builds between the world’s two largest economies, investors are increasingly turning away from high-risk assets like crypto, driving volatility across digital markets. Ethereum, like the broader crypto market, has suffered under this weight. The asset is now hovering just above bear market lows after a prolonged decline, prompting concerns over its short-term price action. Yet, despite the technical weakness, Pillows points to Ethereum’s strong fundamentals as a reason to remain optimistic. According to Pillows, Ethereum remains the backbone of the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. It processes over 95% of all stablecoin transactions, commands the highest Total Value Locked (TVL), and leads the charge in Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization. It’s also the only altcoin the US has approved for a spot ETF, adding institutional legitimacy. With several protocol upgrades ahead aimed at improving scalability and reducing costs, Pillows believes Ethereum’s current valuation could represent a long-term buying opportunity. As he puts it: if you believe in fundamentals, ETH remains the top bet among altcoins. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Stalls In Tight Range – Big Price Move Incoming? ETH Price Stuck In Range: Bulls Eye $1,800 Breakout Ethereum is trading at $1,590 after several days of choppy price action between $1,500 and $1,700. The market remains stuck in this narrow range as bulls struggle to regain momentum amid broader macroeconomic uncertainty. The inability to reclaim key resistance zones has kept ETH under pressure, and a decisive breakout is needed to shift sentiment. Bulls are currently eyeing the 4-hour 200-day Moving Average (MA) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA), both sitting near the $1,800 level. Reclaiming this zone would mark a major short-term victory for buyers and could signal the beginning of a recovery phase. A clean break above $1,800 would also invalidate the current lower-high structure and potentially drive ETH toward higher supply areas near $2,000. Related Reading: Ethereum Whales Offload 143,000 ETH In One Week – More Selling Ahead? However, the downside risks remain. If Ethereum fails to hold above current support levels and dips below $1,550, the next leg could send the asset beneath the $1,500 mark. For now, the $1,500–$1,800 corridor defines Ethereum’s battleground, and traders are closely watching for a breakout that sets the next major direction. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView
Ethereum is trading at critical levels after enduring weeks of aggressive selling pressure. Since retracing below the key $2,000 mark, the second-largest cryptocurrency has struggled to regain bullish momentum. Currently down 21% from that level, ETH continues to hover near $1,580, reflecting a clear lack of conviction from both buyers and sellers. Related Reading: Solana Turns Bullish On 8H Chart – Break Above $147 Could Confirm New Trend The market has entered a period of extreme indecision. According to top analyst Daan, Ethereum’s price has remained notably compressed, barely moving over the past two days. This type of consolidation often precedes sharp price action in either direction, and traders are watching closely for signs of a breakout or breakdown. Macroeconomic uncertainty continues to influence investor sentiment, with global trade tensions and monetary policy concerns keeping pressure on risk assets like Ethereum. For now, bulls must reclaim the $1,850 resistance zone to confirm a trend reversal, while a drop below $1,500 could open the door to deeper losses. As volatility builds in the background, the current compression could be the calm before a storm—setting the stage for Ethereum’s next decisive move. Will it break out to the upside, or is more downside in store? Ethereum Compression Signals Breakout As Macro Pressure Builds Ethereum is facing a critical test as it trades at compressed levels following weeks of sustained selling pressure. The broader crypto market remains under pressure as global tensions escalate. US President Donald Trump’s trade war with China continues to shape macroeconomic sentiment, leaving investors cautious across all high-risk asset classes. Despite last week’s announcement of a 90-day tariff pause for all countries except China, uncertainty remains. The unresolved status of US-China trade relations continues to weigh on markets and is one of the primary factors driving hesitation in price movement. For Ethereum, this has translated into extremely low volatility and a stalled price structure. Daan shared insights suggesting that Ethereum’s price has been “extremely compressed” and has not shown meaningful movement for the better part of two days. According to Daan, this type of compression usually precedes a significant breakout—though the direction of that move remains unknown. Investors and traders alike are closely monitoring this setup, as compressed price action typically leads to large, momentum-driven shifts. With broader macro risks still in play, Ethereum’s next move could define the short-term trend and set the tone for the market in the weeks ahead. Related Reading: Ethereum Whales Offload 143,000 ETH In One Week – More Selling Ahead? ETH Bulls Aim To Regain Control Ethereum is trading at $1,590 after several days of sideways price action, hovering between support at $1,550 and resistance near $1,700. Despite holding above the lower end of this range, ETH has struggled to generate the momentum needed to break out and confirm a short-term recovery. For bulls to establish a stronger position, ETH must push above the 4-hour 200-day moving average (MA) and exponential moving average (EMA), both of which continue to act as dynamic resistance. A breakout above these indicators could trigger renewed interest from traders and signal the beginning of a recovery phase. However, the true test lies at the $2,000 level—a major psychological and technical resistance zone. Reclaiming this level would mark a shift in market sentiment and open the door to higher targets. Related Reading: Solana Retests Bearish Breakout Zone – $65 Target Still In Play? On the downside, failure to gain ground above the current range and a drop below $1,550 could quickly drag ETH below $1,500, increasing the risk of a deeper correction. For now, Ethereum remains in a consolidation phase, and the next decisive move will likely dictate whether bulls regain control or if sellers push prices into lower demand zones.

Ethereum is trading around the $1,600 level after several days of failed attempts to reclaim higher prices. Bulls are showing signs of life, but their momentum remains weak as bearish pressure continues to dominate the market. Despite a brief recovery bounce last week, Ethereum’s broader structure still reflects a clear downtrend. Related Reading: Solana Retests Bearish Breakout Zone – $65 Target Still In Play? The crypto market remains under the shadow of macroeconomic uncertainty, as ongoing tensions between the United States and China weigh heavily on global financial sentiment. No resolution or agreement between the two economic giants has been announced, leaving investors cautious and risk-averse. Adding to the negative sentiment, CryptoQuant data shows that Ethereum whales have offloaded approximately 143,000 ETH over the past week. This large-scale distribution reinforces fears of further downside, with long-term holders and large wallets choosing to reduce exposure rather than accumulate. While some analysts still see potential for a turnaround if key levels are reclaimed, the current market environment remains fragile. Unless Ethereum can regain and hold above short-term resistance levels, the threat of another leg down remains very real. Traders are now closely watching price action for signs of a shift — but for now, caution continues to lead the way. Ethereum Faces Selling Pressure As Whales Exit Ethereum is facing a critical test as price action continues to lack clarity, and support levels remain fragile. Despite brief attempts to rebound, ETH has failed to establish a clear bottom, and the downtrend structure remains intact. The market is struggling to define a strong demand zone, making it difficult for bulls to sustain upward momentum. As selling pressure mounts, analysts are warning that Ethereum may continue to slide toward lower demand levels in the absence of strong buying interest. Broader macroeconomic conditions continue to weigh heavily on risk assets like Ethereum. Global trade tensions, particularly the unresolved tariff standoff between the United States and China, have created uncertainty across financial markets. Combined with fears of a slowing global economy and lack of coordinated fiscal support, crypto markets remain under pressure. Adding to the bearish sentiment, top analyst Ali Martinez shared on-chain data revealing that whales have offloaded approximately 143,000 ETH over the past week. This large-scale distribution by influential holders has significantly weakened Ethereum’s outlook, reinforcing concerns that smart money is preparing for deeper downside. Since late December, ETH has remained in a prolonged bearish trend, with every attempt at recovery being met by renewed selling. Unless bulls reclaim key technical levels and shift market sentiment, Ethereum may continue to slide further.

