Ethereum price breaks six-year trend with sharp February decline

Ethereum price has crashed, making it one of the worst-performing blue-chip cryptocurrencies in February. Ethereum ( ETH ) dropped to a low of $2,075, its lowest level since January 2024 and about 50% below its highest level in November 2023. The ongoing decline has broken the second-largest cryptocurrency’s six-year track record. This marks the first February decline for Ethereum since 2018 and its worst February performance on record.

Bitcoin ( BTC ) has fallen by 25% from its highest level this year, while Ripple ( XRP ) is down around 40% in the same period. Ethereum has dropped partly due to ongoing outflows in the exchange-traded fund. All spot Ethereum ETFs have seen asset losses for six consecutive days, bringing cumulative assets in these funds to $2.86 billion. Similarly, spot Bitcoin ETFs have shed over $4 billion worth of assets.

The most notable competitors include layer-1 networks like Solana ( SOL ) and BNB Smart Chain, as well as layer-2 networks such as Base and Arbitrum. The broader crypto market fear has also contributed to Ethereum’s downturn, with the Fear & Greed Index dropping to 33. Ethereum price loses key support as it forms a death cross ETH price chart | Source: crypto.news ETH price has continued crashing, as predicted in our earlier analysis, where we cited the bearish flag chart pattern. A flag pattern consists of a long vertical move followed by consolidation. This consolidation formed a rising wedge pattern, a well-known bearish continuation signal. Worse, Ethereum has just formed a death cross, which occurs when the 200-day moving average crosses below the 50-day moving average. This is considered one of the most bearish technical patterns in the market. Ethereum has also lost the key support level at $2,150, which previously marked the lowest swing in August and September 2023. This price served as the neckline of the triple-top pattern at $4,000. Additionally, the Average Directional Index has risen to 40, indicating that downward momentum is strengthening. Given that the distance between the triple-top pattern and the neckline at $2,150 is 47%, applying the same measure downward suggests that Ethereum’s price could crash to $1,095.
