PPI came in below expectations, yet ETH still broke below 2,000—Binance’s price page now shows around $1,930, down about 4% in 24 hours, nearly 14% in 7 days, and 20% in a month.

Where’s the good news we were promised? October PPI rose 6.5%, just a little below the 6.6% expected, but the hottest posts on the forum are all asking what could fuel the next rebound. The market voted with its feet: ETH briefly touched around $1,893 over the day. The $2,000 psychological level gave way in a flash. Next up below is $1,800; before there’s much to discuss on the upside, ETH needs to reclaim $2,000.

The dip buyers say: It’s down 20%, and the Fear Index is only at 19—might as well buy the dip. The other side is pouring cold water on that: BTC just slipped below $70,000 this morning, and ETH can’t even hold $2,000. Below $2,000, it’s all thin air. Those who bought the dip halfway down are probably staring blankly at their screens right now.

I’m leaning bearish: $2,000 is broken, and that’s that. Losing a round-number level isn’t a technical issue; it’s a confidence issue. When we really hit bottom, the forum should be silent—not filled with people asking what could fuel a rebound.

What would make me admit I’m wrong? If ETH closes a daily candle back above $2,000 and holds there, I’ll call this a false breakdown. But if it falls below $1,800, forget the rebound talk—we’re looking straight at $1,500.

Which side are you on: with ETH at $1,930, do you think it’ll reclaim $2,000 soon, or is $1,800 the next stop?
