$ETH just handed me the clearest bearish structure I've seen in weeks — and the $2,000 level is doing all the talking now.
It's sitting around $2,050, down nearly 4% in a day and almost 10% on the week, and the damage goes deeper than the price. ETH closed below its 200-day moving average on Sunday for the first time since August, then lost the $2,100 support that was supposed to catch it. The pressure is stacking up from three sides: hot October CPI (0.4% vs 0.3% expected) has the market repricing Fed hikes, spot ETH ETFs just logged a $184.6M outflow — their biggest in over a month and the third straight session of red — and Ethereum's own Glamsterdam upgrade is stalled after auditors flagged contracts that could break under the proposed gas changes.
What I'm watching: $2,000 is the line. Lose it on a daily close and the next real floors are $1,971, then $1,827. On the upside, $2,101 is the first resistance to beat, and $2,200 is where the 20-day EMA cluster sits — reclaiming that with volume would be the first sign the sellers are losing control.
My view: I lean bearish while ETH stays under $2,100, but I'm not chasing shorts into $2,000 — that's where buyers have defended before, and a wick below with a fast reclaim would be a trap for late sellers. If ETH closes a day back above $2,200, my bearish read is wrong and I'd flip to watching for a squeeze toward $2,350.
Where do you see ETH heading — does $2,000 hold this week?
