Ethereum price continues to come under pressure as the second biggest cryptocurrency finds it hard to bounce back after the steep fall that started following the major resistance test.

At the time of writing, ETH is trading at $1,609.69, down 3.08% over the last 24 hours. Daily trading volume stands at $17.38 billion, while Ethereum’s market capitalization is $194.38 billion. The recent decline highlights the challenges facing the Ethereum price as broader crypto market conditions remain uncertain.

Ethereum Price Tracks Expected Bearish Path

Crypto Pulse, a crypto analyst, noted on June 24, 2026, that Ethereum has performed exactly as projected when referring to an earlier market projection on May 2.

Based on the analysis from Crypto Pulse, the best possible time to go short on ETH would have been when the coin was approaching a critical level of resistance. This prediction made by the Crypto Pulse has seen ETH decline by around 34% since then.

According to Crypto Pulse, there were still chances available during bear markets. But then again, everything hinges on how well you are able to plan your moves and handle the situation.

Ethereum Price Eyes Potential Rebound

According to technical indicators, the price of Ethereum continues to be under selling pressure despite some initial stabilizing signals.

Based on Bollinger Bands, we see that ETH is trading close to the bottom band at $1,566. The middle band stands at $1,686, and the top band is at $1,807. It can be seen from the position of Ethereum under the middle band that sellers are still dominant.

In order to ensure that the recovery is stronger, it will be necessary for buyers to move Ethereum above $1,686 and maintain the position.

Another closely watched indicator, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), suggests that downward momentum may be slowing.

However, the MACD stands at -69.48 and the signal line at -79.09. In addition, the positive histogram of about 9.60 suggests that the selling pressure is waning.

Ethereum Recovery Could Lift Crypto Markets

Ethereum is still one of the most prominent blockchain networks within the digital asset industry. Ethereum’s ecosystem has been built to support DeFi, stablecoins, NFTs, and thousands of blockchain-based applications.

Therefore, changes in the price of Ethereum tend to affect the entire market of altcoins. Failure to recover could have an impact on those who depend on the Ethereum network, while recovering may help to boost confidence in the cryptocurrency industry.

What Comes Next for Ethereum Price?

It will be interesting to see how market players react to the possibility of Ethereum retaking the $1,686 resistance level. If this happens successfully, this may boost market sentiments in the short term.

If the price of Ethereum does not return to that level, there may still be risks of further losses, which could result in another challenge of support zones at a lower level. Right now, investors hope for better signals about the sustainability of the momentum reversal.
