The lower price rejections, evident in the long wicks of the daily candles, suggest bullish support at lower levels and increase the possibility of a trend reversal.
Additionally, the support level at $2,395 has remained intact since early May, further increasing the chances of a reversal and supporting the upside potential. However, momentum indicators present a contradictory view.
The declining MACD and signal lines are approaching the zero line, signaling a surge in selling pressure. Meanwhile, the daily RSI remains flat at the midpoint level.
A potential reversal in Ethereum could test the 50% Fibonacci level at $2,699. However, a close below the 38.20% Fibonacci level could extend the decline toward the $2,000 psychological mark.
Institutions Still Acquiring Ethereum
Despite the recent fall in Ethereum, institutional support continues, with only a minor outflow of $2.18 million recorded on June 13 over the past five weeks. According to SoSoValue data, U.S. Ethereum spot ETFs recorded a total net inflow of $11.09 million on June 17. The trend continued on Wednesday with a $19 million inflow.
Overall, the monthly inflow for June so far amounts to $860 million, the highest in 2025. Therefore, with rising institutional support, demand could soon translate into a spot-priced rally in Ethereum.

Ethereum Derivatives
CoinGlass data shows a decline in bullish activity in the Ethereum derivatives market, with open interest down 2.29% to $34.73 billion. The increased liquidation of bullish traders over the past 24 hours appears to have triggered a capital withdrawal from Ethereum derivatives.
Data shows that $35.40 million worth of long positions were wiped out in 24 hours, compared to $27.44 million in short liquidations. This results in a long-to-short ratio of 0.9673, suggesting a marginally higher number of active short positions.