Despite brief relief bounces, ETH remains locked in a bearish structure, unable to generate sustained momentum. For bulls to regain control, reclaiming the $1,850 resistance level is critical. This level aligns with the 4-hour 200 MA and EMA around $1,800, making it a key zone to watch for confirmation of a short-term trend reversal. Holding above these moving averages would signal renewed strength and possibly mark the beginning of a recovery rally. However, price action continues to struggle beneath them, and failure to push above these indicators would confirm persistent weakness. In that case, Ethereum may retest the $1,500 level or even dip below it if selling pressure intensifies. Related Reading: Ethereum Metrics Reveal Critical Support Level – Can Buyers Step In? The current environment is shaped by global tensions and macro uncertainty, with no clear catalysts to drive a breakout in either direction. As long as ETH remains below its key moving averages, the risk of another leg down remains elevated. Bulls must act swiftly to flip sentiment and avoid a deeper correction toward long-term demand levels. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView
Ethereum is trading above the $1,500 mark after a week of heightened volatility and continued global trade uncertainty. Macroeconomic tensions — driven by tariffs, shifting policies, and weakened investor sentiment — continue to weigh heavily on crypto markets. Despite the recent bounce, Ethereum’s price action still hints at a broader downtrend, with bulls struggling to reclaim key resistance levels that could trigger a meaningful recovery.

If bulls manage to push ETH above immediate resistance zones, a bullish momentum shift could emerge. Market watchers are closely monitoring cost basis levels to identify where strong demand may resurface. According to data from Glassnode, Ethereum’s Cost Basis Distribution reveals three key price clusters likely to shape short-term action. Among them, the $1,546 level stands out as the most significant, with 822,440 ETH previously accumulated in this range. A successful hold or breakout above this zone could provide a solid foundation for a larger recovery. For now, Ethereum’s outlook remains cautiously neutral, with bulls needing to reclaim higher levels to shift sentiment and challenge the broader downtrend. Ethereum Key Cost Basis Levels Could Define Price Action Ethereum has lost over 50% of its value since early February, setting the stage for a challenging but potentially pivotal recovery phase. After months of heavy selling pressure, ETH is now trading just above the $1,500 mark, a zone that could serve as a springboard if bullish momentum builds. While the broader market has shown signs of recovery, Ethereum’s underwhelming price action continues to test investor patience. Still, analysts believe a recovery rally is possible, especially if macroeconomic sentiment improves. Persistent global trade tensions, ongoing tariff battles, and US foreign policy shifts continue to inject volatility into financial markets. These factors have suppressed demand for risk assets like Ethereum, but some believe that the worst may be behind. Glassnode’s on-chain data offers a more detailed look at Ethereum’s short-term outlook. According to their Cost Basis Distribution analysis, three price clusters are likely to shape ETH’s near-term price action. Around $1,457, roughly 408,000 ETH were previously accumulated. At $1,546, over 822,000 ETH sit, making it one of the most critical levels. Finally, approximately 725,000 ETH were acquired around $1,598. These clusters reflect areas of high on-chain activity and are expected to act as support or resistance zones during the current phase of price consolidation. A breakout above the $1,600 level could trigger a more significant move toward $1,800 and beyond. For now, Ethereum’s price remains range-bound, but market participants are watching these levels closely for signs of a decisive shift. Related Reading: Ethereum Metrics Reveal Critical Support Level – Can Buyers Step In? ETH Faces Crucial Resistance As Bulls Fight to Regain Momentum Ethereum is currently trading at $1,580 after failing to break above the $1,700 resistance level, signaling that bullish momentum remains weak. Despite a brief recovery from recent lows, ETH has struggled to reclaim higher ground, and key resistance levels continue to weigh on price action. For bulls to confirm the start of a true recovery phase, Ethereum must push above the 4-hour 200 MA and EMA, both hovering around $1,820. A decisive move above these indicators would indicate renewed market confidence and open the door for a push toward critical demand levels around $2,000. However, the risk of further downside remains. If Ethereum loses the $1,500 support level, selling pressure could accelerate, potentially driving the price below the $1,400 mark. This zone served as a key level in early 2023 and could be retested if bearish momentum builds. Related Reading: Dogecoin Gears Up For A Breakout To $0.29: Can Bulls Hold Key Support? With macroeconomic uncertainty and trade tensions still dominating the narrative, investors remain cautious. The next few trading sessions will be critical for ETH, as it hovers between potential recovery and the threat of renewed decline. Traders should watch for volume spikes and reaction around the $1,700 and $1,500 zones to assess the next move. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView
Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is preparing for a potential rally towards the $3,000 mark, a level not towardseen since early February. This comes despite a tumultuous month in which the altcoin has experienced a nearly 20% decline in price, reflecting broader trends in the cryptocurrency market currently in a bearish phase given global economic concerns. Can Ethereum Break Through $1,600 For A New Bullish Trend? Over the past two months, Ethereum’s price has faced substantial headwinds, retracing approximately 67% from its all-time high of $4,878 reached four years ago. However, recent data indicates a slight recovery, with ETH gaining 9% on a weekly basis and currently trading above the key psychological support level of $1,500. Despite this rebound, trading volumes have dipped to around $12 billion in the past 24 hours, which suggests some caution among investors. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Forecast: What Experts Anticipate Following The Jump Toward $85,000 Carl Moon, a cryptocurrency analyst, recently shared insights on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), suggesting that Ethereum is attempting to break out of a descending price channel. He noted, “If there’s enough volume, $ETH might reach $3,000 in the coming days.” In Moon’s analysis, the $1,500 mark serves as a critical short-term resistance level, while the $1,600 barrier looms as the next significant obstacle that must be overcome for a sustained bullish trend to emerge. As long as ETH maintains its current position around $1,585 and buying pressure continues, a bullish scenario could unfold, preventing a drop back towards the yearly low of $1,380 reached just last week. Ascending Triangle Pattern May Lead To Key Support Retest Adding to the bullish sentiment, market expert Captain Faibik has also indicated in a social media update that the Ethereum price appears to have bottomed out and is poised for a strong rebound. Faibik projects that ETH could reach the crucial resistance level of $2,150 in the coming days if it successfully breaks out of a broadening wedge pattern, which could signal the beginning of a new bull run for the asset.

Bullish catalysts are currently lacking, and there is no clear direction for the altcoin. Ali Martinez, has pointed out that Ethereum is breaking out of an ascending triangle on the hourly chart. This pattern could lead to a potential retest of the $1,500 support level in the near term. If this support holds, it would signal a short-term victory for bulls betting on a renewed bullish trend for Ethereum. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
Ethereum is trading above the $1,600 mark after a turbulent period marked by heightened volatility and growing uncertainty surrounding global trade policies. As US President Donald Trump’s tariff measures continue to shake investor sentiment, crypto markets have struggled to find direction. Ethereum, like the broader market, is attempting to stabilize after weeks of aggressive selling pressure and macroeconomic headwinds. Related Reading: XRP Tests Ascending Triangle Resistance – Can Bulls Reach $2.40 Level? Despite signs of weakness, bulls are now trying to regain control. However, price action still suggests the downtrend may not be over yet. ETH must reclaim key levels to confirm short-term momentum for any meaningful recovery to unfold. Until then, caution dominates the market outlook. Glassnode data provides a hopeful perspective for Ethereum bulls. According to on-chain metrics, the most critical support level currently sits at $1,546.55—where whales accumulated over 822,440 ETH. This level could serve as a strong foundation for a bounce if tested again, as historically, zones with heavy accumulation tend to attract renewed buying interest. The coming days will be crucial for Ethereum’s trajectory. Holding above this support while pushing into higher resistance could be the catalyst needed to reignite bullish sentiment and reverse recent losses. Ethereum Tests Key Resistance As Bulls Eye Recovery Ethereum has surged more than 20% since last Wednesday’s low near $1,380, generating renewed optimism among investors hoping for a broader market recovery. Currently trading around key resistance levels, ETH appears to be forming a base for a potential breakout that could mark the beginning of a new upward phase. However, the path forward remains uncertain as global macroeconomic conditions continue to weigh heavily on market sentiment. Growing speculation of a policy shift following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 90-day tariff pause for all countries except China sparked the recent surge. This decision triggered a temporary risk-on sentiment across global markets, with cryptocurrencies benefiting from the momentum. Still, concerns about long-term US foreign policy and lingering trade tensions have left many investors cautious. While some analysts believe that Ethereum has already priced in the worst of the selloff, others warn that we may only be in the early stages of a broader bear cycle. Despite the divergence in outlooks, on-chain data suggests that a major support level has formed. According to analyst Ali Martinez, the most critical support for Ethereum sits at $1,546.55—an area where more than 822,440 ETH were previously accumulated. This level is being closely monitored as a potential pivot zone. If bulls can maintain price action above this threshold and successfully push through current resistance, it could trigger a strong continuation rally and restore confidence in the altcoin market. Until then, Ethereum remains at a crossroads, with the next move likely to be shaped by a combination of market momentum, geopolitical developments, and investor conviction. Related Reading: Dogecoin Gears Up For A Breakout To $0.29: Can Bulls Hold Key Support? ETH Price Struggles at Resistance: Bulls Must Reclaim $1,875 Ethereum is trading at $1,630 after setting a fresh 4-hour high around $1,691, slightly above the previous local peak. The short-term price structure suggests that bulls are trying to regain momentum, but the recovery remains uncertain without a clear breakout above key resistance levels. For Ethereum to confirm a true reversal and enter a bullish recovery phase, it must reclaim the $1,875 level — a zone that aligns with both the 4-hour 200-day moving average (MA) and exponential moving average (EMA). This critical level has acted as a major barrier since the downtrend began, and breaking above it would signal a shift in trend and market sentiment. However, failing to push beyond this range could send ETH back to retest the $1,500 support zone or even lower.

