Ethereum (ETH) is currently priced at $2,100, significantly lower than its monthly peak of $2,450. The cryptocurrency is facing downward pressure as institutional investors appear to be offloading their holdings, with Ethereum ETFs experiencing over $300 million in outflows recently. This trend has coincided with a decline in Ethereum's fundamentals; the total value locked in its decentralized finance ecosystem has plummeted from $91 billion in August to just $42 billion. Additionally, Ethereum's chain fees have dropped to $39 million last quarter, marking the lowest earnings in years compared to a peak of $1.15 billion earlier in 2024. Technical indicators further suggest a bearish outlook, as Ethereum remains below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average and is forming an inverted cup-and-handle pattern, with critical support at $1,947. If this level is breached, the price could potentially fall to the year-to-date low of $1,734.
