Ethereum’s latest recovery has reversed sharply, returning the price to approximately $2.4K and keeping a bearish breakdown as the main scenario. Escalating Iran–US tensions add a potential risk-off headwind, though their impact on ETH remains speculative rather than a confirmed cause of the decline.Ethereum Price Analysis: The Daily ChartOn the daily timeframe, Ethereum’s rebound toward $2.48K–$2.52K failed to generate sustained follow-through. The latest bearish candle has pushed the price back inside the $2.36K–$2.44K demand zone and beneath the ascending channel’s lower boundary. This rejection suggests that buyers have yet to regain control despite repeatedly defending nearby support.The main scenario favors a breakdown if ETH establishes a daily close beneath $2.36K, followed by a loss of the recent wick lows around $2.32K. Such a move would confirm deterioration beyond a temporary trendline breach and could extend the correction toward the $2.2K–$2.27K region.However, demand has not yet decisively failed. A sustained reclaim of $2.44K and the channel boundary would weaken the immediate bearish outlook. Buyers would then need to clear $2.48K–$2.52K to interrupt the sequence of lower highs and support a broader recovery.ETH/USDT 4-Hour ChartThe 4-hour chart shows an upside breakout from the falling wedge, followed by a sharp rejection near $2.52K. Ethereum has surrendered most of that advance and returned to the demand zone, indicating that the breakout failed to establish a durable bullish shift.The price is now approaching the former descending resistance around $2.39K–$2.4K. While this could act as retest support, the speed of the reversal leaves the recovery vulnerable. Losing this area would bring the $2.35K–$2.36K demand boundary into focus, followed by the recent lows around $2.32K–$2.34K.A sustained break beneath those lows would favor bearish continuation toward $2.27K and potentially $2.2K. Conversely, holding the retest and recovering above $2.44K would keep the breakout-retest interpretation alive. A subsequent move through $2.52K would be necessary to provide stronger evidence that buyers have overcome the latest selling pressure.Sentiment AnalysisThe one-month Binance ETH/USDT liquidation heatmap highlights a persistent estimated liquidation cluster around $2.15K–$2.2K. Its bright, extended band indicates a substantial concentration of potential liquidation exposure below the current price, making it particularly relevant to the bearish breakdown scenario.If Ethereum loses the $2.36K demand zone and the recent lows, this cluster could become a downside liquidity target. Long liquidations triggered during an extended decline may amplify selling pressure as price approaches the region, potentially accelerating a move toward $2.2K.The cluster’s proximity to the deeper technical support area reinforces its significance, but it does not guarantee that ETH will reach it or rebound there. For now, the failed recovery and renewed pressure on demand keep this downside pool relevant, while a sustained reclaim of $2.44K–$2.52K would reduce its immediate importance.The post Ethereum Price Prediction: Is $2K Next After ETH’s Latest $2.5K Rejection? appeared first on CryptoPotato.
