Ethereum Price Prediction: ETH Clings To $1,900 Support After $129M ETF Exodus

Ethereum price today trades near $1,977, up slightly in the past hour after testing the $1,900 support level following a 10% drop over the past week. The move comes as Ethereum spot ETFs recorded $129 million in outflows on February 11, marking one of the largest single-day exits since launch.

According to SoSoValue data, Ethereum spot ETFs saw $129.18 million in net outflows yesterday, with Fidelity’s FETH leading the selling at $67.99 million. Total net assets now stand at $11.27 billion, representing 4.78% of Ethereum’s market capitalization.

Cumulative net inflows remain positive at $11.75 billion, but the recent spike in redemptions signals that institutional holders are reducing exposure rather than accumulating at lower prices. When both spot and ETF flows move negative simultaneously, price typically follows, which explains the breakdown below $2,000.

The outflows contrast with earlier optimism surrounding institutional adoption. BlackRock’s ETHA and Grayscale’s ETH products posted smaller outflows, but the overall trend shows distribution across multiple issuers. Without a reversal in ETF flows, price remains vulnerable to further downside.

On the daily chart, Ethereum has broken below every major moving average. The 20-day EMA sits at $2,388, the 50-day at $3,182, and the 100-day at $3,003. Bollinger Bands show the middle band at $1,595, with price now testing that level after a steep decline from December highs above $4,000.

The chart shows:

Ethereum lost the 20-day EMA in late January and has failed every attempt to reclaim it. The structure has shifted from consolidation to breakdown, placing the market in a corrective phase. A daily close above $2,388 would flip the 20-day EMA and signal the first sign of trend exhaustion, but current momentum points lower.

The $1,900 level represents critical psychological support. A breakdown below this zone would expose the next demand area near $1,750, where buyers previously stepped in during prior corrections.

The 1-hour chart reveals Ethereum trapped inside a symmetrical triangle pattern, with price compressing near the apex at $1,976. Parabolic SAR sits at $1,986, acting as immediate resistance. RSI holds at 54.36, neutral but showing signs of recovery after touching oversold levels.

The structure shows:

Buyers are attempting to defend the lower triangle boundary after the sharp drop from $2,150. A breakout above $2,000 with volume would invalidate the bearish setup and place $2,150 back in range. A breakdown below $1,900 would confirm continuation of the downtrend and expose $1,750.

The triangle pattern typically resolves with a move equal to the height of the pattern. Given the compression between $1,900 and $2,100, a clean break in either direction could trigger significant volatility.

Ethereum has two major upgrades scheduled for 2026. The Glamsterdam upgrade is planned for the first half of the year, introducing Proposer-Builder Separation and Block-Level Access Lists designed to improve MEV fairness and censorship resistance. The Hegota update will follow later in 2026, implementing Verkle Trees to enhance state access and scalability.

Developers are currently testing on blob-devnet-0 to enable the mainnet to store more blobs, though Prysm and Lighthouse clients face integration issues. The bals-devnet-2 testnet launches February 4, with the epbs-devnet-0 network scheduled for late February.

These upgrades represent significant technical improvements, but the market has not yet priced in their impact. The current price action reflects near-term selling pressure rather than anticipation of upcoming network enhancements. If ETF flows stabilize and technical levels hold, the upgrade narrative could provide support as 2026 progresses.

The next move depends on whether Ethereum can hold $1,900 and reclaim the triangle resistance at $2,000.
