However, this year seems to be an exception.<\/p>\n<p>Macroeconomic factors, including new tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump, are contributing to the instability.\u00a0They have raised fears of a tighter global economic climate while also putting traditional markets under pressure. This has, in turn, impacted risk assets like crypto, pushing ETH into a sub-$2,400 level.<\/p>\n<p>A recent security breach on the Bybit exchange that resulted in the theft of $1.4 billion in crypto (mostly ETH) also contributed to market instability. In the immediate aftermath of the hack, ETH lost 7% of its value. Since then, the exchange has restored its reserves by securing 446,870 ETH through whale deposits, loans, and direct purchases.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s CEO, Ben Zhou, confirmed that it has fully\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereum-bounces-back-as-bybit-closes-gap-on-hack-losses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">recovered losses<\/a> and is preparing an audited proof-of-reserves report to reassure users. However, this has done little to invigorate ETH, with the cryptocurrency struggling to break above $2,800, indicating persistent bearish pressure.<\/p>\n<h2>ETH Down 14% in 24 Hours<\/h2>\n<p>Earlier today, ETH dumped to $2,310 before recovering some ground to almost $2,400. Furthermore, the asset has failed to maintain key support levels in the last seven days, sparking concern about further declines.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at its monthly performance, ETH started February at $3,217 but has since lost more than $800 in value. Over the week, it fell 7.3%, amplifying bearish sentiment. Its 24-hour movement has not been much better, shaving off more than 14% of its daily high of $2,733 to its current price, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/ethereum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">data<\/a> from CoinGecko.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts have <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/will-weak-momentum-drive-eth-to-2-5k-ethereum-price-analysis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">warned<\/a> that with the altcoin failing to hold $2,400, its next major support lies at $2,250, potentially opening the door for further losses.<\/p>\n<p>Ethereum\u2019s woes aren\u2019t isolated.
