Ethereum Price Nosedives
Ethereum price struggled to settle above the $2,400 resistance zone. ETH also started a major decline like Bitcoin and broke the $2,200 support zone.
There was a sharp decline and the price even spiked below the $2,000 support zone. A new yearly low was formed near $1,860 and the price is now recovering losses. There was a decent increase above the $2,000 and $2,080 resistance levels.
The price climbed above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,430 swing high to the $1,860 low. However, Ethereum is still below $2,300 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average .
On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $2,290 level. The first major resistance is now near $2,300. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $2,300 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The trend line is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,430 swing high to the $1,860 low.
A close above the $2,300 resistance could send the price toward $2,400. The next key resistance is near $2,440. If there is a clear move above $2,400, there could be a drift toward $2,500. The next resistance sits at $2,500, above which Ethereum might rally and test the $2,620 zone.
Fresh Decline in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,300 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,200 level.
The first key support could be the $2,080 zone. A downside break and a close below $2,080 might start another steady decline. In the stated case, Ether could test the $2,000 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,860 level.

A wave of $100 billion in mechanical selling pressure triggered a "head start" on Wall Street, but these early moves by smart money instead accelerated the sell-off: the Nasdaq fell 6.4% in a single day, semiconductors plunged 12%, and the “best of the year” AI and energy barbell trades collapsed within 48 hours. Even more dangerously, lagging selling pressure is still on its way.

BTIG Chief Technical Strategist Krinsky warns that yesterday's sharp decline in the US stock market is not the bottom, but just the beginning.

If "defensive sectors" such as healthcare and consumer staples start to fall as well, the real "generals and soldiers falling together" will occur, and the S&P may head straight for 7000 points.
