Ethereum rose by 5.94% to $2,054 on February 14, with a market capitalization of $247.45 billion after a surge in the cryptocurrency market. Trading volumes surged to $30.6 billion, indicating a surge in short-term trading volumes in the cryptocurrency market.
The recent decline followed a wider crypto market pullback, with Ethereum breaking below short-term moving averages on weak buying volume. The $1,900 price is a critical support price for Ethereum, and if Bitcoin manages to sustain its price above $66,000, ETH could move between $1,900 and $2,000.
If there is a strong fall below the $1,900 price, it could trigger a fall in the price of Ethereum, and if Bitcoin continues to fall, it could trigger a fall in the price of ETH. However, the charts for Ethereum are oversold, and the RSI is currently at 29.68, and the volatility is currently at 18.39%.

According to CoinCodex, Ethereum could make a slow recovery by the end of February 2026. According to technical indicators, Ethereum could make a move to the $2,300 to $2,400 price range, with an average price of $2,314.