Ethereum might be on track to facing renewed pressure, according to an interesting technical outlook. Despite short bursts of recovery attempts, the broader market structure is still trying to flip in favor of bulls, but price movement shows that the bears are still in control. Notably, a recent technical analysis posted by crypto analyst Youriverse on the TradingView platform highlights a potential sharp drop in the price of Ethereum towards $1,400 if the current downward trend continues. Strong Rejection From Key Fibonacci Zone Hints At Persistent Resistance Technical analysis shows that the Ethereum price chart is currently characterized by a noticeable Fair Value Gap (FVG) on the 4-hour timeframe. This interesting gap was left behind after a steep 10% drop last Sunday, marking a strong area of seller dominance. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Looks Set To Crash To $1,000-$1,500, But Can It Fill The CME Gaps Upwards To $3,933 This gap represents a zone of clear imbalance where selling activity outweighs buying pressure and has influenced Ethereum’s price action throughout the past seven days. Earlier last week, Ethereum retraced into this gap, reaching the midpoint, but was met with swift rejection. This swift rejection showed the intense selling pressure present within this Fair Value Gap. Interestingly, the Ethereum price has returned to this Fair Value Gap again, and another rejection here could send it back to a bottom below $1,400. Furthermore, Ethereum is trading within an area identified as the “golden pocket” of the Fibonacci extension indicator, which is drawn from the $1,383 bottom on April 9. Unless price action breaks decisively above this level and heads toward the next Fib level of 0.786 at $1,724, there is still a risk of a significant rejection that could lead to further downside below $1,400. Stochastic RSI Weakness Suggests Possible Downturn Ahead For Ethereum In addition to the Fair Value Gap and Ethereum’s struggle within the golden pocket of the Fibonacci retracement zone, the Stochastic RSI is now introducing another layer of bearish pressure to the current outlook. This momentum oscillator, which measures the relative strength of recent price movements, is approaching the overbought region on the daily timeframe. Related Reading: Ethereum Pain Is Far From Over: Why A Massive Drop To $1,400 Could Rock The Underperformer Ethereum’s approach of overbought zone with the Stochastic RSI is due to inflows that have pushed the crypto’s price from the $1,383 bottom on April 9. Now that the Stochastic RSI is moving into the overbought zone, it adds to the bearish outlook that it could reject at the Fair Value Gap and start a new downside correction very soon. So far, the Ethereum price was rejected at $1,650 in the past 24 hours, which further supports the bearish continuation thesis. If the selling pressure builds again, as suggested by both the weakening RSI and persistent resistance at the Fair Value Gap, the analyst warns of a breakdown that could drag the price to as low as $1,400, or even lower. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $1,627. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview.com
Ethereum surprised the market with a powerful bounce on Wednesday, surging more than 21% from its recent low of $1,380. The move came shortly after US President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China, which now faces a 145% tariff. This development injected optimism into global markets, triggering a broad recovery across risk assets — with ETH among the top beneficiaries. Related Reading: Dogecoin Whales Buy Over 80 Million DOGE In 24 Hours – Sign Of Recovery? Despite the relief rally, Ethereum still trades below critical technical levels, and the broader price structure suggests ongoing consolidation rather than a confirmed reversal. Analysts remain cautious, as the asset’s inability to reclaim the $1,800–$2,000 range keeps the long-term trend in question. However, on-chain data from CryptoQuant adds an intriguing layer to the current outlook. Ethereum’s price is still trading below its realized price — the average price at which all ETH in circulation last moved. Historically, this scenario has represented a high-probability accumulation zone, often appearing once per cycle. According to some analysts, this could present a rare buying opportunity for contrarian investors willing to look beyond short-term volatility and macro uncertainty. As Ethereum continues to consolidate, all eyes are on whether bulls can build on this momentum. Ethereum Faces Critical Test Amid Volatility And Trade Tensions Ethereum is at a pivotal point after enduring weeks of relentless selling pressure and extreme volatility. The broader market has been shaken by macroeconomic uncertainty and escalating global trade tensions, with US tariffs under Trump’s administration continuing to rattle investor confidence. The crypto market, particularly altcoins like Ethereum, has taken the brunt of this instability. ETH has lost over 60% of its value since late December, raising fears of a prolonged bear market. However, a shift may be unfolding. Bulls are beginning to reappear, with Ethereum bouncing and setting a strong support above $1,400. This recovery follows aggressive price swings not only in crypto but also in global equities, which have seen significant rebounds following the announcement of a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China. Still, Ethereum remains below crucial resistance levels, especially the $2,000 mark — a level that represents more than just a psychological barrier. According to top analyst Quinten Francois, ETH is currently trading under its realized price, which averages the cost basis of all coins in circulation. Historically, such conditions have presented rare buying opportunities. Francois suggests this might be a once-in-a-cycle — or even once-in-a-lifetime — chance for long-term investors to accumulate ETH at undervalued levels. The coming days will determine whether bulls can reclaim key resistance and shift sentiment toward a sustained recovery.

Price Action Details: Key Levels To Reclaim Ethereum is currently trading at $1,650 after failing to break above the $1,700 level, a psychological and technical barrier that continues to cap bullish momentum. Despite a sharp rebound earlier in the week, ETH remains stuck in a consolidation range and is struggling to find direction amid broader market uncertainty. For bulls to regain control and initiate a stronger recovery, Ethereum must push above the $1,850 mark — a level aligned with the 4-hour 200-day moving average (MA) and exponential moving average (EMA). These indicators have acted as short-term resistance since ETH fell below the $2,000 mark in February and reclaiming them is critical for confirming a shift in trend. Related Reading: Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Show Conviction: 63% Of Supply Hasn’t Moved In A Year However, if Ethereum fails to break above $1,750 in the coming days, downside risk increases significantly. A rejection at current levels could trigger another wave of selling, potentially sending the price below the $1,500 support zone. This would put further pressure on bulls and undermine recent gains. With market sentiment still fragile and macroeconomic uncertainty weighing on investor confidence, Ethereum remains at a crucial juncture where a decisive move above resistance is needed to shift the outlook from bearish to neutral.

