The post How Low Could Ethereum Go If $3,500 Support Breaks?<\/a> appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News<\/a><\/p>\n

The Ethereum price suffered a steep decline as panic gripped global markets, pulling ETH\/USD from near $4,300 to a low of $3,510 before partially rebounding toward $3,830. The move came amid one of the largest single-day selloffs of 2025, fueled by nearly $19 billion in crypto liquidations. <\/p>\n

This scared market participants and institutions worldwide, even the most sturdiest Blackrock ETH ETF<\/a> product \u201cETHA\u201d saw $80.2 million outflow alongside the outflows by other AUM\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Broader market sentiment turned sharply risk-off following renewed geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic uncertainty. The ETH price today mirrored the overall crypto downturn, with Bitcoin, Solana, and other large-cap tokens facing double-digit losses. <\/p>\n

Despite the steep drop, Ethereum managed to stabilize slightly above $3,800 as buyers stepped in at major technical support levels.<\/p>\n

Tariff Shock Triggers Sell-Off Across Markets<\/h2>\n

The catalyst behind the decline stemmed from political headlines rather than blockchain fundamentals. Late Friday, President Donald Trump announced via Truth Social that the U.S. would impose a 100% tariff on Chinese imports starting November 1. He also hinted the move could come sooner, depending on China\u2019s response.<\/p>\n

In addition, it was rumoured that Trump would not meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the upcoming APEC South Korea 2025 summit on Oct 29-31, but he denied this rumour personally, today in the media. A signal that trade tensions could have a chance to get better rather than intensify as Trump is already becoming more angrier. <\/p>\n

However, the spike in tariff rate majorly rattled both traditional and digital asset markets, triggering widespread selling pressure.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Global indices reacted swiftly: the S&P 500 fell 2.71%, the Dow Jones dropped nearly 1.90%, while gold often seen as a safe-haven surged 1.02% to $4,016 per ounce. As investors sought stability, ETH crypto and other risk assets experienced sharp outflows.<\/p>\n

Technical Picture Turns Bearish but Long-Term Outlook Holds<\/h2>\n

From a technical standpoint, the Ethereum price chart <\/a>shows a temporary breakdown in bullish momentum. A bearish crossover between the 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages (EMA) confirmed short-term selling pressure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the 200-day EMA, a critical long-term support indicator, continues to hold firm, preventing deeper losses for now.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

If the 200-day EMA and the $3,500 support zone remain intact, a recovery toward $3,900 or even $4,100 is possible in the short term. But a decisive break below this level could expose Ethereum to further downside, with potential targets near $3,100 or even $2,600 according to the ETH <\/a>price forecast.<\/p>\n

Still, long-term market observers remain cautiously optimistic. Despite short-term volatility, Ethereum\u2019s on-chain health, active developer ecosystem, and continued staking participation could support gradual recovery once macroeconomic pressures ease.<\/p>\n

Buyers Eye Recovery as Macro Factors Stabilize<\/h2>\n

As the market digests the impact of tariffs and potential rate adjustments, traders are watching how Ethereum price USD behaves near its long-term support. A stabilization above $3,500 could renew buying momentum, especially as institutional accumulation resumes across key exchange addresses.<\/p>\n

At this point, the Ethereum price sits at a crucial crossroads holding above its lifeline support could determine whether the current correction becomes a springboard for the next bullish wave or extends into a deeper pullback phase.<\/p>\n
