⚠️ Immediate drop and volatility

• Ethereum dropped even more by about 8–9%, from around $2,800 to about $2,450.
⸻
📉 Liquidity and leverage-related risks
• Market liquidity witnessed a liquidation of more than $1 billion within 24 hours, especially in long positions, where the liquidation amount exceeded $1.15 billion.
• Some sources indicate operations such as “forced liquidation” due to investors fleeing from riskier assets.