The price of Ethereum has fallen on tough times during the second quarter of 2025, dipping to a low of $1,415 before somewhat recovering to linger around the $1,500 level. Crypto analysts are now offering their thoughts on what is driving the largest altcoin’s recent woes. Related Reading: From Joke To Juggernaut: Dogecoin Value Revolution Gets Nod From Global Asset Giant Bankless Cofounder Points To Community Attitude Problems David Hoffman, a co-founder of Bankless, has turned to social media site X to opine about Ethereum’s price issues. In Hoffman’s view, the actual problem isn’t what most mainstream critics have their attention on – rather, he thinks that Ethereum’s leadership and community culture are driving users away. Hoffman pointed to two particular instances of this issue: public expulsion of ETH staking platform Lido Finance and the brutal treatment of some traders who were referred to as “degenerate.” He asserts these actions demonstrate a trend of alienating users and builders on the network. ‘Stop Policing Behavior,’ Hoffman Says The cryptocurrency executive contends that Ethereum’s effort to manage user activity on what is supposed to be a permissionless blockchain has emerged as a central reason for its price drop. Everyone is midcurving why ETH’s price performance has sucked Ethereum leadership and culture have alienated users and builders by being hostile to its own app layer. We publicly exorcised @LidoFinance. We’ve shunned traders and degens. On a permissionless chain, we’ve tried… — David Hoffman (@TrustlessState) April 12, 2025 “If we want ETH to grow, the EF and larger community need to begin bringing in users and builders, not driving them away with a holier-than-thou culture,” Hoffman wrote in his post. According to reports, the Lido Finance platform has in the past received strong criticism from the Ethereum community regarding regulatory issues, centralization, and security concerns. On the other hand, some traders were accused of creating high gas prices and failing to back long-term projects. Ethereum Price Indicates Signs Of Recovery In spite of all this, Ethereum’s price has demonstrated a little life in the form of a 3% jump within a 24-hour time frame. This arrives at a vital juncture, as ETH had reportedly reached a five-year low in correlation to Bitcoin. There are some believers among the community. Leo Glisic is one of them who hopes for positive upside on Ethereum given its position as “infrastructure” for the future global financial system. In the opinion of Glisic, “Ethereum will be the settlement and interoperability layer, which is a winner-take-all market.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Maxi Takes Aim: Ethereum’s True Value?

Despite rolling out a large number of upgrades and innovations, the Ethereum price continues to lag behind Bitcoin (BTC) by a wide margin. Reports reveal that ETH has suffered a staggering 77% price crash against BTC — a decline likely fueled by a mix of technical, macro, and sentiment-driven factors. Notably, On-chain analytics platform, Santiment has now pinpointed and broken down the key reasons behind these price struggles. Ethereum Price Nosedives Against Bitcoin On April 11, Santiment released a detailed report on Ethereum, highlighting its almost four-year underperformance and the reasons behind it. Ethereum, once revered as the cryptocurrency most likely to dethrone Bitcoin, has recently suffered a brutal price decline when measured directly against BTC. Related Reading: Ethereum Pain Is Far From Over: Why A Massive Drop To $1,400 Could Rock The Underperformer According to Santiment’s on-chain data, Ethereum has crashed by approximately 77% against Bitcoin since December 2021. While the dollar value of ETH hasn’t completely collapsed, especially compared to other altcoins, the long-term BTC/ETH ratio still paints a gruesome picture for Ethereum holders. Notably, Ethereum has also failed to recover anywhere near its November 2021 all-time high of $4,760. In contrast, Bitcoin has surged ahead, reclaiming much of its market dominance and outpacing ETH across almost every timeframe. This disparity has led many traders and former maximalists to compare ETH to a “shitcoin.” Even worse, various mid to low-cap altcoins have already outperformed Ethereum over the short, mid, and long-term timeframes, causing further embarrassment for the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Based on Santiment’s report, the ETH/BTC price ratio chart alone is enough to trigger doubt and uncertainty among long-term holders. Behind The Scenes Of Ethereum Price Struggles Beyond price action and market volatility, Santiment reveals that there are fundamental reasons for Ethereum’s sluggish performance over the years. Some of the major criticisms that analysts and traders have pinpointed include technical, sentimental, and regulatory issues. Related Reading: Ethereum Goes Head To Head With XRP: Analyst Says ETH Will Outperform For This Reason Ironically, Ethereum’s Layer 2 solutions are one of the key drivers of its underperformance. L2 solutions like Arbitrum, Optimism, and zkSync are reportedly cannibalizing activity on the mainnet, taking investments from ETH while spreading investor attention thin. Secondly, Ethereum seems to struggle with complex roadmaps and communication, which has led to investor confusion. Major updates like The Merge and Shanghai have been difficult for investors to comprehend, making ETH feel less accessible than BTC. Thirdly, users remain frustrated by Ethereum’s relatively high gas fees and the slow rollout of key upgrades. This has pushed them toward more affordable and faster alternatives, significantly reducing adoption. Another primary reason for Ethereum’s crash against Bitcoin is ongoing regulatory concerns. Unlike Bitcoin, which has a more established legal precedent, Ethereum faces constant uncertainty about whether it could be labeled a security. Other points include ETH’s lack of investment appeal. While Bitcoin maintains the title as a stable digital gold, Ethereum appears to be caught in between, having no clear or attractive investment narrative. Moreover, newer blockchains like Solana and Cardano are also attracting a significant number of users with cheaper and faster solutions, ultimately pulling investments away from ETH. The final reason Santiment has identified for Ethereum’s long-term price descent is rising selling pressure. Post-upgrade withdrawals of stakes ETHs have created steady sell-side pressure, limiting growth and momentum compared to Bitcoin. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview.com
According to a recent X post by seasoned crypto analyst Ali Martinez, Ethereum (ETH) may have already gone through its capitulation phase for this market cycle. Notably, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap is down more than 55% over the past year. Is Ethereum Capitulation Over? Unlike Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins such as XRP, Solana (SOL), and SUI, Ethereum has endured a challenging two-year stretch. The cryptocurrency was trading at $1,892 exactly two years ago, on April 11, 2023, and is now priced around $1,560 – over 17% lower. Related Reading: Is Ethereum Repeating Its 2020 Trend Reversal? Analyst Predicts ETH To ‘Explode’ In Q2 2025 In contrast, BTC has surged from approximately $41,000 two years ago to $82,127 at the time of writing – an increase of nearly 100%. While SOL currently trades below its April 2023 price, unlike ETH, it did manage to reach a new all-time high (ATH) of $293 earlier this year in January. Understandably, sentiment toward ETH – among both retail and institutional investors – is hovering near all-time lows. However, Martinez believes that “smart money” may be accumulating at current levels, anticipating a near-term reversal. The analyst pointed out that Ethereum’s Entity-Adjusted Dormancy Flow has recently dropped below one million. Martinez added: This historically indicates a macro bottom zone, meaning $ETH might be undervalued and long-term holders are less inclined to sell. It also suggests: sentiment is low, capitulation may have occurred, smart money might be accumulating. For the uninitiated, Ethereum’s Entity-Adjusted Dormancy Flow is an on-chain metric that compares the market cap to the dormancy – the average age of ETH being moved – adjusted for unique entities instead of raw addresses. The metric helps identify whether the market is overheated or undervalued by tracking the behavior of long-term holders. If ETH follows historical trends, it may be approaching a momentum reversal. In a separate X post, crypto trader Merlijn The Trader suggested that Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) is nearing a peak, which could shift capital into altcoins and trigger a short-term rally. At the time of writing, BTC.D stands around 63.5%. A potential pivot by the US Federal Reserve toward quantitative easing (QE) could inject fresh liquidity into the market, possibly sparking a mini altcoin rally. ETH Demands Cautious Optimism While there are multiple signs that ETH may be close to bottoming out, some indicators suggest that there could be continued weakness for the digital asset before any meaningful momentum shift. Related Reading: Analyst Spots Key Ethereum Resistance Levels While RSI Hints At Bullish Divergence In a recent analysis, Martinez warned that ETH could fall as low as $1,200 if the current sell-off continues. Further, ongoing capital outflows from US-based spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETF) remain a concern for the asset’s short-term outlook. That said, crypto analyst NotWojak recently noted that ETH may be on the verge of a breakout, with a potential upside target of $1,835. At press time, ETH is trading at $1,557, down 2.3% in the past 24 hours. Featured image created with Unsplash, charts from X and TradingView.com
Even with the Ethereum price struggling amid the market downturn, there are still some who remain bullish on the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. One of those is pseudonymous crypto analyst NotWojak, who took to the TradingView website to share a rather bullish prediction for the Ethereum price that goes contrary to the current market sentiment. Bearish Ethereum Price Downtrend Coming To An End The Ethereum price is still stuck in an apparent downtrend. However, according to the crypto analyst, this could be ending anytime soon with two supply zones coming up. So far, there have been multiple liquidity sweeps across major levels, sending the Ethereum price towards lower lows. Nevertheless, this could turn bullish soon as they could suggest a reversal is coming for the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: This Crypto Analyst Predicted The Bitcoin Price Crash At $97,000, He Just Released Another Forecast Currently, the two supply zones called out by the analyst are the $1,425 and $1,600 level. As they explain, the $1,425 level has already been mitigated during the latest retracement. So, this leaves only the $1,600 level unmitigated. As such, this could easily turn this level into resistance in the event of an uptrend. Despite sellers still dominating currently with high volumes pouring into the market, the crypto analyst puts the bottom before $1,350. In this case, this level could be potential support and the breakout could begin from here. The target for this major breakout has been placed 20% above the current level, with the analyst setting a high $1,835 target. This could lead to further upside, especially if resistances are easily cleared from here. ETH On-Chain Ethereum’s profitability has plummeted with the price decline as only 32% of all investors are seeing any profit on their positions. On the other side, 65% of all holders are in losses and only 2% are sitting at breakeven price, according to data from the on-chain data aggregation website, IntoTheBlock. Related Reading: XRP Price Forms Rounded Bottom Within Descending Channel, Target Set Above $3 Ethereum whales have also been very active during this time and this could mean that large investors have been behind the selling that has crashed the ETH price. Large transactions rose from $4.8 billion to $6.48 billion by April 9 as the Ethernet price dropped back below $1,500. Average transaction size also grew during the this time from $4,048 to $5,415. This suggests that investors are moving more coins at the time, which could explain the increased selling that has plagued the cryptocurrency. If this continues, then the ETH price could see further crashes from here. At the time of writing, the Ethereum price was trending at $1,544, down 4.56% in the last day.

