Ethereum has broken below the $1,825 support level, putting the next major downside zones near $1,600 and $1,400 back into focus as the broader crypto market continues to bleed.
The move flips the setup that traders were watching earlier this week. ETH had been sitting near the lower edge of a descending channel, where a hold above $1,825 could have opened a rebound toward $2,070 and $2,360. That setup has now weakened after Ali Martinez flagged the break below support, leaving bears with more room to press the market lower.
Source: @alicharts via X Live market data placed Ethereum near the mid-$1,700s after the breakdown, with the token already down sharply over the past week. The first short-term defense now sits around the $1,750 to $1,730 area. If that zone fails cleanly, the chart opens toward $1,600 first, then $1,400 if panic selling accelerates.
The $1,825 level mattered because it was the same zone highlighted in the earlier ETH channel-floor setup. At the time, the structure was still conditional. Bulls needed to defend the lower boundary and force a reclaim of $2,073 before any stronger move toward $2,360 could be taken seriously.
That has not happened. Ethereum has instead lost the floor, and the market is now treating bounces as tests of resistance rather than early recovery signals.
The technical damage also lands at a bad time for liquidity. Bitcoin is struggling near major support after a sharp flash crash toward $61,000, while broader crypto market cap has already erased more than $2 trillion from its October 2025 peak. ETH is now trading inside that same risk-off environment, where failed support levels can move faster than normal because leverage, ETF flows and spot liquidity are all working against buyers.
Ethereum is not only facing a chart breakdown. Spot ETH ETFs are also showing persistent redemptions.
The Farside Ethereum ETF flow table shows U.S. spot ETH funds posted another $53 million in net outflows on June 3, after $90.2 million on June 2 and $44.5 million on June 1. That follows a run of negative sessions stretching back through late May, with ETH products joining the wider ETF pressure already visible in Bitcoin.
The Bitcoin side has been even heavier. U.S. spot BTC ETFs just suffered a record 13-day outflow streak, with roughly $4.33 billion leaving funds between May 15 and June 3. That matters for Ethereum because Bitcoin still leads liquidity direction across the market. When BTC ETF demand breaks down, ETH usually has to fight both its own weak flows and the drag from the largest asset in crypto.
CryptoAdventure also tracked the earlier Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF redemption wave, when ETHA carried most of Ethereum’s fund-level pressure on a heavy outflow day. The same pattern is now feeding into price action again: ETF sellers remove passive demand, derivatives traders reduce risk, and spot buyers wait for lower levels instead of chasing rebounds.
There is one counterweight. Santiment data shows wallets holding at least 100,000 ETH now control 17.41 million ETH, equal to just over 22% of the supply and the highest level in nine weeks. Large wallets are accumulating into weakness, which suggests some long-term buyers still see value below $2,000.
Bitmine is another part of that accumulation story. The company said its holdings reached 5,416,901 ETH as of May 31, representing about 4.49% of Ethereum’s circulating supply. That kind of treasury demand can reduce liquid supply over time, but it has not been enough to stop the current selloff.
Ethereum’s DeFi side is also showing signs of repair after recent stress. Aave recently restored WETH collateral limits across six major networks after the rsETH recovery phase, helping normalize borrowing conditions around wrapped Ether. That improves protocol plumbing, but it does not change the immediate price problem.
ETH has lost $1,825, ETFs are still bleeding, and Bitcoin is pulling the wider market lower. A fast reclaim of $1,825 would reduce downside pressure and turn the breakdown into a failed move. Without that reclaim, the market’s next tests are $1,750, then $1,600, with $1,400 becoming the deeper capitulation zone if ETF outflows and weak spot demand continue.
