Ethereum Price Faces Bearish Pressure Amid Technical Weakness

Ethereum's price is facing significant pressure due to weakening technical indicators and rising Treasury yields. The cryptocurrency has broken below its ascending channel support, which could lead to a move towards $1,800 if it fails to hold at the current level of $2,080.

The breakdown occurred as Ethereum slipped below the 20-day exponential moving average, indicating that short-term bullish momentum has weakened considerably. Momentum indicators are also deteriorating, with the MACD histogram flipping negative and the MACD line crossing below the signal line, confirming growing bearish momentum on the daily timeframe.

Derivatives positioning adds another layer of risk, with over $1.70 billion worth of leveraged long positions sitting between $2,040 and $2,000. If Ethereum breaks decisively below that zone, forced liquidations could amplify downside volatility.
