Ethereum’s slipping toward that February bottom around $1,700 after the wider market meltdown dragged it under $1,900 π€
Some traders keep fixating on downside risks but this one voice highlights how institutional flows into Ethereum’s backbone matter way more than today’s softness π
Ethereum Approaching Key Support as Market Sentiment Weakens
Crypto trader Bren sees ETH on an impulsive sprint straight at the $1,700 mark after choppy corrective moves all through March and April πΈοΈ
In his June 3 X post he said those earlier bullish calls never lined up with the chart so another slide looked likely.
Two paths stand out for him a double bottom where the second-largest coin taps $1,700 then rebounds or a deeper break below it yet neither shifts his longer-term ETH stance π
He points to institutional stablecoin adoption mixed with real-world asset tokenization plus a world hooked on speculation and collecting as enough fuel to stay bullish through year-end π¦
Avichal Garg from Electric Capital echoes similar vibes stressing Ethereum’s credible neutrality that no other chain can copy and the real edge it gives nations like China India and Brazil hunting for neutral financial rails.
βYou talk to anybody on Wall Street,β he said, βeverybodyβs trying to build on ETH.β
Live proof sits right there with Lookonchain reporting Bitmine chaired by Fundstratβs Tom Lee just pulled in another 25,000 ETH worth about $48 million from BitGo even while prices dipped.
Supply Trends and Institutional Adoption Support the Longer-Term Case
ETH’s price shows a 9.5% slide over the past week with CoinGlass data flagging over $439 million in long liquidations wiped out in just 24 hours on June 3 π€
Still the bigger picture on-chain tells its own tale. Over 32% of total supply roughly 39.5 million ETH now sits locked in staking while exchange balances keep shrinking which naturally tightens trading liquidity π
Funding rates on Binance have also hit their highest since the start of 2026 signaling a surge in leveraged longs per Arab Chain’s read.
That setup can mean traders bracing for a bounce or a crowded trade ready to crack if the drop continues.
