ETH is now attempting to recover from $2,075 but faces many hurdles near $2,220.
Ethereum price failed to remain stable above $2,250 and extended losses, like Bitcoin. ETH price traded below $2,200 to enter a bearish zone.
The bears even pushed the price below $2,120. A low was formed at $2,073 and the price is now attempting to recover. There was a move above $2,120, but the price stayed well below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,040 swing high to the $2,073 low.
Ethereum price is now trading below $2,200 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a major bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2,255 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
If the bulls remain in action above $2,100, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,200 level. The first key resistance is near the $2,250 level and the trend line. The next major resistance is near the $2,390 level.
A clear move above the $2,390 resistance might send the price toward the $2,550 resistance or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,040 swing high to the $2,073 low. An upside break above the $2,550 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,650 resistance zone or even $2,665 in the near term.
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,250 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,100 level. The first major support sits near the $2,075 zone.
A clear move below the $2,075 support might push the price toward the $2,050 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,000 region. The main support could be $1,880.

Punchbowl News’ The Vault team, which tracks financial policy in Washington, circulated details of the invitation in an X post on Monday. He described the imminent meeting as part of a broader effort for banks, regulators, lawmakers and key stakeholders to deliberate on ongoing regulatory proposals.
On Sunday, Semafor congressional reporter Eleanor Mueller mentioned that the provision for the United States government to launch a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is no longer in the draft, while responding to the new NDAA package deal published by Politico defense reporter Connor O’Brien.
The absence of the CBDC ban adds further relevance to Thursday’s session, with senators expected to press bank leaders on how traditional financial institutions intend to navigate a regulatory landscape that remains unsettled.
The US enacted landmark GENIUS act in July 2025, creating a framework for stablecoin regulations in the country. However, lawmakers continue to debate how banks should handle digital-asset custody, the supervision of stablecoin reserves and the role the Federal Reserve should play in tokenized-market infrastructure.

The imbalance between volume spike and mild increase in open interest indicates that most activity came from intraday rotations rather than conviction-driven positioning, suggesting traders prefer to await clarity from Washington as the week unfolds before placing larger directional bets.
