$ETH Ethereum is facing a critical technical test after a sharp decline pushed ETH below the $2,600 level.

ETH is currently trading around the $2,560 area, with sellers controlling the short-term structure. The decline has also occurred alongside weakness across the broader crypto market and a significant increase in leveraged liquidations.

Technical Structure

ETH has lost the important $2,700 area and is now testing the $2,500–$2,560 support zone. The 50-day moving average is also positioned around $2,565, making this an important area for buyers to defend.

If this zone holds and ETH manages to reclaim $2,680–$2,700, the market could begin stabilizing and potentially target the $2,800 resistance area again.

However, a decisive daily close below $2,500 would weaken the structure considerably. In that scenario, the next major downside area could be around $2,190–$2,200.

ETF flows are another factor traders should watch. U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs recorded approximately $201.9 million in net outflows on October 6, extending the outflow streak to six consecutive sessions. This indicates that institutional demand has weakened in the short term.

Key Levels

Support: $2,560 → $2,500 → $2,200

Resistance: $2,680 → $2,800 → $3,000

My current view:

Short term: Bearish until ETH reclaims $2,680–$2,700.

Medium term: Neutral to cautiously bullish if the $2,500–$2,560 zone continues to hold.

The most important signal now is not the size of the current candle, but whether ETH can defend $2,500 and establish a higher low.

A daily close below $2,500 could open the door to further downside. A recovery above $2,700 would significantly improve the short-term structure.

This is a market-analysis view, not financial advice.
