Ethereum Price Warning: $1,600-$1,800 Could Be the Smart Entry Zone

Ethereum drops below $2,500 as analysts eye $1,600–$1,800 zone, while ETF outflows and BitMine losses deepen pressure.

Ethereum continued its decline on Tuesday, trading below $2,500 amid broader crypto market weakness.

Analysts now warn that deeper downside remains possible, with several pointing to lower price zones.

The sell-off has increased unrealized losses for large holders, including Tom Lee’s BitMine, while on-chain data shows rising exchange inflows.

Analysts warn Ethereum could test lower price zones

Several analysts have outlined downside targets as Ethereum extends its pullback.

Analyst Jake Wujastyk said Ethereum could trade between $1,800 and $1,850 if selling pressure accelerates.

His comments followed Bitcoin’s recent decline, which triggered large liquidations across the market.

Another market analyst, G. Martin, said Ethereum’s higher timeframe structure still appears stronger than Bitcoin’s.

However, he noted that current price action and technical signals continue to point toward a sustained downtrend. He added that Ethereum often follows Bitcoin’s broader market direction.

Martin also identified potential support zones if the decline continues. He said the $2,000 to $2,200 range could attract buyers.

He added that the $1,600 to $1,800 zone could become a key area if market stress deepens.

Whale activity and exchange flows increase pressure

On-chain data shows increased whale activity during the recent decline. Reports indicated that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin moved ETH worth about $44 million.

The transfer occurred while prices remained under pressure across major exchanges.

Other large holders also moved funds to exchanges. On-chain analytics firm Lookonchain reported that Garrett Jin deposited over 3,000 ETH into Binance.

The transfer followed the liquidation of his large ETH long position earlier in the day.

Another analyst, Ali, reported that more than 60,000 ETH moved to exchanges within 72 hours.

These transfers coincided with sharp price drops. The data suggests that selling pressure has remained steady rather than isolated.

BitMine losses and ETF outflows add to weakness

Tom Lee’s BitMine has seen its unrealized loss grow to about $6 billion following Ethereum’s decline.

BitMine began accumulating ETH when prices were near $2,540 in early 2025. Ethereum has since fallen below those levels.

This week, BitMine acquired more than 40,000 ETH, increasing its exposure. Reports show the firm holds around 3.5% of Ethereum’s circulating supply.

The recent price drop has reduced the value of these holdings.

ETF data also shows continued outflows. According to SoSoValue, spot Ethereum ETFs recorded a weekly net outflow of $327 million.

These withdrawals added to downward pressure during the sell-off.

Exchange netflow data provides further context. Ethereum began declining from $3,100 as outflows increased in late January.

Sharp withdrawals aligned with price drops toward $2,400, reinforcing short-term weakness.

The post Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell talks to reporters following the regular Federal Open Market Committee meetings at the Fed on July 30, 2025 in Washington, DC. Chip Somodevilla | Getty Images The Federal Reserve is projecting only one rate cut in 2026, fewer than expected, according to its median projection. The central bank’s so-called dot plot, which shows 19 individual members’ expectations anonymously, indicated a median estimate of 3.4% for the federal funds rate at the end of 2026. That compares to a median estimate of 3.6% for the end of this year following two expected cuts on top of Wednesday’s reduction. A single quarter-point reduction next year is significantly more conservative than current market pricing. Traders are currently pricing in at two to three more rate cuts next year, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch tool, updated shortly after the decision. The gauge uses prices on 30-day fed funds futures contracts to determine market-implied odds for rate moves.

Three officials penciled in three rate reductions next year. “Next year’s dot plot is a mosaic of different perspectives and is an accurate reflection of a confusing economic outlook, muddied by labor supply shifts, data measurement concerns, and government policy upheaval and uncertainty,” said Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management. The central bank has two policy meetings left for the year, one in October and one in December. Economic projections from the Fed saw slightly faster economic growth in 2026 than was projected in June, while the outlook for inflation was updated modestly higher for next year.
