Ethereum at $1.5K: A tense stand-off forms, with ETH shorts under pressure
One look at the technicals is enough to show how bearish the market has turned. Nothing reflects this better than Ethereum. According to CoinGlass data, ETH closed Q2 down 25.28%, extending Q1’s 29.26% drop. That puts the altcoin down nearly 50% in the first half of 2026, leaving holders who bought the top deep underwater.
