Ethereum is opening Q2 2026 trading above $2.1k, still well below the levels needed to suggest any meaningful trend reversal. After a brutal first quarter that saw ETH lose around a third of its value from the late-2025 highs, the question heading into the new quarter is whether the asset can finally find a base, or whether the selling pressure has more room to run.<\/p>\n

Ethereum Price Analysis: The Daily Chart<\/h2>\n

The descending channel on the daily chart remains fully intact heading into April. ETH continues to print lower highs beneath a declining 100-day MA (~$2.4k) and 200-day MA (~$3k). The $2.4k resistance band has now rejected the asset decisively after the February low. This reinforces the area as the key supply zone to clear before any bullish case can be made.<\/p>\n

The support level at $1.8k remains the critical floor. It held during the February capitulation and has been tested again since without breaking down on a closing basis. Below that, $1.5k is the next meaningful level.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the RSI is hovering around the mid-50s, which reflects some stabilization, but that alone is not enough to shift the broader trend. Therefore, a sustained daily close above $2.4k is still the minimum threshold buyers need to target to change the price action regime.<\/p>\n

ETH\/USDT 4-Hour Chart<\/h2>\n

On the shorter timeframe, ETH has been trading inside a falling wedge pattern since the mid-March rejection at $2.4k. The price is currently north of $2.1k after breaking above the upper boundary of the pattern over the past few days. With the RSI now pushing into the low-70s, which is the highest reading since the March peak, the market is likely to climb higher in the short term.<\/p>\n

That RSI level is worth watching closely. The momentum suggests a potential retest of the $2.3k\u2013$2.4k resistance zone is likely \u2013 a significant daily level that sits directly above and has already rejected ETH once recently. A clean break above this level would be a constructive mid-term signal. However, failure to keep the bullish momentum can cause the market to drop toward the $1.8k key support zone once more.<\/p>\n

On-Chain Analysis<\/h2>\n

Ethereum\u2019s exchange reserve has fallen to approximately 14.9M ETH. This is the lowest level recorded over the past year, and the metric is continuing a decline that accelerated sharply through late 2025 and into 2026. The drawdown from the mid-2025 peak near 21M ETH has been steep and consistent. It reflects a sustained trend of holders withdrawing ETH from exchanges into self-custody.<\/p>\n

As with Bitcoin, declining exchange reserves reduce the immediately available sell-side supply, which is structurally constructive over the medium term. However, the same caveat applies: reserves have been falling in parallel with price, not ahead of a recovery.<\/p>\n

The supply-side picture is improving, but without a meaningful pickup in demand, which should be visible through price reclaiming key levels and the aggregate on-chain activity trending higher, the reserve data is better read as a foundation being quietly built rather than a catalyst in itself.<\/p>\n
