On March 2nd, it was reported that due to macroeconomic pressures, Ethereum’s price dropped approximately 1.5%, approaching $1,950, marking the seventh consecutive month of decline. On-chain data shows that over the past 90 days, wallets holding between 100,000 and 1 million ETH have been reducing their holdings, mostly outside of exchanges, indicating strategic position adjustments rather than short-term trading.
Market analysts note that Ethereum has broken through a key psychological level. Although there was a brief rebound, the price soon weakened again. Technical indicators show that the daily RSI is in oversold territory, funding rates have returned to normal, and open interest has decreased, reducing leverage risk in the market and suggesting that short-term selling pressure has eased.
Macroeconomic factors remain the main drivers, including inflation suppression measures that have dampened institutional investors’ interest in risk assets, making Ethereum one of the most impacted mainstream cryptocurrencies. Analysts state that the support level near the current price is a critical threshold. If ETH can hold this support and rebound to higher levels, the upward momentum could extend into previous resistance zones.
Market participants believe that this correction is primarily driven by macroeconomic conditions rather than deterioration in network fundamentals. Large whales’ continuous reduction of holdings has accelerated market volatility, but long-term holders still maintain positive positions, indicating overall market resilience. Investors are closely watching the price trend in the coming weeks, especially whether ETH will break below the $2,000 psychological level and whether a new buying opportunity will emerge.
