As of June 22, 2026, Ethereum (ETH) remains in a deep bear market. Its price has plummeted approximately 63% from the mid-2025 all-time high of $5,000, and has declined about 32% since the beginning of the year, significantly underperforming Bitcoin's -11%. The ETH/BTC ratio has fallen to 0.027, the lowest since early 2023.



Currently, ETH is struggling to defend the $1,700 level, facing strong resistance at $1,850. If it loses the $1,700 support, it could drop to $1,620 or even $1,500.

Multiple bearish factors are weighing down the market: Coinbase premium index has turned negative, indicating accelerated selling by US investors; spot ETF net outflows have continued for 17 days; the Ethereum Foundation has revealed a $30 million funding shortfall, risking the loss of core developers; the Glamsterdam upgrade, delayed from June, has been postponed to Q3.

Potential catalysts include the Q3 Glamsterdam upgrade, which could significantly improve network performance; if the US CLARITY Act passes, it could benefit institutional participation.

Two charts to watch:

1. ETH/USDT daily candlestick chart (TradingView), to observe support at $1,700 and moving average alignment
2. ETH/BTC exchange rate chart, to monitor whether funds are flowing back into Ethereum
