Ethereum (ETH) faced late, updated downside pressures with trading below the $2,500 level as sales volumes surged and wider risk sentiment weakened. World trade tensions and updated US tariff risks create risk-off flows, and digital assets are increasingly reflecting traditional markets in response to geopolitical uncertainty.
On-chain data revealed a significant influx into centralized exchanges (particularly 385,000 ETH is Binance). ETH has since recovered modestly to trade around $2,506, but market observers have been closely watching whether buyers can defend this level or if another foot is imminent.
