On a monthly basis, losses have reached almost 38%, placing ETH in what many technical traders describe as oversold territory.

Key Levels to Watch

From a technical perspective, Ethereum is trading close to the lower Bollinger Band, positioned near $1,634. This area may act as short-term support. If selling pressure continues, attention shifts toward the full 100% Fibonacci retracement level around $1,748.

On the upside, the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement near $2,157 represents an important resistance zone. A move above this level would indicate improving momentum. Traders will also monitor whether RSI and MFI begin to rise from current lows, as this could suggest easing downside pressure.
