Ethereum (ETH) has seen a 17% drop in the last month, trading below $1,850 for the past few days. Amid its current performance, an analyst has warned investors the cryptocurrency risks dropping to 17-month lows if it fails to reclaim key resistance levels.

Ethereum Could See Drop To $1,550

Ethereum has been trading below a key support zone for the past two days, hovering between $1,750-$1,840 after failing to recover the $1,900 mark on Wednesday. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization lost its 15-month range in early March, dropping below $2,100 for the first time since December 2023.

Since losing this level, ETH has seen its worst performance in seven years, recording a negative monthly close for the fourth consecutive month. Analyst Rekt Capital highlighted that this performance validated Ethereum’s double top formation that developed within its $2,196-$3,904 Macro Range.

After breaking down from this range, Ethereum trades within a historical liquidity pool, between the $1,640-$1,930 range, and “effectively has positioned itself for a bearish retest” of the range’s top with its monthly close within this area, which could turn this level into a new resistance.

As the analyst explains, turning this level into resistance has historically seen ETH’s price drop to the current range’s lower zone. “In other words, turning the red level into resistance (red circle) has historically preceded a drop into the support at the bottom of the light blue historical demand area (orange circle),” he detailed.

As such, Ethereum must reclaim the top of this demand area “to challenge a move to the old Macro Range Low of $2,196.” Meanwhile, a rejection from the $1,930 mark, which it has been unable to reclaim over the past week, would see ETH risk a 15% drop to the $1,550 area.

Is A 20% Rally Coming?

Rekt Capital also pointed out that since June 2023, ETH’s Dominance has dropped from 20% to 8%, historically a reverse area for the cryptocurrency. When Ethereum’s Dominance touched the $7.5%-8.25% range, it reversed “to become more market-dominant,” which could signal a reversal for the King of Altcoins.

Several analysts consider that the key levels to watch are the $1,750 support and the $2,100 resistance, as a break above or below these levels will determine ETH’s next significant move.

Analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems suggested that Ethereum could eye a 20% rally based on a Power of 3 setup in ETH’s lower timeframe chart. The analyst highlighted that the cryptocurrency had an accumulation phase after dropping below the $2,150 support, hovering within the $1,840 and $2,100 levels since March 10.

After dipping below the $1,840 mark, the cryptocurrency has been in the manipulation phase, the chart shows, which could trigger a push to the $2,150 resistance if ETH breaks out and starts the distribution phase.

As of this writing, Ethereum trades at $1,808, a 2.2% surge in the daily timeframe.

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.

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.

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.

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.
