Ethereum’s Wobbly Dance: Will It Trip Below $2,620?

by

As the calendar flips to February of this unremarkable year, Ethereum finds itself teetering on a precipice of uncertainty, much like a tightrope walker in a circus act-only this performance lacks the applause. Beneath the watchful eyes of traders, the cryptocurrency hovers, at once precarious and hopeful, skirting the edge of levels that once whispered promises of stability.

The Balancing Act of Key Levels

Once a stalwart sentinel at $2,710 since the winter of December, our dear Ethereum has stumbled into the abyss below this threshold, leaving analysts like Ardi to ponder if a more profound descent is imminent. “Very critical, indeed!” they exclaim, as if auditioning for a dramatic reading. Should ETH falter here, one fears the specter of $2,620 will emerge from the shadows, ready to claim another victim.

But lo! Should the dreaded $2,620 fail to provide sanctuary, the gaze shifts downward towards $2,450-a level that boasted strength in the bygone days of mid-2025. Ardi proclaims this zone to be “the main line of defense,” a fortress against the encroaching darkness. “Below that, things get extremely ugly,” they warn, with the urgency of a town crier heralding an approaching storm.

$ETH / Ethereum

An area of utmost gravity for the chart. Lose this $2710 support and the $2620 swing low is the next hunt.

~$2450 should stand as the last bastion against the macro slide. Fall further, and we plunge into chaos.

ETH/BTC gazes downwards with alarming speed. It appears we are in a veritable race to the bottom…

Presently, Ethereum trades around $2,730, with a 24-hour volume that could make a modest fortune blush-$45.3 billion, if one must know. Alas, it has slipped by 7% over the last day and, for the sake of drama, nearly 7% over the week. January was not kind, seeing ETH tumble almost 7% from its early-month heights, reminiscent of a balloon losing air after too many jabs.

In the past day, this digital marvel has flitted between $2,700 and $2,940, a range that feels like a game of hopscotch-albeit a rather dull one. Now languishing 45% beneath its former glory of $4,950 from the fabled summer of 2025, Ethereum seems to have taken a scenic detour through despair.

ETFs: The Unwelcome Guests

Oh, but the woes do not end there! Investor flows into Ethereum ETFs resemble a leaky faucet-January alone saw over $100 million drain away, following an even more dramatic exodus of $617 million in December and a staggering $1.5 billion in November. Such persistent outflows signal a waning interest from institutional titans, leaving mere mortals to wonder what remains.

Another voice in this cacophony, Ted, notes the fall from grace of the $2,800 zone, pointing to the $2,500-$2,600 range as the next promise of salvation. “This is most likely to hold in the short term for any bounce,” he suggests, while some traders keep their metaphorical helmets on, just in case.

Yet, amid this turmoil, a flicker of hope persists. Some analysts whisper of a potential reversal, with Bryant citing a “triple bullish divergence” that hints at strength where weakness once reigned, a glimmer of light in an otherwise shadowy corridor.

“This signals a stronger possibility for a reversal,” they assert, as if channeling the spirits of optimistic pasts.

Meanwhile, long-term watchers gaze upon trendlines like prophets studying the stars. Kamran Asghar poses a tantalizing question: could this support, which has held firm since 2022, be the mythical “buy-the-dip” territory? Sykodelic, ever the dreamer, forecasts a lofty target of $10,000, dubbing it a “reasonable minimum” for a full recovery, as if conjuring a phoenix from the ashes of despair.