According to a recent X post by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, Ethereum (ETH) is inching closer to a critical demand zone that has historically marked market bottoms. Notably, ETH has declined by more than 21% over the past two weeks. Ethereum About To See Trend Reversal? Ethereum may soon witness a relief rally, as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap nears a key demand zone that has historically marked market bottoms and offered strong buying opportunities. Related Reading: Is Ethereum Repeating Its 2020 Trend Reversal? Analyst Predicts ETH To ‘Explode’ In Q2 2025 Sharing his analysis, Martinez posted the following chart, illustrating how ETH is likely approaching the -1 standard deviation pricing band based on Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Extreme Deviation Pricing Bands. According to the chart, the -1 standard deviation pricing band lies around $1,387, while ETH’s realized price hovers around $2,005. The last time ETH touched this band – back in July 2022 – it marked a local market bottom. For the uninitiated, MVRV Extreme Deviation Pricing Bands are on-chain metrics that help identify potential market tops or bottoms by measuring how far ETH’s current market value deviates from its realized value. These bands highlight historically significant overvalued or undervalued zones, often aligning with periods of extreme investor sentiment or price reversals. As ETH nears the -1 standard deviation pricing band, it suggests the asset may be significantly undervalued at its current price. Fellow crypto analyst TraderPA appears to support Martinez’s view. In an X post, TraderPA shared a weekly Ethereum chart showing that ETH’s price decline aligns with a low Stochastic Relative Strength Index (RSI) value – indicating the cryptocurrency may be oversold following the recent sell-off. The Stochastic RSI is a momentum indicator that applies the stochastic oscillator formula to RSI values rather than price, making it more sensitive and responsive to short-term movements. Unlike the standard RSI – which ranges from 0 to 100 – the Stochastic RSI ranges between 0 and 1, helping traders identify overbought or oversold conditions. Whales Losing Confidence In ETH While Martinez and TraderPA’s analyses suggest ETH may be undervalued, recent whale activity points to a possible loss of confidence. A previously dormant ETH whale dumped 10,702 ETH after nearly two years of inactivity, signaling weakening conviction among large investors. Related Reading: Ethereum Sentiment Dips Among Retail Investors, Yet A Breakout Looms Interestingly, the whale had originally received ETH back in 2016, when it was valued at just $8. Despite holding through the 2021 peak near $4,000, the recent price drop seems to have triggered a significant sell-off. Additionally, Martinez’s latest analysis suggests that ETH could drop to $1,200, as the asset continues to break below multiple key support levels. At press time, ETH trades at $1,553, up 5.5% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, charts from X and TradingView.com
Ethereum saw a dramatic turnaround this week, bouncing over 21% from its recent low of $1,380 in just hours. The sharp recovery came in response to an unexpected shift in macroeconomic policy: US President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries—except China, which now faces a steep 125% tariff. The news sent a ripple through global markets, sparking a short-term rally in risk assets, including crypto.

Ethereum, which had been under heavy selling pressure for weeks, appears to have found temporary relief. According to Glassnode data, long-term Ethereum holders are starting to fold, offloading positions at a loss after months of decline. Historically, these moments of long-term holder capitulation have often marked bottoming phases and preceded meaningful rebounds. While short-term volatility remains elevated, some analysts view this setup as a potential opportunity zone, especially for contrarian investors looking to accumulate during peak fear. The market now watches to see if ETH can hold its gains or if broader uncertainty will drag prices back down. One thing is clear: the next few days could be pivotal for Ethereum’s trend heading into the second half of 2025. Ethereum Finds Relief Amid Chaos, But Market Remains On Edge Ethereum is now at a pivotal crossroads after enduring weeks of relentless selling pressure and uncertainty. The recent surge from sub-$1,400 levels has offered a glimmer of hope, as bulls begin to push back against the downtrend. This bounce follows aggressive volatility not just in crypto but across global equities, with price action rocked by continued geopolitical unrest and macroeconomic instability. US President Donald Trump’s unpredictable stance on tariffs remains a wildcard, keeping global markets on edge. Since peaking in late December, Ethereum has shed over 60% of its value, triggering growing concern that a full-scale bear market may be unfolding. Many investors have already exited positions, while others remain sidelined waiting for clarity. Still, some see opportunity. According to top analyst Ali Martinez, long-term Ethereum holders have now entered what’s commonly referred to as “capitulation” mode—a stage when even the most patient investors begin to fold under pressure. Martinez believes this could present a rare window for contrarian buyers. “For those watching risk-reward dynamics, this phase has historically marked prime accumulation zones,” he shared on X. While Ethereum’s path forward is still uncertain, current sentiment suggests that a critical test is underway—one that could determine whether this recovery has legs, or if further pain lies ahead.

Bulls Look To Confirm Recovery With Key Breakout Ethereum is showing signs of short-term strength as it forms an “Adam & Eve” bullish reversal pattern on the 4-hour chart. This classic technical formation, which starts with a sharp V-shaped low followed by a rounded bottom, often signals a potential breakout if price action holds and follows through. For Ethereum, reclaiming the $1,820 level is the first step to confirm this bullish structure. If bulls can push ETH above this level with conviction, the next key challenge lies at the 4-hour 200 moving average (MA) and exponential moving average (EMA), both of which converge around the $1,900 mark. A decisive breakout through this zone would validate the recovery setup and could kickstart a more sustained move higher. Related Reading: Oversold Altcoins Like Solana Flash Bullish Divergences — Are Relief Bounces Coming? However, failure to reclaim the $1,800 level in the coming days may keep ETH stuck in a consolidation range. If rejected, price could remain rangebound between current levels and the lower support area near $1,300, where ETH recently bounced. For now, all eyes are on how price reacts to the resistance levels ahead, as bulls aim to regain control and shift the short-term momentum in their favor.

