Ethereum's price has fallen about 14.5% from $2,375 on May 11 to nearly $2,031 by May 23, nearing a critical support level of $2,000. This decline occurred despite aggressive buying activity in both spot and futures markets, indicating that strong sell orders and market supply are absorbing demand. Trading volume in the spot market also dropped significantly, while futures market participation rose but open interest remained flat. Long traders continue to add positions, but the price weakness persists, suggesting ongoing market pressure against Ethereum's price recovery.
