Ethereum Pullback Sparks $1B Buying Frenzy Despite Hawkish Fed Warning on Inflation — What Changed?
Ethereum is struggling to hold the $2,250 level as selling pressure reasserts itself. And the market faces resistance that has capped every recovery attempt in recent sessions. The correction following the push above $2,450 has now reached roughly 10%, and the mood among participants is cautious. But according to top analyst Darkfost, the price weakness is producing a specific reaction in the order flow data that changes how the current selloff should be read. The moving averages reinforce this structure. ETH remains below the 200-day moving average, which continues to slope downward, signaling that the broader trend has not yet shifted bullish. At the same time, price is compressing between the 50-day and 100-day averages, reflecting a tightening range where momentum is fading and volatility is contracting.Related Reading
Volume behavior adds another layer. The spike during the February selloff marked a clear capitulation event, but subsequent recovery phases have shown declining volume, suggesting that the rebound lacks strong conviction. Recent sessions show relatively muted participation, consistent with consolidation rather than accumulation.
Technically, Ethereum is coiling. A breakdown below the $2,200–$2,250 support zone would expose the $2,000 level again, while a reclaim of $2,400 is required to invalidate the current lower-high structure and shift momentum meaningfully.