Ethereum (ETH) has plunged 30% over the past two weeks, reflecting broader weakness across the crypto market as the global economy reels from escalating tariff wars. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez warns that ETH could fall even further in the near term, potentially testing the $1,200 level. More Pain For Ethereum, But A Recovery Is Possible Ethereum continues to struggle amid global economic pressures. The world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap has dropped another 8.3% in the past 24 hours and is currently trading in the mid-$1,000 range. Related Reading: Is Ethereum Breaking Free from the Bear Trap? Analysts Weigh In Commenting on the recent price action, seasoned analyst Martinez highlighted that ETH could find key support at the $1,200 mark. He shared the following daily chart of ETH, showing how the digital asset has broken through multiple support levels since December 2024, when it was trading near $4,000. Meanwhile, renowned analyst Carl Moon noted that ETH is currently trading below its realized price of $2,000. He pointed out that the last time this occurred – back in March 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic – ETH had dropped from $289 to $109. On a more optimistic note, Moon added that ETH recovered swiftly after that steep decline. Based on historical trends, the current price level could present a potential buying opportunity for long-term investors. For those unfamiliar, the realized price for accumulation addresses – as shown in the above CryptoRank chart – represents the average price at which long-term holders acquired ETH. This metric has historically acted as a strong support zone. Is ETH About To Surprise The Market? With market sentiment approaching historical lows, confidence in ETH appears to be dwindling. The Ethereum Fear & Greed Index currently sits at 20, indicating “extreme fear” among investors. Related Reading: Is Ethereum Repeating Its 2020 Trend Reversal? Analyst Predicts ETH To ‘Explode’ In Q2 2025 Despite the bearish mood, some on-chain metrics and historical patterns suggest ETH could be on the verge of a strong bullish reversal – potentially catching investors off guard. For example, crypto analyst Mister Crypto recently drew a comparison between ETH’s current price action and that from 2020, suggesting that Ethereum could embark on a price rally by Q2 2025. Similarly, Ethereum’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Z-score hints that ETH may be undervalued at current price. The last time it was this undervalued – in October 2023 – it witnessed a sharp rally of 160%. That said, not all indicators are bullish. Rising ETH exchange reserves continue to raise concerns about potential sell pressure from holders. At press time, ETH is trading at $1,457, down 8.3% over the past 24 hours.

