With a 10% drop over the past week, Ethereum price is currently testing crucial support levels followed by a heavy ETH whale selloff taking place. Although ETH has bounced back from the support of $1,800, analysts are weighing the possibility of how low it can fall further from here. Some analysts believe that the largest altcoin is currently facing a make-or-break scenario.
Ethereum Price – A Do or Die for Investors?
With a 44% drop since the beginning of 2025, Ethereum price has been under a strong bearish grip so far. The monthly chart reveals ETH has been trading within a well-defined channel since 2018, with clear “Top Level” and “Bottom Level” boundaries.
The price is currently testing what analysts have labeled the “Make or Break Level” – a mid-channel resistance zone that has historically determined significant price movements. As we can see from the above image, ETH is trading in a critical support range.
If the ETH price bounces from here, the road to $20,000 and above is open for the altcoin. However, if it fails to hold this support, it can also crash under $1,000 levels, all the way to $610. For the first time in history, Ethereum has ended all three months of Q1, in negative territory. Market analysts believe that Q2 would be better. Our Ethereum price prediction shows that ETH would continue to flirt around $1,880 levels over the next month.

ETH Whale Selloff Intensifies
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez reported a significant decline in Ethereum whale activity, with large transactions dropping 63.8% since February 25. Over the past two weeks, whales have sold 760,000 ETH, signaling reduced institutional or large-holder participation in the network.
Despite this, some market analysts believe that ETH will soon start outperforming Bitcoin. Popular analyst Michael van de Poppe stated that altcoins will soon start gaining momentum as Gold shows signs of topping out. “If Gold starts to correct in this month, likely ETH starts to outperform Bitcoin,” noted Poppe.
Ethereum ETF Flows Disappoint
Inflows into spot Ethereum ETFs have also dried up amid poor Ethereum price performance. The net inflows since its inception have slipped under $2.5 billion, showing waning institutional interest in the asset class. This is down from the peak of $3.042 billion on February 25.
Experts attribute Ethereum’s struggles to its lack of leadership and innovation in the Web3 space. The upcoming Pectra upgrade, aimed at enhancing wallet functionality and network efficiency, is tentatively set for April 30, 2025, according to core developers.
