This is a level reached only twice earlier this year.
The data shows heavy positioning on the sell side as ETH hovers near an ATH around $5,000.
Similar lows in January and February coincided with declines below $1,500. The 7-day average was at 0.93 at press time, marking the year’s lowest point.
This could mean a potential risk of a correction, but extreme bearish consensus can also cause short squeezes if buying pressure returns.

He added that the pattens show at least a 25%+ correction after reaching previous ATHs. A similar move this time could bring prices down to around $3,700-$3,800 before resuming an upward trend.

Meanwhile, the stablecoin supply on Ethereum has surged to a new ATH of roughly $173 billion, up $50 billion since the start of the year.
This massive inflow of stablecoins indicates significant buying power in wait, potentially fueling a strong rally that could drive ETH toward $10,000 by early 2026.
ETH faces key support and resistance levels
Following all this, Ethereum’s price action is entering a critical phase.
The chart showed ETH consolidating around $4,470-$4,500, with short-term support near $4,460 and immediate resistance around $4,495.
RSI showed neutral momentum, while the MACD showed a slightly bearish bias but no strong trend yet.

In the short term, a break above $4,495 could trigger a rebound toward $4,550, while falling below $4,460 may open the path to $4,400.
