Ethereum is facing mounting pressure after weeks of relentless selling and underwhelming price action. Since January, bulls have failed to regain control, and ETH has continued to bleed value in a market increasingly dominated by fear and uncertainty. With no clear signs of a reversal, the coming weeks could bring more pain for investors holding long positions.

Global financial markets remain on edge as trade war fears and geopolitical tensions intensify. This hostile macro environment has driven investors away from high-risk assets like cryptocurrencies, and Ethereum has been one of the hardest hit. The weakness in price reflects not only technical breakdowns but also a broader lack of confidence in short-term recovery.
Top analyst Big Cheds recently shared a technical analysis showing Ethereum is now trading at $1,840 — a staggering drop from its $3,400 level earlier this year. According to Cheds, this confirms the continuation of the current downtrend, with ETH now moving into lower demand zones that could offer limited support.
Unless bulls step in with strength, Ethereum’s outlook remains bearish. The market is watching closely to see if $1,800 can hold — or if deeper losses lie ahead as momentum continues to favor the downside.
Ethereum Under Pressure As Key Levels Collapse
Ethereum is in a critical position as it continues to lose key support levels under mounting selling pressure. After briefly reclaiming the $2,000 mark in recent weeks, ETH has once again fallen below this crucial threshold — a failure that has intensified bearish sentiment and placed bulls in a defensive stance. With each failed recovery attempt, investor confidence weakens, and analysts are now calling for a deeper correction in the coming weeks.
The situation is particularly delicate as Ethereum serves as the backbone for much of the crypto ecosystem. A sustained downtrend in ETH doesn’t just impact its own holders but also influences the broader altcoin market and DeFi sectors that rely on Ethereum’s price strength for momentum. The continued decline has heightened concerns that a prolonged bear phase may be unfolding.
Big Cheds shared a bearish technical outlook, pointing to the severity of ETH’s drop from its $3,400 local high to the current $1,840 level. According to Cheds, if the downtrend continues, the next key accumulation zone to watch could be between $1,200 and $1,300 — a range that previously acted as a strong base during earlier cycles.
If Ethereum falls to that zone, it would represent a correction of over 60% from its recent peak. Such a move would signal a major breakdown in structure and test long-term investor conviction. For now, bulls must fight to hold the $1,800 level and attempt to reclaim lost ground. Without a shift in momentum soon, the road ahead for ETH looks increasingly challenging — and the broader market may follow its lead downward.

Key Resistance Levels Remain Untouched
Ethereum is currently trading at $1,840, continuing to show weakness after failing to reclaim the 4-hour 200 moving average (MA) and exponential moving average (EMA), both sitting near the $2,100 level. These indicators have acted as strong dynamic resistance since December 2024, and ETH has consistently traded below them — a clear sign that bears remain in control of the trend.
This prolonged weakness below the 200 MA and EMA has reinforced the bearish momentum, with bulls unable to regain any meaningful ground in recent months. Until Ethereum can break back above these key technical levels, any attempt at a sustained recovery is likely to fall short.
A reclaim of the 200 MA and EMA could trigger a significant upside move, as it would signal a shift in short-term market structure and potentially spark renewed buying interest. However, even before that happens, bulls must focus on reclaiming the psychological $2,000 level — a major price zone that has repeatedly defined the battle between buyers and sellers.

If ETH can break above both $2,000 and $2,100 with volume, it may mark the beginning of a stronger recovery phase. Until then, price action remains vulnerable and tilted toward the downside.
