Ethereum price declined further on Monday, mirroring the broader crypto market slump. The coin was down by 6% and traded at $1,483 at press time, with its weekly losses at 17.7%. That performance seems likely to follow the tempo set by the global financial markets, which are on a steep decline in the face of a broadening trade tariff war.
Ethereum Price Pressured From Key Fronts
The weak performance by ETH is also reflected in the ETF market. According to Coinglass data, spot ETH ETFs recorded outflows totaling -$49.93 million in the week of March 31-April 4. That signals declining institutional interest in the coin, a sentiment which will limit the price upside. Ethereum price dropped by 12.5% on Sunday, its second double-digit loss on the daily chart in the last month.
The downtrend is likely to continue, as the ETHUSD trading volume has risen by 343% in the last 24 hour. The steep rise in volume amid declining prices affirms rising selling pressure.
In addition, Ethereum has taken a hit in the DeFi space, with its Total Value Locked (TVL) down by 9.2% in the last 24 hours to read $45.70 billion as of this writing. DeFi is Ethereum chain’s forte, as it accounts for 52% of the total market share. Therefore, underperformance in that front denotes a substantial reduction in ETH utility, which will add pressure on Ethereum price.
Ethereum Price Prediction
Ethereum price pivots at $1,590 and resistance at that level will keep the downward trajectory. The coin will likely find its initial support at $1,450. However, an extended control by the sellers will break below that level and could proceed to test the second support at $1,410.
However, if the price moves above $1,590, it will signal a shift in the momentum to the upside. The bullish move will likely meet the first hurdle at $1,620. Breaking above that level will invalidate the downside narrative. Also, such momentum could extend gains an push Ethereum price to test $1,650.
