Ethereum entered a high-tension phase as derivatives data shows over $1 billion in liquidations clustered on both sides of price, increasing the probability of a sharp move in the near term.
Crypto markets began the week positioned for higher volatility ahead of key macro catalysts, including U.S. unemployment data and a Supreme Court ruling tied to Trump-era tariffs. A brief bullish push across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and major altcoins failed to hold, and selling pressure pushed prices back into established ranges. Ethereum has since tightened further, reflecting growing indecision.
The ETH liquidation map indicates roughly $1.64 billion in short liquidations above current levels and about $1.05 billion in long liquidations below. A move of around 10% in either direction could trigger cascading forced exits and abrupt volatility as liquidations compound.
ETH is trading inside a symmetrical triangle, defined by lower highs from the $3,300–$3,350 zone and higher lows rising from the $2,850–$2,900 support area. Direction depends on confirmation: a break above $3,300–$3,350 acts as the upside trigger, while a loss of $2,900 defines the key downside risk level.
