Latest Ethereum price and analysis (ETH to USD)
Ethereum remains trapped in a tight range during a period of extremely low volatility. Short term support continues to prop price just below the $2,000 mark, while $2,050 has become a bitter point of resistance on the lower time frames.
Higher time frames paint a more dreary macro picture for Ethereum, with the weekly 21 exponential moving average becoming a stubborn point of resitance to the upside at $2,175.
It’s worth noting that anticipation around Ethereum’s upcoming London fork is gathering momentum. An event like this will typically see the price of the underlying asset rally into the event, before selling off rapidly afterwards.
This could prompt Ethereum to break its bearish structure and mount a charge to the upside, with extended targets up at $2,400 and $2,630.

However, it’s almost impossible to ignore the glaring similarities of this year’s price action with the bubble pop and subsequent bear market in 2018, particularly as Ethereum is now trading 54% lower than just two months ago when it achieved an all-time high of $4,400.
In 2018, Ethereum succumbed to intense sell pressure with an eventual draw down of more than 94%. A plunge of that magnitude this time around will take Ethereum to around the $250 mark, which incidentally was a firm level of resistance throughout 2019 and 2020.
In order for Ethereum, as well as the wider cryptocurrency market, to regain a bullish posture, it needs Bitcoin to prove its naysayers wrong with a convincing rally above the $50,000 level on convincing volume, which will likely only happen if a major South American country adopts Bitcoin as legal tender.

About Ethereum
ETH was launched by Vitalik Buterin on July 30 2015. He was a researcher and programmer working on Bitcoin Magazine and he initially wrote a whitepaper in 2013 describing Ethereum.
Buterin had proposed that Bitcoin needed a scripting language. He decided to develop a new platform with a more general scripting language when he couldn’t get buy in to his proposal.

Why Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Ethereum Keep Dropping
What happened
It’s Tuesday, and for the second day in a row, cryptocurrencies are going down. In 10:30 a.m. EDT trading today:
Bitcoin CRYPTO:BTC)
Ethereum CRYPTO:ETH)
and Dogecoin CRYPTO:DOGE)
So what
Why is that? As we saw last week, and as we saw yesterday, the answer appears to be government regulation and action – not just in the U.S. but around the world.
In the United Kingdom, authorities just announced a “significant” operation to seize what they called laundered “proceeds of crime” in the form of cryptocurrency, according to CNN. In what the news organization is referring to as Britain’s largest-ever seizure of cryptocurrency – and one of the biggest seizures anywhere, ever – London’s Metropolitan Police confiscated $249 million worth of crypto (without divulging which kinds, specifically) allegedly linked to international money-laundering operations.
And although no one can fault authorities for investigating and confiscating any ill-gotten gains, the fact that police forces around the world are working to trace these funds suggests that crypto’s untraceability and anonymity – two big reasons why cryptocurrency got popular in the first place – are now no longer assured.
Nor is the U.K. the only source of headaches for crypto traders. In South Korea, Reuters reports that a law passed in March will require cryptocurrency exchanges to “partner with banks” and obtain a “security certificate” from the government if they want to keep doing business. The more regulations government piles onto crypto, the less attractive it might be to users – and the more expensive it will become.
Now what
Indeed, it seems traders' enthusiasm for cryptocurrency may already be waning. According to data from the largest crypto exchanges, trading volumes for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, and other forms of cryptocurrency “fell more than 40% in June,” as CNBC reported yesterday.
“Half the market is gone,” a crypto research analyst told CNBC. And with buyers now in scarce supply, there’s less bidding to drive prices higher – or even support them where they’re at. Result: Cryptocurrency is now heading into the third month of a “two-month correction period,” according to CNBC. Since early May, for example, the value of Bitcoin has fallen 44%.
