Ethereum dropped below $2,000 following US airstrikes on Iran, causing a $1 billion forced liquidation in crypto markets and a sharp price decline. Market sentiment turned bearish with a 63% chance ETH could fall to $1,500, while ETFs saw $500 million in outflows over 11 sessions. Technical analysts say ETH must reclaim key moving averages at $2,500 and $3,100 to regain bullish momentum. Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem value also shrank 55% from its peak, signaling broader market weakness.
