Amid a broader retreat in risk appetite across financial markets, Ethereum's price is facing renewed downward pressure after struggling to reclaim the critical $1,800 resistance level. The cryptocurrency was significantly impacted by a hawkish pivot from the US Federal Reserve, leading to a rejection at key technical levels. According to reports, this failure to break higher has increased the probability of a further 18% decline in price.
This weakness in Ethereum's performance coincides with similar pressure on major digital assets, as market data shows Bitcoin (BTC) also struggling to maintain its position above critical support zones. Compared to the previous quarter, digital assets are showing heightened sensitivity to US interest rate expectations, especially after recent inflation data indicated persistent price pressures, reinforcing the Fed's hawkish stance (per Bloomberg reports).
