Ethereum price printed red for the seventh successive session in a row, signaling an impending break below the 1,800 support. It was the first such extended decline since August 2024, with the price having previously formed a death cross (the 50-MA crossing below the 200 MA line).
The Ethereum price decline is also reflected in the Decentralised Finance (DeFi) market where its Total Value Locked declined by 7.3% in the last month to read $48.9 billion as of this writing. That denotes reduced utility for ETH, which limits the probability of a near-term reversal.
Crypto prices are staring at an extended downtrend as pressure mounts in financial markets amid escalating trade war triggered by the United States. This has seen many traders adopt risk averse posture, limiting the demand for crypto coins. Ethereum price is particularly disadvantaged by its long-running underperformance.
The lukewarm performance is epitomised by its failure to register new highs despite the strong market momentum fueled by President Donald Trump’s election win in November 2024. As a result, only 40% of ETH holders are In The Money as of this writing according to Into The Block. In addition, the Ethereum’s exchange net flow rose in the last seven days from -$103 million to $112 million. That affirms rising selling pressure, which will likely see Ethereum price decline further.
Ethereum Price Prediction
Ethereum price pivots at $1,817 and the downside will prevail if resistance persists at that level. With the sellers in control, the ETHUSD pair will likely move lower to find its support at $1,783. Breaking below that level will signal a stronger momentum that could potentially take the coin lower to test the second support at $1,750.
On the other hand, the momentum could shift to the upside if the price breaks above $1,817. If that happens, ETH price will move higher, and will likely meet the first barrier at $1,840. Going above that level will invalidate the downside narrative, and could open the pathway to test $1,868.
