Ethereum faced one of its sharpest market resets in months as investors locked in nearly $800 million in profits on Friday, signaling a dramatic unwinding of leverage across exchanges.
The shakeout followed two powerful long liquidation waves earlier in the week—$490 million on Tuesday and another $401.8 million on Thursday—that briefly dragged ETH below the $3,800 mark before buyers stepped in to stabilize the market.Leverage Unwinds Across ExchangesData from CryptoQuant revealed that open interest collapsed in tandem with the liquidations. Binance alone saw positions shrink by $3 billion on Tuesday, followed by an additional $1 billion the next day. Bybit and OKX experienced steep outflows as well, with losses of $1.2 billion and $580 million, respectively.
The drop underscores how heavily leveraged traders had been positioned before the sudden reset, with weeks of overheating washing out in just days.On-Chain Accumulation EmergesDespite the volatility, Ethereum’s on-chain activity paints a different picture. Lookonchain tracked 15 wallets accumulating 406,117 ETH valued at $1.6 billion, moved directly from large custodians. In addition, two dormant wallets from eight years ago suddenly became active, transferring 200,000 ETH (around $785 million) into new addresses.
These flows suggest selective accumulation is taking place even as speculative leverage fades.
Price Outlook and Key LevelsAs of now, ETH is trading close to $4,000 after rebounding from its 100-day simple moving average. Immediate resistance is found near $4,100, and a decisive breakout above that level could pave the way for a rally toward $4,500.
On the downside, strong support remains at $3,500, a level bulls must defend if another wave of selling emerges.Ethereum’s market structure is entering a pivotal phase. With profit-taking colliding against fresh accumulation, the coming sessions may determine whether ETH reclaims further bullish momentum or settles into a deeper consolidation.

$ETH ETHUSDT: Ether's Edge—Bounce-Back, or Bear Trap?
ETHUSDT trades at 3,968.99, clawing up after weeks of selling but still trapped below the falling EMA and thick resistance wall around 4,100–4,200. MACD is trying to curl, but volume remains tentative, and supply zones stack above. Only a clean breakout or new fade gets a seat at this table.
Entry: Go long above 4,120 on a strong green candle with massive buy volume, or short below 3,900 if a sharp red flush breaks the shelf. Targets:
Long: 4,350 (next supply zone and round number) Short: 3,720 (demand cluster, trend low) Stop Loss: For long: below 3,900 For short: above 4,120 If price just meanders in the middle, it's a pass—wait for power and confirmation. My View: $ETH small rally looks suspect unless bulls muscle through 4,120 with real momentum. Stuck in the chop? Capital is safest on the sidelines until trend clarity returns. For now, only breakouts get real attention. Disclaimer: For educational purposes, not financial advice. Confirm moves, set stops, and protect your stack at all times.

Is Now the Right Time to Buy Ethereum ($ETH)? Here's a Simple Look.
You might see $ETH bouncing back a little and think it's time to jump in. But let's look at the bigger picture. Think of it this way: the biggest players, the ones with the most money, have already started selling and leaving the market. When they leave, the price usually has a lot further to fall. Minor bounces on the way down are normal and can be a trap. Here’s what history tells us: In major market corrections, it's common for prices to drop 40-50% before they truly hit bottom. Right now, $ETH is down about 28.6% (to around $3,828). This means we could still have a way to go. The last time this happened, it took six months and a nearly 50% drop before $ETH found its footing and started its big climb past $4,900. The small price jumps we're seeing now are likely caused by "FOMO" (Fear Of Missing Out). But a real, lasting recovery only starts when the big institutional money flows back in. That isn't happening yet. Key Takeaway: Be careful. Chasing small gains in a down market is risky. Patience is your best friend—wait for a real sign of strength before making a big move. If you must buy, consider using only a small amount. #MarketPullback #TrumpNewTariffs
