Ethereum has fallen toward $2,100, extending a short-term correction into a broader test of market conviction. Data from CryptoSlate shows ETH dropped nearly 10% over the past week, erasing all gains made in May.
The pullback shifts trader focus back to the critical $2,000 support zone. The losing streak pits external pressures — including oil market headwinds — against bullish narratives around artificial intelligence and real-world asset tokenization that had previously buoyed sentiment.
ETH has lost roughly 10% of its value in seven days, according to CryptoSlate. The asset now sits near a psychologically important threshold that could determine whether the correction deepens or finds a floor.
For holders, the next few sessions are pivotal. A break below $2,000 could accelerate selling, while a bounce might reignite interest in tokens tied to AI and tokenization projects. Broader macroeconomic factors, particularly oil price movements, add to uncertainty.
Critics argue that $2,000 may not hold if macro headwinds persist, warning that ETH's correlation with risk assets leaves it vulnerable to further downside.
