In a move reflecting the vulnerability of leveraged digital assets to sharp volatility, the ProShares Ultra Ether ETF (ETHT) recorded a violent decline of 22.69% during the June 5, 2026 trading session. This collapse followed Ethereum (ETH) spot prices cracking through the critical psychological and technical support level of $1,600, reaching $1,596.42. According to reports, this price action resulted in a $10,000 investment shrinking to just $7,731 in a single day.

Sign InThis decline comes as major cryptocurrencies face similar selling pressures, with altcoins suffering technical breakdowns after losing key support levels. Compared to peer instruments, leveraged funds amplify losses significantly when support levels fail, as evidenced by ETHT's performance relative to spot Ethereum. Per market data, breaking the $1,600 threshold represents a bearish shift in the short-term trend for the world's second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.
Investors should watch whether Ethereum can reclaim the $1,600 level to prevent further deterioration toward lower support zones. Looking ahead, traders are monitoring the Fed Waller speech (May 31, 2026) and the ISM Manufacturing PMI release on June 1, 2026, as these macro catalysts could heavily influence risk appetite across financial markets, including the crypto sector.
