A huge crypto selloff has shaken the market again, pushing Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, down to a two-month low, trading below $3,900. This has sparked concern among traders and investors alike, as Veteran crypto analyst Ted Pillows says ETH could drop even further, possibly reaching around $3,500 before it starts to recover.
Ethereum Leads the Liquidation
The latest selloff has been brutal. Nearly $1 billion in crypto liquidations have hit the market this week, with Ethereum taking the hardest blow. According to Coinglass data, Ethereum saw around $312 million wiped out, and most of it from long positions.
Adding to the pressure, reports reveal that BlackRock sold $25.6 million worth of ETH, sparking fears of further institutional exits. Even the Options market data also reflects bearish sentiment, with increased demand for put options indicating expectations of further downside.
According to Ted Pillows, Ethereum’s recent price action mirrors Bitcoin’s 2020 cycle, where a 25%–30% drop followed a breakout above $20,000. He suggests that ETH could decline another 10%–15%.
Ethereum Price Levels to Watch
Currently, Ethereum is approaching a key support zone around $3,800, which will be crucial in determining its short-term direction.
- If the $3,800 level holds, Ethereum could find stability and prepare for a fresh rally.
- If it fails, the price might slide further toward the $3,500 region before finding stronger ground.
Pillows’ chart highlights this battle zone clearly, showing how Ethereum’s next leg depends on whether bulls can defend the key support area.
ETH Long-Term Goal Eyeing $6998
Despite the recent turbulence, Ethereum’s fundamentals are still strong. Big institutions are still interested, and the network continues to grow, showing long-term strength.
Crypto analyst The House Of Crypto notes a Descending Broadening Wedge forming on Ethereum’s weekly chart, which could push ETH up to around $6,998 if it breaks out.
For now, however, traders are keeping a close watch on the $3,800 support level.
