While the long-term outlook remains bright, the short term is looking volatile for Ethereum. Recent price drops (currently down over 3%) have put traders on edge. The primary concern? Significant Liquidations.
In the world of decentralized finance (DeFi) and leveraged trading, many investors use their ETH as collateral. When the price hits certain "pain points," automated smart contracts trigger liquidations to cover debts. This can create a "domino effect"—price drops trigger liquidations, which dump more ETH on the market, causing further price drops. Traders are currently watching the charts closely, as a breach of key support levels could turn a minor dip into a major market flush.
