Ethereum looks likely to move down toward a major liquidity cluster around $2,615, since there is very little liquidity above. x.com

Ethereum faces further downside as smart money sells into strength during distribution. A move toward $2,070 comes first; a break there puts $1,800 in view, with a possible local bottom near $1,600-$1,700 where liquidity sits. Until that sweep, bounces are for selling; a real reversal comes only afterward. x.com
Ethereum faces slightly higher near-term selling risk as net inflows raise Binance's sellable ETH supply. Some 55,471 ETH entered and 47,596 left, net 7,875, though both flows have slowed. If inflows persist this week with ETF outflows and high US Treasury yields, pressure could grow around the Fed decision. Rising cumulative ETH 2.0 transactions bode well for network use, not direct demand or relief today. Losing $2,280-2,300 adds downside risk; recovery needs flow and price confirmation. x.com
Ethereum's upside looks worth the bet because the payoff to its prior high is much larger than the downside, and buyers still respond to good news. There is roughly 16% down to $1,950 versus a little over 2x back to the prior all-time high. LIT caught a sharp bid around its US regulatory plans, and CHIP rallied 40% around a $1 million buyback; that response looks like a bull-market sign. x.com
Ether's price is falling while open interest rises, meaning leverage is building into the dump, a setup that tends to end badly for longs. x.com
Bitcoin keeps falling and Ether even more so because liquidity is being sought and there is distress in the system. Strategy is a target for put options. x.com
Ethereum is leading Bitcoin on rising liquidity and risk appetite, having already formed a higher high. On the weekly chart, clearing the 0.618 Fibonacci level at $2,535 opens a smooth path toward the 0.786 level and Ichimoku cloud resistance at $3,300+, where a first major correction or consolidation is expected before new highs. x.com x.com
Ethereum's strong ecosystem is not translating into enough ETH value capture to support significant appreciation unless that changes. The Ethereum Foundation selling ETH again is frustrating; buybacks and stronger incentives for L2s to accumulate and buy back ETH could improve the token's economics. Fundstrat, which owns roughly 5% of the supply, has a huge opportunity to push for better value capture. x.com x.com
Ethereum Foundation selling is the best sell signal in crypto: the last time it sold, ETH dropped 9%. x.com
ETH's return to $2,700 bears out the bottom call, because holders concentrated at $2,700–2,800 kept holding instead of becoming sell pressure. About 13.38M ETH now sits in that band, 380,000 more than two months ago, creating favorable conditions for the recovery. From $2,700 to $3,000 a large amount of supply flips from unrealized loss to profit, so that band should be fairly strong resistance, and whale behavior will largely shape what follows. x.com
Ethereum's liquidity is falling further behind Bitcoin's. ETH now has just 35–45% of Bitcoin's liquidity, versus at least 60% in 2025, with median ETH liquidity around $13–14M. x.com
