Ethereum Drops Below $2,100 After 1.33% Decline
Ethereum (ETH) has fallen below the critical psychological support level of $2,100, extending its weekly losses amid a broader market cooldown. According to data from leading cryptocurrency exchange OKX, ETH is currently trading at $2,099.88 per coin, marking a 1.33% decline over the past 24 hours.
The breach of this key level comes as Bitcoin struggles to maintain momentum near the $71,000 zone, triggering sell-offs across major altcoins. Technical analysts suggest that failure to reclaim $2,100 in the coming hours could open the door for further downside toward $2,050 and $2,000.
Happy Saturday!

We did have a nice flush in crypto last night.
ETH losing $2100 support is a big level to watch. We are still in a wide range.
Could chop more before next big move.
Whale Activity Detected Before Drop
On-chain data tracker Lookonchain reported significant whale activity prior to the price decline. Wallets associated with major market maker Cumberland withdrew approximately 23,000 ETH (valued at over $50 million) from Binance and Coinbase in the hours leading up to the drop. Such large movements are often closely watched by traders as potential indicators of market sentiment shifts.
In the past 2 hours, Cumberland withdrew 23,000 $ETH($50.1M) from @Binance and @coinbase.

Market Outlook
As the weekend approaches, trading volumes are expected to thin out, which could lead to increased volatility. Market participants are now watching whether ETH can recover the $2,100 level in the next 24 hours or if the bearish momentum will persist. A sustained move below this threshold could accelerate selling pressure toward the next support zones.
The broader crypto market capitalization has contracted by approximately 2% over the past 24 hours, with most major altcoins trading in negative territory. Ethereum’s decline comes despite recent positive developments in network activity and layer-2 adoption, highlighting the current dominance of macro-driven market sentiment.
