Ethereum’s price has fallen 27.7% in the past 30 days, now standing at $1,976.75. Analysts warn that if this downward trend continues, ETH could drop as low as $1,060. Let’s explore the key reasons behind Ethereum’s struggles.

Ethereum has tried to break past the $4,000 level three times in this cycle but failed each time. Each rejection has pushed the price lower, adding to bearish pressure.

To make matters worse, ETH has fallen below a key upward trendline that had supported its price since the last market cycle’s bottom.

Key Ethereum Levels to Watch

For Ethereum to regain strength, analysts say it must reclaim the $2,500 level soon. If the decline continues, the next major support sits at $1,060. Until ETH finds a solid bottom, downward momentum is likely to persist.
