Ethereum (ETH) has suffered a collapse of over 27% in the past 48 hours, briefly dropping to a two-year low of $1410 before regaining the $1500 level on Monday. According to Coinglass data, the decline triggered liquidations worth $257.87 million in the Ethereum derivatives market during this period.
On-chain data also shows that most investors are capitulating, leading to realized losses for Ethereum surpassing $500 million, according to Santiment. Most of the recent selling activity comes from coins purchased last month, highlighting the strong reaction of short-term holders to downward price movements.
Moreover, coins aged between one to two years are joining the selling but at a moderate pace.
