Ethereum has seen a sharp sell-off that sent the price straight into a major demand zone near $2,150, which is now acting as the market’s last line of defense. Whether buyers step in here or fail to hold the line could determine if this move becomes a temporary liquidity flush or the start of a deeper trend shift. ETH Loses Key Support As Short-Term Momentum Turns Bearish Michael Van De Poppe noted that Ethereum has slipped below a crucial support zone, signaling increased short-term pressure. On the lower timeframes, price action has turned clearly bearish. However, zooming out to the higher timeframes, the broader structure remains intact, with ETH still trading within a larger uptrend.

At this stage, ETH appears to be searching for a higher-timeframe support level that could act as a base for a renewed move to the upside. Source: Chart from Michael Van De Poppe on X Van de Poppe highlighted the 0.025–0.0265 BTC region as a key support zone on the ETH/BTC pair. Importantly, the recent correction has already retraced more than half of the move toward this level, increasing the likelihood that demand could step in around that range. On the upside, he added that a recovery above the 0.0325 BTC level. While less likely in the near term, it would be a strong signal that bullish momentum has returned and a continuation of the broader uptrend. Despite ongoing volatility, Van de Poppe remains confident that Ethereum will significantly outperform Bitcoin over time. Thus, he will continue to accumulate ETH at these levels. Sharp Sell-Off Drives Ethereum Into Major Demand Near $2,150 In a more recent update , Dami-DeFi pointed out that Ethereum failed to hold the rising support line near the $2,800 level, which he had previously identified as critical.

In that case, price action would likely shift into a choppy consolidation phase, with ETH rebuilding structure between $2,150 and $2,700. According to Dami-DeFi, a meaningful bullish shift only comes into play if Ethereum can reclaim $2,700 and then establish acceptance above $2,850. Until those levels are recovered and held, any upside attempts are likely to remain corrective, with the market still focused on whether demand can firmly step in at current levels.