An Ethereum whale has dumped its ETH holdings after holding them for over two years, even through a bull market. This capitulation from the ETH whale suggests it might be a good time to offload the leading altcoin, with a further crash in the coming weeks a possibility. Ethereum Whale Dumps 10,000 ETH After 900 Days In an X post, on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain revealed that an Ethereum whale finally capitulated after holding for over 900 days, selling all their 10,000 ETH for $15.71 million. This whale had originally bought 10,000 ETH for $12.95 million at an average price of $1,295 on October 4 and November 14, 2022. Related Reading: Ethereum Pain Is Far From Over: Why A Massive Drop To $1,400 Could Rock The Underperformer The Ethereum whale didn’t sell any of their ETH holdings, even when the leading altcoin broke through $4,000 twice in 2024. However, the whale has now capitulated with the Ethereum price below $1,500, nearing their average entry price of $1,295. The investor sold the coins for a $2.75 million profit, while their unrealized profit was $27.6 million at its peak. This Ethereum whale isn’t the only one who is capitulating. As Bitcoinist reported, ETH whales have dumped over 500,000 coins in the space of 48 hours. This development is thanks to Ethereum’s massive crash, with the leading altcoin at risk of dropping lower. This decline is part of a broader crypto market crash, which has occurred due to Donald Trump’s tariffs. Trump’s tariffs have led to a major trade war with China, which has promised not to back down, further sparking concerns among investors. As such, the Ethereum price looks more likely to suffer a further crash in the meantime, which explains why these Ethereum whales are capitulating to cut their losses. Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial Also Capitulating? Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial (WLFI), an Ethereum whale, looks to be feeling the heat and might have already started capitulating. Citing Arkham Intelligence’s data, Lookonchain revealed that a wallet possibly linked to WLFI sold 5,471 ETH for $8.01 million at the price of $1,465, representing a loss for the whale in question. Related Reading: From Solana To Ethereum? Donald Trump’s World Liberty Spends $20 Million On ETH World Liberty Financial had previously bought 67,498 ETH for $210 million at an average price of $3,259. The crypto firm is now sitting on an unrealized loss of $125 million, seeing as the Ethereum price has declined by over 50% since their purchases. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez predicts that the Ethereum price will crash further in the short term, indicating that Ethereum whales like WLFI could witness more unrealized loss on their ETH holdings. Martinez stated that $1,200 could be where the leading altcoin finds its footing. At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $1,400, down over 8% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The Bitcoin price continues to lead the market and with each crash, it has taken down the altcoin market with it. Amid this, Ethereum has performed especially poorly, returning to prices not seen since seven years ago. As Donald Trump’s tariff situation rocks the market, the question on everyone’s lips is, where is the Bitcoin price headed from here? Market Experts Chime In On Bitcoin Price Crypto market sentiment has tanked to levels not seen in years with the Bitcoin crash into the $ 70,000 territory, and according to many, the battle is far from over. One of the experts who have said that the Bitcoin price could stay low during this time is Alex Guts, CEO of Banxe. Related Reading: Ripple Announces $1.25B Acquisition Of Hidden Road To Set Major Milestone According to Guts, the BTC price could continue to trade in a tight $72,000-$84,000 range during this time. Looking over for the long-term, the CEO sees “prospects staying bullish as adoption and policy support grow.” On the same note, while Trump’s policies and tariff wars have caused the markets to tank, expectations remain that this could be good for the markets in the long term. In an analysis shared with NewsBTC, a Bitunix expert analyst pointed out that what the Trump administration is doing is “igniting a regulatory renaissance for crypto.” He points out that all of the President’s actions since he took office have shown this, especially with his empowerment of crypto leaders. So, despite the market being down now, Trump’s moves could end up igniting further growth for the market. The Bitunix analyst warns that investors should not allow the news of the tariff wars to cloud their judgment. He outlines that sometimes it is imperative to implement new things in order to fix what is broken, likening it to ‘taking medicine’. As for where the Bitcoin price could be headed next from here, the expert analyst told NewsBTC: “Well, the recent price drop in major cryptocurrencies has worried retail investors, but we believe that Bitcoin could potentially reach $117k after the dust settles.” The Sad State Of Affairs Of ETH/BTC Despite being the second-largest cryptocurrency in the world, the Ethereum price has performed poorly, especially in comparison to Bitcoin. Looking at the ETH/BTC chart, there seems to be no support in sight as the crash continues. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Warns Of Volume Drop That Could Trigger 60% Bitcoin Price Crash To $49,000 So far, Ethereum has fallen to 0.01889 BTC, a level that has not been recorded since 2019. This suggests that Ethereum has completely retraced its gains from the past six years, plunging believers and supporters into deep losses. For a turnaround for Ethereum, it seems major news would have to come out to propel a recovery. Otherwise, the lack of support suggests that Ethereum holders have more turbulence ahead of them to deal with. Featured image from Dall.E, Chart from TradingView.com
Ethereum is facing renewed downward selling pressure, with the entire crypto market entering a fresh downtrend in the past 24 hours. This renewed selling pressure has seen the Ethereum price lose a strong support level at $1,800, causing it to fall by about 14.5% from its price 24 hours ago at the time of writing. The trading trend shows that the Ethereum price is about to break below $1,500, with one analyst even suggesting a potential break to $1,000. Yet, despite the sharp decline, technical patterns suggest the possibility of Ethereum revisiting much higher price levels upwards to $3,933, specifically to fill multiple CME futures gaps that are still open above. Ethereum Breaks Below Key Support, Larger Breakdown Ahead The loss of the $1,800 support has strengthened the bear case for Ethereum, especially amid broader weakness in the altcoin market. One of the more blunt takes comes from crypto analyst Andrew Kang, who argued that the price of Ethereum is actually overvalued. He described Ethereum’s $215 billion market cap as “ridiculous” for what he calls a “negative growth/profitability asset.” Related Reading: Analyst Reveals Bullishness On Ethereum Price At This Point, Can It Hit $4,000 Again? According to Kang, the momentum of speculative winds that used to ignite Ethereum’s price surge has run dry, and a revisit of the $1,000 to $1,500 zone is not only likely but overdue. What adds weight to Kang’s warning is how quickly the market appears to have validated his concerns. Since his statement, Ethereum’s market cap has dropped significantly, sliding to $186.5 billion at the time of writing. Although the decline is due to other market factors, the pace and depth of this decline suggest that investor confidence in Ethereum may be lower than expected, with no immediate signs of reversal in sight. If bearish pressure continues, Ethereum could soon find itself trading at the lower end of Kang’s projected range at $1,000. CME Gaps Above $2,500 Offer A Technical Outlook For Rebound Even as price action trends lower, Ethereum’s CME futures chart tells a different story. Titan of Crypto pointed out that three distinct CME gaps are unfilled above the current market level. These include a gap between $2,550 and $2,625, another between $2,890 and $3,050, and a partially filled third gap between $3,917 and $3,933. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Hits 300-Week MA For The Second Time Ever, Here’s What Happened In 2022 The CME gap theory is rooted in the observation that asset prices often return to fill these voids, even if the move takes weeks or months. In the case of Ethereum, the odds of a return to the CME gaps are very low in the short term. However, considering Q2 2025 is only just starting, there is still enough time to witness the buying pressure needed to fill these levels before the end of the year. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $1,540, down by 14.5% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview.com
Ethereum has extended its downtrend, setting fresh lows around $1,400 — a level not seen since early 2023. The continuation of selling pressure has shaken market sentiment, with many investors fearing that the worst is still ahead. Ethereum, down over 65% from its 2024 highs, has failed to find a solid support level amid broad market weakness and growing macroeconomic uncertainty. Related Reading: Ethereum Lags Behind Bitcoin In Q1 Performance Amid Market Downturn – Details Despite the bearish outlook, some analysts believe a turning point may be near. According to top analyst Ted Pillows, Ethereum is now deep in a capitulation phase. He suggests that while there may still be one final 5%–10% dump left in the tank — particularly given the recent weakness in equities — the broader market structure may be setting the stage for a rebound. Pillows points to a potential Federal Reserve pivot as a key catalyst. With traditional markets under pressure and volatility rising, a shift in monetary policy could bring relief. Historically, changes in the Fed’s stance have provided a strong boost to risk assets. If support from policymakers emerges, Ethereum could stabilize and begin recovering from its recent lows — but not before weathering one last wave of fear and uncertainty. Ethereum Capitulation Deepens, But Fed Pivot Could Spark Rebound Ethereum is trading at $1,450 after suffering a sharp 20% decline in just hours, marking one of its steepest drops this year. The panic-driven selloff has shaken investor confidence, with fear now dominating the market. Ethereum, once expected to lead the altcoin rally in 2025, has failed to deliver on those expectations. Instead, it continues to disappoint as bearish momentum builds and selling pressure intensifies. Wider market conditions are adding to the pain. Trade war tensions, policy uncertainty from the US President Donald Trump administration, and mounting fears of a global recession are dragging both equities and crypto lower. With the S&P 500 already down sharply, the fear of a broader financial contagion is rising. Pillows’ analysis supports that Ethereum’s current plunge reflects a full-blown capitulation. However, he suggests that the market could be nearing a turning point. “Maybe there’s one last dump left, but after that, it’ll bounce,” Pillows said. The key reason? A likely pivot from the Federal Reserve. Pillows points to a potential Federal Reserve pivot as the catalyst. With the S&P 500 down over 10% in just two days and volatility rising, any further drop could force an emergency Fed response. Historically, rate cuts and renewed quantitative easing (QE) have been bullish for risk assets like Ethereum. If a pivot arrives, Ethereum could quickly bounce from current levels — but only after one final shakeout. Related Reading: Solana Faces Defining Level At $120 – Will History Repeat? Ethereum Slides To $1,410 As Bears Maintain Control Ethereum has plunged to $1,410 after losing the crucial $1,800 support level, triggering a wave of aggressive selling and panic across the market. With no clear support zone immediately below current levels, bearish momentum appears firmly in control as ETH struggles to find footing. The breakdown below $1,800 marked a major technical failure, erasing confidence among traders and accelerating downside pressure. For now, the path of least resistance remains to the downside. If sentiment doesn’t stabilize soon, Ethereum could continue sliding into lower demand zones, possibly retesting levels not seen since early 2022. The lack of a defined support structure beneath current prices leaves ETH exposed to more volatility in the near term. Related Reading: Dogecoin Faces Make-Or-Break Support Level – Will DOGE Hold? However, hope remains for a recovery — but it hinges on a swift reclaim of the $1,800 level. A strong bounce back above this mark could signal that capitulation is complete and invite renewed buying interest from sidelined investors. Until then, Ethereum remains vulnerable, and any upside attempts will likely face resistance unless backed by broader market strength or a decisive macro shift. Bulls have a narrow window to flip the momentum before deeper losses set in. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView
Ethereum continues to disappoint investors as its decline deepens, sparking growing fears of further selling pressure across the market. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap has failed to hold key support levels, and analysts are increasingly warning of a potential drop below multi-year lows near $1,750. With no clear consensus on where the next reliable support might lie, sentiment remains shaky and uncertain. Related Reading: Massive Chainlink Demand Wall At $6.26 As 90K Investors Buy 376M LINK The broader crypto landscape has faced heavy volatility, but Ethereum’s underperformance stands out. According to IntoTheBlock, ETH significantly lagged behind Bitcoin in the past quarter. This disparity has raised concerns about Ethereum’s short-term strength and resilience, especially as it continues to struggle below the $1,900 level. As macroeconomic instability, regulatory uncertainty, and risk-off sentiment continue to pressure financial markets, Ethereum’s path forward looks increasingly fragile. Without a strong rebound or renewed demand, the current trend suggests a prolonged period of weakness. Until bulls regain control and key resistance levels are reclaimed, the outlook for ETH remains cautious, with investors watching closely for any signs of a potential bottom — or further breakdown. Ethereum Holds Ground As Tariff Shock, Underperformance Fuel Market Anxiety Ethereum is trading at critical levels following weeks of mounting selling pressure and fading bullish momentum. The broader crypto market has been hit hard by escalating macroeconomic uncertainty, largely driven by US President Donald Trump’s recent policy shifts and sweeping tariffs. These moves have rattled investor confidence, sending shockwaves through both traditional and digital markets. Among major assets, Ethereum has been one of the most affected. Bulls lost control in late February when ETH broke below the $2,500 level, triggering a steady downtrend that has continued to weigh on price action. Attempts to regain support have consistently failed, and ETH now trades near multi-month lows with no clear bottom in sight. According to data from IntoTheBlock, Ethereum underperformed significantly this past quarter — losing nearly 50% of its value- while Bitcoin dropped just 15% in the same period. This widening performance gap has become a point of concern for investors who once expected ETH to lead a 2025 rally fueled by Ethereum-based developments and broader adoption. Now, all eyes are on the coming weeks. If bulls can reclaim key levels and reignite momentum, Ethereum may still have a shot at recovery. But if a bearish sentiment continues to dominate, a deeper correction — potentially below the $1,750 mark — could be next. The pressure is on, and Ethereum’s next move could set the tone for the rest of the altcoin market. Related Reading: Dogecoin Faces Make-Or-Break Support Level – Will DOGE Hold? Price Action Details: Key Levels To Watch Ethereum is currently trading below the $1,800 mark, showing continued weakness as bulls struggle to regain momentum. The price remains firmly below the 4-hour 200 MA and EMA, both of which are clustered around the $2,000 level — a critical technical zone that previously acted as strong support. Now turned resistance, this area must be reclaimed for any hope of a sustained recovery. To shift the trend, bulls need to push ETH above $2,000 and ideally reclaim the $2,200 level, which would mark a break from the recent downtrend and signal the start of a potential recovery phase. Without that move, however, price action continues to favor sellers. The $1,800 level is now the last line of defense. Failing to hold and reclaim it quickly could open the door to a much steeper decline. If bears continue to pressure price below this zone, Ethereum may revisit levels not seen since early 2023 — with $1,750 and even $1,550 as potential downside targets.

