The token has since pulled back to around $4,550, down 4.5% over the past 24 hours, though still up 8% on the week. Since early August, ETH has climbed 26% and remains more than 220% above its yearly low.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the reversal came during a wave of <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/300m-in-longs-liquidated-in-1-hour-bitcoin-crashes-ethereum-rejected-at-5k\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">liquidations<\/a> across the market. More than $720 million in positions were wiped out in the last day, with nearly $500 million tied to Bitcoin and Ethereum longs.
