  • Ethereum is testing the $2,140 level after an intraweek low near $2,070.<\/li>\n
  • A technical breakdown raises the risk of a sharp decline to $1,350, CryptoQuant notes.<\/li>\n
  • Bullish catalysts could include regulatory clarity and continued institutional demand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Ethereum (ETH) briefly traded back above the $2,100 level on Wednesday after gaining about 1% over the past 24 hours as Bitcoin reclaimed the $77,200 mark.<\/p>\n

    While the rebound offered some relief for bulls, the altcoin remains under pressure following a sharp weekly decline.<\/p>\n

    Technical indicators continue pointing to elevated downside risk, with some analysts warning that ETH could face a deeper correction toward the $1,350 level.<\/p>\n

    Ethereum price today<\/h2>\n

    Market data during the US session on Wednesday showed Ethereum testing the $2,140 zone after rebounding from intraweek lows near $2,070.<\/p>\n

    The rebound followed several sessions of heavy selling, although ETH remains well below recent swing highs.<\/p>\n

    Ethereum is currently trading nearly 7% lower for the week and roughly 28% lower year to date.<\/p>\n

    The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering near oversold territory, which may suggest conditions for a short-term relief bounce.<\/p>\n

    However, ETH continues trading below all major moving averages on the daily chart, signaling that bearish momentum remains dominant.<\/p>\n

    Could ETH fall to $1,350 after a bearish breakdown?<\/h2>\n

    One of the primary concerns for bulls is Ethereum\u2019s breakdown below the support trendline of a triangle pattern.<\/p>\n

    The latest sell-off confirmed the structural breakdown on the daily chart, raising concerns that price action could mirror a similar technical failure earlier this year.<\/p>\n

    At the time, Ethereum\u2019s price declined sharply from the $2,800\u2013$3,000 range, falling roughly 35% over several days in February. If similar market conditions develop again, analysts warn that selling pressure could intensify further.<\/p>\n

    Analysts at CryptoQuant highlighted the downside risk in a recent market note.<\/p>\n

    \n

    \u201cIf Ethereum fails to reclaim the broken triangle structure, selling pressure could accelerate further, and price may target the $1,350 support level,\u201d CryptoQuant author and analyst Pelin Ay wrote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Macro conditions and weakening market flows have also added pressure to Ethereum\u2019s price outlook.<\/p>\n

    Ethereum\u2019s recent weakness has tracked Bitcoin\u2019s broader lack of momentum, with BTC slipping toward the $76,000 area in recent sessions.<\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, spot Ethereum ETFs have recorded seven consecutive days of net outflows.<\/p>\n

    Persistent outflows have increased concerns that the recent technical breakdown could develop into a more prolonged downtrend.<\/p>\n

    Contrasting views and potential support levels<\/h2>\n

    Not all market participants remain bearish on Ethereum\u2019s longer-term outlook.<\/p>\n

    Bitmine\u2019s Tom Lee said the recent pullback could represent a \u201cbuy low\u201d opportunity, particularly as Bitmine\u2019s treasury holdings now exceed 4.37% of Ethereum\u2019s circulating supply.<\/p>\n

    Some bullish investors continue pointing to longer-term catalysts, including stablecoin growth on Ethereum, increasing staking adoption, and expanding interest in tokenized real-world assets (RWA).<\/p>\n

    Market participants are also monitoring regulatory developments that could influence broader institutional adoption trends over time.<\/p>\n

    In the near term, traders will closely watch whether buyers can push ETH back above the $2,200\u2013$2,400 resistance zone.<\/p>\n

    Failure to reclaim that range could expose the token to another decline below $2,000, with some analysts identifying $1,350 as a possible downside target.<\/p>\n
