The second-largest digital asset traded around $3,959, down nearly 9% in the past 24 hours and over 12% for the week, according to market data.

Bitcoin also remained under pressure, hovering near $116,000 after sliding over 4% in the past day. XRP, meanwhile, was among the hardest-hit large-cap coins, dropping below $2.70 after a weekly loss exceeding 12%.

Technical Indicators Signal Caution

Ethereum’s latest technical readings indicate growing bearish momentum. The daily chart shows the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovering around 51, suggesting fading buying strength. Meanwhile, the MACD indicator has turned negative again, hinting that downward momentum could persist in the short term.

Market Context and Outlook

The recent correction comes amid heightened volatility across both crypto and traditional markets. Investors are weighing the impact of U.S. President Donald Trump’s renewed tariff threats toward China, which triggered broad risk-off sentiment in global equities and digital assets alike.

Ethereum’s latest price action follows a brief attempt to stabilize above $4,200 earlier this week, but the coin failed to hold that level as sellers regained control. Traders are now eyeing the $3,800 region as a key support zone, with a potential recovery only likely if ETH can reclaim the $4,100–$4,200 range.

For Bitcoin, the $115,000–$117,000 corridor remains crucial as it attempts to avoid further downside pressure. XRP, struggling below $2.70, risks deeper losses if sentiment fails to improve.

As markets digest recent macro headlines, analysts expect volatility to remain elevated through the weekend, with Ethereum’s technical setup suggesting the potential for another test of lower support before any sustained rebound.
