Ethereum traded near a critical support zone on June 24 as ETF outflows, weak momentum, and a break below the 200-day simple moving average kept pressure on the asset. The token stood at about $1,670, below $1,700 and near a level that has shaped its wider recovery since 2022.
Ethereum has repeatedly bounced from the $1,500 to $1,650 area since the 2022 bear-market bottom. The zone protected every major low during the past several years. It also notes that Ethereum reached about $1,618 on the weekly chart. Earlier rebounds from this area came in 2023, late 2023, and 2025.
According to analyst Ardi, weekly closes below $1,500 would mark a clear structural breakdown. He said that holding above that level would keep the broader support pattern intact.
A separate chart view compares Ethereum with the Russell 2000. Both assets formed rounded bases after major declines, then recovered toward long-standing resistance. The Russell 2000 has already moved above its horizontal resistance near 2,500. That breakout strengthened its broader bullish structure.
Ethereum has not matched that move. It still trades below a resistance band ranging from $4,300 to $5,100 and remains within a short-term descending channel. James Easton said the Russell 2000 pattern could offer a roadmap for Ethereum.
If ETH breaks above the falling channel, traders would first watch the previous all-time-high region. A confirmed move above roughly $5,100 could place Ethereum in price discovery.
The data also points to a speculative long-term path toward five-figure levels, including prices above $10,000. Even so, the outcome remains unconfirmed.

Ethereum’s weakness also comes from continued ETF outflows. On June 23, Ethereum ETFs recorded $82 million in net outflows, their fourth straight day of withdrawals. Market caution has grown amid uncertainty tied to Iran and the outlook for U.S. interest rates. ETH also fell below its 200-day simple moving average, which signals short-term weakness.
Analysts say some bulls want to see ETH break above $1,800 before momentum returns. Others point to the broader support near $1,500 as the key line to defend.
The asset traded at an all-time high of $4,953.73 on August 24 of last year. For now, the market continues to watch whether Ethereum can reclaim nearby resistance around $1,900 to $2,000.
Ethereum remains under pressure as ETF outflows persist and the price trades below key resistance levels. At the same time, the $1,500 support zone continues to hold, preserving the broader recovery structure. Traders now focus on whether ETH can defend support and regain momentum above $1,800 while keeping longer-term targets in view.
