According to on-chain data monitoring, Ethereum is currently caught between two critical defense lines. Looking upward, if ETH stabilizes and breaks through the $3,444 resistance, short positions on mainstream exchanges will face a concentrated liquidation wave, with the total liquidation scale potentially reaching $1.4 billion. Conversely, the defensive position below is also fragile—if the price falls below the $3,126 support level, a nightmare for longs will unfold, with the liquidation pressure on long positions on mainstream platforms instantly reaching $951 million. This means that whether breaking upward or downward, a liquidation storm will be triggered. In the short term, Ethereum investors need to closely monitor the actual performance of these two critical points.

This market trend is really a powder keg, and no one feels comfortable being caught in the middle.

ngl this is just classic liquidity grab setup... paper hands getting liquidated either way lmao. been here before, same pattern different chart. the real move's probably already priced in by smart money.

ETH under pressure, the liquidation scale is so intense—1.4 billion in shorts liquidated? Which side should we bet on?

1.4 billion shorts liquidated vs 951 million longs liquidated, this is the current deadlock for Ethereum. Being caught in the middle, no one feels comfortable.

ngl, $1.4B liquidation cascade waiting to happen either way? that's giving major honeypot energy. seen this pattern 47 times already—exchange wallets loading up before the move. DYOR before touching this volatility trap, fr fr.
