Ethereum's price fell 36% in 2026, approaching $1963, primarily due to a 55% drop in decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume to $56.5 billion and reduced transaction fee revenue. Despite this, Ethereum still dominates with 57% of the $52.4 billion Total Value Locked (TVL) in DeFi (decentralized finance) and controls 68% of the tokenized real-world asset market. Key resistance is around $2100, with the next major support level at $1800.
