Ethereum Price Dips 20%

Ethereum price failed to remain stable above $2,550 and started a major decline, like Bitcoin. ETH price traded below $2,400 to enter a bearish zone.

The bears even pushed the price below $2,250. A low was formed at $2,220 and the price is now showing bearish signs below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,040 swing high to the $2,220 low. There is also a steep bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2,415 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

Ethereum price is now trading below $2,350 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls remain in action above $2,200, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,350 level. The first key resistance is near the $2,420 level and the trend line.

The next major resistance is near the $2,500 level. A clear move above the $2,500 resistance might send the price toward the $2,620 resistance or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,040 swing high to the $2,220 low. An upside break above the $2,620 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,800 resistance zone or even $2,880 in the near term.

More Losses In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,420 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,220 level. The first major support sits near the $2,200 zone.

A clear move below the $2,200 support might push the price toward the $2,120 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,050 region. The main support could be $2,000.

Broadcom Stock Forecast: Down Over 30% Since June, Can the Stock Rebound From Here?

On September 16, Broadcom (AVGO) hit a recent intraday low of $335.80, pulling back 32% from its all-time high of $494.20 and almost entirely erasing its year-to-date gains. Yet just a few months ago, Broadcom was hailed by the market as the most certain winner in AI computing power; now, it has become a poster child for unfulfilled expectations. The root of this shift traces back to its Q2 FY2026 financial report released on June 3. While AI semiconductor revenue reached $10.8 billion—up 143% year-over-year—and Q3 guidance projected over 200% year-over-year growth, management merely reiterated its target of "exceeding $100 billion in AI chip revenue by FY2027" as unchanged, declining to raise it. Market expectations, already priced at a P/E ratio of around 90x, lost the fuel to expand further, sending the stock price into a continuous decline. As the share price dropped, its valuation also underwent a reset. Could this now mark a turning point for the stock?

Oracle Tumbles 7% as Project Jupiter Data Center Force Majeure Notice Sparks Delay Concerns

On September 24, Oracle (ORCL) fell as much as 5% in pre-market trading and dropped over 7% after the market opened. Sparking market concerns was a force majeure notice issued by the company regarding Project Jupiter, a large-scale data center in New Mexico. Investors' focus is shifting from massive AI orders to delivery timelines and capital recovery. According to Bloomberg, Oracle has sent a formal notice to developer Stack Infrastructure, seeking to delay payments if the project fails to become operational as planned in 2028. This move does not imply exiting its position as the primary tenant, nor does it mean a payment waiver has been granted. Oracle maintained that the project is proceeding according to schedule, but did not specifically address the notice itself.
