Ethereum is currently testing the $1,600 support level, with analysts from 10x Research warning that a failure to hold this level could see the cryptocurrency fall to $1,200, a level not seen since the FTX collapse. Ethereum's price has dropped below its 7-day and 30-day moving averages, with a weekly decline of 7.4%. The recent 20% staff reduction at the Ethereum Foundation has contributed to the price drop, alongside concerns over funding following the expiration of a key developer incentive program. Additionally, ongoing net outflows from spot Ethereum ETFs and weak institutional demand are limiting upward momentum. On-chain data indicates asset accumulation is at a multi-year low, and an increase in transaction failure rates is cooling network demand. The market remains influenced by macroeconomic factors, including the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance, a strengthening dollar, and stock market volatility.
