За 15 минут ETH упал на 0,55%: ожидания повышения ставки ЕЦБ усиливаются, а техническая картина носит медвежий характер

24 July 2026, 13:00-13:15 (UTC), over the next 15 minutes, ETH fell by 0.55%. The price range was 1,857.21–1,875.28 USDT, with a swing of 0.96%. Liquidity in the order book is extremely low: there is only 1 active data level, and the buy/sell depth ratio is 1.18. This suggests that current market sentiment is rather cautious, and short-term fluctuations are mainly driven by the liquidity structure.

The primary driver behind this move was signals about potential future interest rate hikes delivered during the ECB’s rate decision. The ECB kept rates unchanged but hinted at possible tightening of monetary policy. Against this backdrop, market appetite for risk assets decreased by a fraction. As the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, ETH is sensitive to changes in expectations for macro liquidity, and this signal puts short-term pressure on the price.

The second factor was an increase in the bearish bias according to technical analysis. On the 15-minute timeframe, the MA turned downward, while on the 1-hour chart the ADX reached 43.5, indicating a sustained downtrend. With such shallow order-book depth, even relatively small sell volumes can quickly push the price down. At the same time, over the past 24 hours ETH has overall declined by about 2%, which fits within the bounds of a technical correction. A comprehensive assessment of community sentiment came in at -0.25 (slightly negative): while there were no major panic discussions, the overall level of market confidence remains insufficient.

Now the key support level is $1,859.89. If it is broken, additional sell stop-loss orders may be triggered. Next, it will be important to monitor fund flows into the ETH ETF, their correlated dynamics with BTC, and changes in macro liquidity expectations. A recovery in order-book liquidity and signs of ADX cooling on the 1-hour timeframe will be key indicators for assessing the risks of short-term volatility.
