Ethereum risks another 60% drop after breaking below $ 1K to 18-month lows

The price of Ethereum’s native token, Ether (ETH), careened below $ 1,000 on June 18 as the ongoing sell-off in the crypto market continued despite the weekend.

Ether reached $ 975, its lowest level since January 2021, losing 80% of its value from its record high in November 2021. The decline appeared amid concerns about the Federal Reserve’s 75 basis points rate hike, a move that pushed both cryptocurrencies and stocks into a strong bear market.
