Ethereum is currently experiencing a notable downturn, having fallen by \$130.92, or 2.94%, to a trading price of \$4326.09. This marks a significant drop, as it represents the lowest 5 p.m. level seen since August 21, 2025, when it traded at \$4239.59. The 2.94% decrease is the largest single-day percentage drop since August 28, 2025, when the cryptocurrency's value fell by 2.99%.
This decline is part of a larger trend, as Ethereum has been down for two consecutive days, with a cumulative loss of 5.83% during this period. On a weekly basis, the performance is even more pronounced, with a 10.71% decrease, making it the worst weekly performance since the week ending April 11, 2025, when it saw a 13.47% fall.
Despite the recent setbacks, Ethereum's performance over longer periods remains strong. It is up 15.81% month-to-date and has gained 29.34% year-to-date. Compared to its value 52 weeks ago on August 30, 2024, when it was trading at \$2517.73, the cryptocurrency has gained a remarkable 71.83%. Additionally, it is up a staggering 207.67% from its 52-week intraday low of \$1387.85 on April 9, 2025.
Ethereum's recent volatility is highlighted by its intraday trading. Today, it traded as low as \$4269.95, representing a 4.20% drop from its opening price. The current price of \$4326.09 is 12.70% below its all-time intraday high of \$4955.23, which was achieved on August 24, 2025. This recent downturn indicates a period of market correction, even as the overall long-term trends remain positive for the digital asset.

Despite a significant milestone with its new battle royale game, Pudgy Party, reaching over 50,000 downloads on the Google Play store and securing a spot in the top 10 on Apple's App Store, the Pudgy Penguins' native token, PENGU, experienced a notable decline on Friday, slipping by nearly 4%. This downturn is not an isolated event for the project, as the PENGU token has fallen by over 20% in the last 30 days, according to CoinMarketCap. The price retracement for Pudgy Penguins is a reflection of a broader, more challenging period for the NFT market. This sector-wide slump has also impacted other major blue-chip NFT collections. For instance, Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Doodles both registered double-digit losses throughout August, indicating widespread investor apprehension.

The NFT market's struggles are directly linked to the performance of the Ethereum network, which hosts the majority of NFT trading activity. Following Ether’s recent retreat from its all-time high of approximately $4,957, the NFT market cap has taken a significant hit, plummeting from $9.3 billion at the beginning of August to a mere $7.4 billion at the time of writing. This strong correlation with ETH prices underscores the dependency of the NFT market on the underlying blockchain's health. While most projects suffered, the CryptoPunks collection demonstrated a surprising resilience, rising by nearly 3% during August. Meanwhile, BAYC recorded losses exceeding 11% and Pudgy Penguins experienced a decline of over 20% in US dollar terms. Despite these price fluctuations, Pudgy Penguins continues to cement its status as a cultural phenomenon, leveraging its physical merchandise to appeal to a mass audience beyond traditional crypto users.

Today's cryptocurrency headlines reveal a mix of strategic shifts and compelling statistics, beginning with the Ethereum Foundation's decision to temporarily pause open grant applications. Faced with an overwhelming influx of submissions, the organization is pivoting its Ecosystem Support Program to a more proactive and strategic funding model. This change comes after a period of significant giving, with the foundation distributing nearly $3 million across 105 projects in 2024 and an impressive $32.6 million in the first quarter of 2025 alone. The new approach, with more details expected in the fourth quarter, aims to better align funding with the ecosystem’s core needs.

Meanwhile, the Avalanche blockchain has emerged as a leader in network activity, experiencing a remarkable 66% jump in weekly transactions, reaching 11.9 million. This surge in user engagement is fueled by major catalysts, including the US government's adoption of its technology and renewed ETF filings tied to its native AVAX token, solidifying investor confidence.

A separate and eye-opening report from the US Treasury’s FinCEN has shed light on traditional finance, revealing that American banks were responsible for moving an astounding $312 billion for Chinese money launderers between 2020 and 2024. This staggering figure, which facilitates a symbiotic relationship with Mexico-based drug cartels, dwarfs the entire cryptocurrency space’s illicit transaction volume, which totaled a lesser but still significant $189 billion over the same five-year period.

Rounded Bottom Setups:
Ethereum has printed several rounded bottom patterns (blue & green curves), pointing to consistent accumulation phases that historically led to upward rallies.

Resistance & Bullish Weakness:
The price topped near $4,960 (red arrow) but couldn’t hold above it. This failure to extend higher creates a lower high, hinting that buyer momentum may be fading.

Critical Support Zone:
The $4,000–$4,200 range (green arrows) has acted as a solid support base with repeated rebounds. This level remains a key area to watch for Ethereum’s next directional move.

U.S. stock futures are moving lower after indexes soared Friday as investors look ahead to earnings from Nvidia and others later this week; Intel (INTC) shares are moving higher after the U.S. government took a 10% stake in the chipmaker; Keurig Dr. Pepper (KDP) is buying the Dutch parent of Peet's Coffee for $18 billion before planning to separate; shares of furniture firms RH (RH), Wayfair (W) and Williams-Sonoma (WSM) are falling after President Donald Trump announces possible tariffs on furniture imports; and cryptocurrency stocks are falling as ether (ETHUSD) and bitcoin (BTCUSD) lose ground. Here's what investors need to know today.
1. US Stock Futures Slip as Investors Look Ahead to Nvidia Earnings
U.S. stock futures are pointing lower after indexes soared Friday as investors look ahead to earnings reports from Nvidia and others later this week. Nasdaq futures are 0.3% lower after the tech-focused index gained nearly 2% Friday as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated that interest rates could be cut. S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are down by 0.2%, with the Dow coming off its first record close of the year. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note is ticking higher. Oil futures are up. Gold futures are down.
2. Intel Stock Rises After US Government Takes 10% Stake in Chipmaker
Intel (INTC) shares are advancing about 2% in premarket trading, although paring earlier gains, after the U.S. government took a 10% stake in the struggling chipmaker. The passive ownership stake, which is worth approximately $11.1 billion, is being funded by a combination of paid and not yet paid CHIPS Act awards, Intel said. "This is a great Deal for America and, also, a great Deal for INTEL," Trump posted on his Truth Social network Friday. Intel shares gained 5% on Friday amid a broader market rally amid anticipation of a deal after Bloomberg reported an announcement would be coming soon.

Keurig Dr. Pepper (KDP) on Monday said it has struck a deal to buy JDE Peet's for 15.7 billion euros ($18.4 billion) in cash, then plans to separate its coffee and beverage businesses. Keurig Dr Pepper said once its takeover of the Dutch parent of Peet's Coffee closes, likely in the first half of 2026, it plans to separate into two U.S.-listed firms—one housing the coffee business and the other with its beverage brands, including its namesake brand, Snapple, and 7UP. Shares of Keurig Dr. Pepper are lower by more than 3% in premarket trading, while JDE Peet stock is up 17% in Amsterdam trading.

Shares of RH (RH), Wayfair (W), and Williams-Sonoma (WSM)—which rely heavily on furniture imports—are down roughly 8%, 7%, and 3.5%, respectively. Meanwhile, Ethan Allen Interiors (ETD) and Michigan-based La-Z-Boy (LZB), which have a larger U.S. manufacturing presence, are up 4% each. "This will bring the Furniture Business back to North Carolina, South Carolina, Michigan, and States all across the Union," Trump wrote.
