1. Technical Overview
Ethereum (ETH) reclaimed the psychologically critical $2,000 level on Monday, closing at $2,003.05 — a 3.41% gain on the session after touching an intraday high of $2,008.09. This is the first daily close above $2,000 since early February 2026, ending a brutal seven-week drawdown that took ETH from its $4,955.90 peak (52-week high, September 2025) down to a low of approximately $1,820 in early March — a peak-to-trough decline of approximately 63%.