Crypto analyst Doctor Profit, who called the Ethereum price dump, is now providing a bullish outlook for ETH. Based on his analysis, now might be a great time to buy Ethereum, which has so far underperformed other top cryptocurrencies. Analyst Says ETH Is Now Undervalued Following Ethereum Price Dump In an X post, Doctor Profit stated that ETH is undervalued now following the Ethereum price dump. He noted that the leading altcoin is sitting at a historical support at $1,800, the same support he had predicted that ETH would dump to. With this massive correction and fear in the market driving Ethereum to this support level, the analyst claimed that the altcoin is undervalued now. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Forms Megaphone Bottom Not Seen Since 2020, Here’s What Happened Last Time His analysis suggests that now might be a great time to accumulate ETH as the Ethereum price could rebound from this historical support. Indeed, some investors are already using this massive correction as an opportunity to stack up more coins. IntoTheBlock data shows that Ethereum’s ‘Concentration’ metric is currently bullish, indicating that ETH whales are adding to their positions. Besides Doctor Profit, crypto analyst Astronomer also believes that ETH is currently undervalued and predicts that the Ethereum price could revisit $4,000. He highlighted several technical signals that indicate that the leading altcoin could reach these highs. The analyst also alluded to the $1,800 support, noting that this range has historically been a launch pad for price recoveries. However, crypto analyst Kledji has predicted that the Ethereum price could still drop to as low as $1,400 before rebounding. He stated that ETH will likely consolidate around this range for a while before it rallies to this $1,400 target later this month. His analysis suggested that the altcoin’s downtrend depended on Bitcoin’s performance. Therefore, if BTC recovers from this range, ETH will unlikely drop to that $1,400 level. ETH’s Dominance Is On The Decline, But History Could Repeat Itself In an X post, crypto analyst Rekt Capital revealed that ETH’s dominance has dropped from 20% to 8% since June 2023 as a result of the Ethereum price dump. He then noted that Ethereum’s dominance has historically reversed this 8% zone to become more market-dominant. The analyst then raised the possibility of history repeating itself, with ETH recovering well and enjoying a higher market dominance. Crypto analyst Crypto Patel is also confident that the Ethereum price will rebound soon. His accompanying chart showed that ETH could bounce from this $1,800 support and enter phase 3 of the Wyckoff chart, sending its price to as high as $6,800, a new all-time high (ATH). Related Reading: Ethereum Price: Analyst Predicts ‘Most Hated Rally In Crypto’ At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $1,800, up over 1% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Ethereum is trading below the $1,900 level, facing ongoing selling pressure as the broader crypto market continues to weaken. After a sharp rejection from the $2,500 mark in late February, bulls have failed to regain momentum, and ETH has steadily declined — disappointing many investors who entered the year with high expectations for a bullish trend. The loss of key support levels has further damaged sentiment, and Ethereum’s price action remains bearish in the short term. Related Reading: Bitcoin Rejected At Descending Resistance Again – Is $78,600 Still In Play? Despite the negative outlook, there are signs of accumulation beneath the surface. According to data from IntoTheBlock, Ethereum whales are buying the dip. The largest ETH wallets added over 130,000 ETH to their holdings just yesterday — a move that suggests confidence from long-term players even as retail sentiment wavers. This accumulation could signal a shift in momentum if sustained, especially if whales continue to absorb supply while prices remain low. However, for any real recovery to take hold, Ethereum must reclaim critical resistance levels and show stronger buying activity across the board. For now, the market remains under pressure, but whale behavior could offer a hint of what’s to come once the current downtrend begins to ease. Ethereum Big Players Buy Amid Market Uncertainty Ethereum is currently down 55% from its December high, reflecting the broader pain across the crypto market. The selloff has been fueled in large part by rising macroeconomic uncertainty, with U.S. President Donald Trump’s aggressive trade policies and unpredictable tariff announcements adding to global financial instability. As traditional markets struggle to find footing, high-risk assets like Ethereum have been among the hardest hit. Bulls are having a difficult time defending key support levels, and price action suggests the downtrend may continue in the short term. With Ethereum trading well below the $1,900 mark and no clear signs of bullish momentum, the outlook remains fragile. Still, not all signals are bearish. According to data from IntoTheBlock, Ethereum whales appear to be accumulating. On a single day, the largest ETH wallets added over 130,000 ETH to their holdings — a move that suggests quiet confidence among major players. This level of accumulation, especially during periods of fear and weakness, often hints at a long-term bullish outlook. While price continues to trend lower, the behavior of these large holders adds to the speculative environment, signaling that some investors may be positioning early for a potential surge. If macro conditions begin to stabilize or sentiment shifts, Ethereum could benefit from this quiet accumulation phase — but for now, the market remains in correction mode. Related Reading: SUI Forms Inverse Head And Shoulders – Can Bulls Break Above $2.52? Technical Analysis: ETH Bulls Defend Critical Support Ethereum is trading at $1,830 following a wave of heavy selling pressure that pushed the price sharply below the key $2,000 level. Panic selling has gripped the market, with bulls struggling to regain control amid a broader downturn across the crypto space. The breakdown below $2,000 marked a significant shift in sentiment, turning what was once viewed as a consolidation phase into a deeper correction. At this stage, bulls must hold the $1,800 support level — a critical threshold that, if lost, could lead to a further decline toward $1,750 or lower. Holding above $1,800 would allow for stabilization and the chance to build a foundation for recovery. However, to signal a meaningful reversal, Ethereum needs to reclaim the $2,100 level, which now acts as short-term resistance. Related Reading: Chainlink Consolidates In Triangle Pattern – Is A 35% Breakout Imminent? Only a decisive push above that mark would confirm renewed strength and potentially reestablish bullish momentum. Until then, ETH remains vulnerable to further downside. With broader market conditions still uncertain, Ethereum’s next move around these support levels will be crucial in determining whether it can recover in the near term or slide deeper into correction territory.

Although sentiment toward Ethereum (ETH) remains largely pessimistic, crypto analyst Mister Crypto predicts that the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap could be on the verge of a parabolic rally, mirroring its historical price action from 2020. Ethereum About To Witness A Change Of Fortune? Following US President Donald Trump’s highly anticipated reciprocal tariff announcement, the crypto market took a sharp plunge, wiping out over $140 billion in the past 24 hours. During this period, ETH tumbled by 5% and is at risk of setting fresh cycle lows in the $1,700 range. Related Reading: Is Ethereum Breaking Free from the Bear Trap? Analysts Weigh In Despite the negative sentiment, crypto analyst Mister Crypto suggests that ETH may soon experience a sharp momentum shift. In an X post shared earlier today, the analyst noted that while retail investors may have abandoned ETH, large investors – commonly referred to as whales – have not. Mister Crypto shared the following chart, highlighting striking similarities between ETH’s current price action and its 2020 trajectory. He added that if history repeats itself, ETH could see strong bullish momentum in Q2 2025. Fellow crypto analyst CryptoGoos echoed Mister Crypto’s perspective, arguing that ETH is “extremely undervalued” at its current price levels. The analyst also shared a chart illustrating how ETH whales are accumulating the asset at a record pace. The data reveals that wallets holding between 10,000 and 100,000 ETH have been accumulating at an accelerated rate since early 2025. This trend persists despite ETH’s decline from approximately $3,350 on January 1 to around $1,700 at the time of writing. Another cryptocurrency analyst, Crypto Caesar, noted that ETH is likely approaching a bottom, as it is currently trading near the same price level it held four years ago. However, he cautioned that if ETH breaks below its current support, it could decline further to the $1,200 range. ETH May Have More Pain Ahead While whale accumulation suggests long-term optimism for ETH, some analysts warn that further downside may be imminent before a potential recovery. In a recent analysis, crypto market expert Cryptododo7 predicts that ETH may eye bearish targets around $1,130 to $1,200. Related Reading: Ethereum Flashing Bullish Signals, But Rising Exchange Reserves Raise Concerns – Details Similarly, analyst CryptoBullet highlighted that ETH has now touched the 300-week moving average for only the second time in its history – an event that has historically signalled a bearish trend. Despite these cautionary outlooks, market commentator Titan of Crypto recently stated that ETH is still on track to reach new all-time highs later this year. At press time, ETH trades at $1,777, down 5% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, charts from X and Tradingview.com
