Ethereum is experiencing downward pressure as it hovers near the $1,800 mark, following a break below the $2,000 support level. Analysts highlight that the cryptocurrency faces short-term risks due to high leverage and persistent ETF outflows. CryptoQuant's PelinayPA notes that Ethereum's estimated leverage is at 0.74, with positive funding rates since April, suggesting crowded long positions despite weakening prices. The RSI is near oversold levels at 31, yet lacks a clear reversal signal. U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs have seen net outflows for 13 consecutive days, totaling $695 million, with a peak single-day outflow of $121 million, indicating a decline in institutional interest. The $1,800 support zone is crucial for gauging market sentiment, as Ethereum remains in a vulnerable position amid these pressures.
