Ethereum price outlook: Macro risks keep ETH below key resistance
Ethereum has once again failed to break above a key resistance zone. The market continues to face pressure from geopolitical tensions, expectations ahead of the upcoming U.S. inflation report, and declining liquidity across the cryptocurrency market.
The primary headwind for Ethereum remains weakening global risk sentiment. The conflict between the United States and Iran continues to escalate, with both sides exchanging strikes, prompting investors to reduce exposure to risk assets.
Another source of uncertainty is the upcoming release of the U.S. June CPI report on July 14. Higher-than-expected inflation could reinforce expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain a restrictive monetary policy for longer.
An additional negative factor is the ongoing decline in liquidity within the cryptocurrency market. Since May, the total market capitalization of stablecoins has fallen by more than $10 billion, marking the largest contraction since 2022.
Liquidity is particularly important for Ethereum and other altcoins, as stablecoins provide much of the capital used to buy market dips.
Ethereum's next move depends on $1,750 support
ETH has once again failed to break above the previously identified $1,800–1,850 resistance zone. Macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical risks continue to weigh on price action.
The market is now likely to retest the $1,700–1,750 support area. The 50-day simple moving average (SMA) is also located near $1,750, making this an important technical level. A decisive break below the indicator could accelerate the short-term decline.
On the other hand, if buyers successfully defend the $1,700–1,750 range, demand could return. However, for Ethereum to resume its recovery, the price must reclaim $1,850 on stronger trading volume, confirming renewed bullish momentum.
Macro risks outweigh Ethereum's strong fundamentals
Ethereum continues to deliver strong on-chain growth despite its sluggish price performance. Wallet activity on the network increased roughly 13-fold in the second quarter of 2026 compared with the same period a year earlier, while TVL in DeFi has risen by more than 60%.
However, these positive fundamentals are currently taking a back seat. Until the U.S. inflation data is released and geopolitical tensions begin to ease, investors are likely to remain cautious, keeping pressure on ETH despite the network's improving fundamentals.
