Ethereum (ETH) has plunged sharply in the past 24 hours, falling more than 10% and slipping below the crucial $3,000 mark for the first time in months.<\/p>\n

The drop mirrors the wider sell-off hammering global risk assets, from unprofitable tech stocks to high-flying AI companies, where investors are increasingly uneasy about aggressive spending and stretched valuations.<\/p>\n

According to market data, Ethereum tumbled as much as 5.5% earlier in the session, driven primarily by a wave of fear-driven liquidation flows. ETH currently trades around $2,701, marking a steep weekly decline of over 15% and placing the asset more than 45% below its August all-time high.<\/p>\n

Leverage Wipeout: $150M in Liquidations Accelerate the Fall<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What separates Ethereum\u2019s slide from the rest of the market is the sheer amount of leverage being unwound. Nearly $150 million in long liquidations were recorded within 24 hours, a massive spike that forced bullish positions to close automatically as prices dropped.<\/p>\n

Thinning market depth, increased volatility, and aggressive price swings. Analysts note that leveraged perpetual futures, widely used for both hedging and speculation, are a double-edged sword. When sentiment flips, liquidations compound downward pressure, pushing prices even lower.<\/p>\n

Technically, Ethereum<\/a> is now trading inside a descending wedge, with the lower boundary near $2,930 repeatedly tested. While this structure often precedes bullish breakouts, the window for sideways consolidation is narrowing fast. Key resistance levels at $3,000 and $3,200 must be reclaimed before buyers gain momentum.<\/p>\n

Whale Behavior and On-Chain Metrics Signal More Weakness<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adding to the worries, Ethereum whales have slowed accumulation. Large addresses holding between 1 million and 10 million ETH, previously net buyers, have paused their purchases, suggesting fading confidence in a near-term recovery.<\/p>\n

On-chain metrics reinforce the bearish undertone. The MVRV Long\/Short Difference<\/a> has dropped to a four-month low, indicating that long-term holders are losing profitability. If they begin offloading to protect remaining gains, Ethereum\u2019s decline could deepen further.<\/p>\n

For now, ETH faces critical downside levels at $2,650 and $2,606. A rebound back above $3,000 would be the first sign of strength, but without renewed whale support and an easing of liquidation pressures, the market may remain fragile.<\/p>\n

As liquidity resets and volatility spikes, traders are watching closely, because this move may only be the beginning.<\/p>\n
