Ethereum continues to face strong headwinds as it trades below the $1,900 mark, with bullish momentum fading and market sentiment growing increasingly fearful. After a brief attempt to stabilize, ETH has resumed its downward trajectory, now down over 35% since late February. Price action remains weak, and investors are bracing for more potential downside as selling pressure shows no sign of easing.
Contributing to the bearish outlook, on-chain data from Santiment reveals that whales have offloaded approximately 760,000 ETH in just the past two weeks. This significant sell-off by large holders adds weight to the growing concerns that the market may be entering a deeper correction phase. When whales exit in size, it often reflects declining confidence and triggers a wave of additional selling from smaller investors.
With macroeconomic uncertainty still shaking financial markets and Ethereum’s key support levels under threat, the outlook for ETH remains fragile. Bulls must act fast to reclaim momentum and prevent a slide into lower demand zones. Until then, the combination of fading demand, technical weakness, and aggressive whale selling continues to cloud Ethereum’s near-term path, leaving traders on edge as the next move unfolds.
Ethereum Whale Selling Grows and Market Confidence Fades
Ethereum continues to show signs of sustained selling pressure, and the broader market is starting to accept that the current downtrend may persist. With ETH trading well below key resistance levels and struggling to hold above $1,900, confidence among traders and investors is weakening. Macroeconomic uncertainty, fueled by rising global tensions, unstable interest rate expectations, and unpredictable policy moves, has shaken financial markets. High-risk assets like Ethereum are taking the hardest hits, with volatility amplifying every move.
Despite the weakness, there’s still a glimmer of optimism across the market. Some investors believe Ethereum could mount an aggressive recovery, especially if broader conditions stabilize or if ETH finds strong support around current levels. However, that optimism is starting to fade in the face of poor price action and concerning on-chain data.
Top analyst Ali Martinez shared insights on X, revealing that whales have sold approximately 760,000 ETH over the past two weeks. This significant offloading by large holders adds to the ongoing bearish pressure and suggests that confidence among big players is declining. Whale movements are closely watched, as they often precede or confirm broader market trends.
Still, markets are dynamic, and this trend could shift quickly. If Ethereum can hold key support zones and macroeconomic conditions begin to calm, the same large players currently selling may reenter the market in anticipation of the next rally. For now, though, Ethereum remains in a fragile state, with continued selling and cautious sentiment likely to dominate the short-term outlook. Bulls must step in soon to shift the trend — or risk watching ETH slide further in the weeks ahead.
Bulls Struggle to Reclaim Key Levels
Ethereum is currently trading at $1,880 after several days of weak price action, caught in a tight range between $2,000 resistance and $1,750 support. Despite multiple attempts, bulls have failed to reclaim the critical $2,000–$2,200 zone — a level that would signal strength and potentially mark the beginning of a broader recovery phase. Instead, ETH remains trapped in a downtrend, with momentum continuing to favor the bears.
The inability to push higher is putting bulls in a vulnerable position. With Ethereum now hovering just below the $1,900 level, the coming days are crucial. If ETH fails to hold above this mark and cannot break back above $2,000 with conviction, a sharp drop is likely. Such a move could lead to a retest of the lower $1,700s or even deeper, especially if broader market sentiment remains negative.
As macroeconomic instability and market uncertainty persist, investors are growing cautious, and risk appetite continues to fade. For Ethereum to avoid a deeper selloff, bulls must step in quickly, reclaim lost ground, and reestablish confidence above the $2,000 level. Until then, the path of least resistance appears to remain to the downside.
