ETH is thirty-eight dollars away from territory it hasn't traded in since the current cycle began. That's the number that matters today.
The selling pressure isn't coming from one source. Geopolitical tension around Iran, rising Treasury yields, and a liquidation cascade that wiped out six hundred and fifty-seven million dollars across the market all hit at once.
The divergence from Bitcoin is worth holding onto. US spot ETH ETF flows turned negative alongside BTC over this period, but Bitcoin has something Ethereum doesn't.
Away from price, the Foundation is managing a significant leadership transition. Carl Beek, who spent seven years on core Ethereum research including Beacon Chain work, announced his departure effective May twenty-ninth.
The two real signals to track from here are the weekly close and any confirmation of stability from the new Protocol Cluster leads. A Sunday close above two thousand one hundred keeps the current range intact.
