Ethereum price fluctuations are approaching a critical liquidation threshold. If it drops below $3100, long positions may be liquidated, totaling up to $427 million; if it breaks above $3300, short positions could be liquidated, reaching $885 million. Investors should pay attention to market liquidity changes and operate cautiously.

【Blockchain Rhythm】 According to the latest data from Coinglass, Ethereum price fluctuations are approaching several key liquidation thresholds.

If Ethereum drops below $3100, the cumulative long liquidation strength on major CEXs will rise to 427 million. This means that a large number of long contract positions will face the risk of forced liquidation.

Conversely, if Ethereum rises above $3300, the cumulative short liquidation strength on major CEXs will reach 885 million. Short sellers’ positions will also face significant pressure.

It is worth noting that the liquidation histogram does not show an exact number of contracts pending liquidation or precise liquidation values, but rather the importance of each liquidation cluster relative to nearby clusters—what is called “liquidation strength.” In other words, this chart reflects the market impact when the underlying asset price reaches a specific level.

The taller the bar, the more intense the market reaction caused by liquidity waves when the price hits that level. Near these two price points, investors should be especially cautious and monitor market liquidity changes.

Breaking through 3300 will cause a surge, dropping below 3100 will be disastrous, being stuck in the middle is the most uncomfortable.

Between 3100 and 3300, trapped in the middle, both bulls and bears are struggling.

The line between 3100 and 3300 is the life and death line of this wave of the market; both directions are hell mode.

3100 to 3300, everyone in the middle has to shake it off --- Shorts are waiting with 8.85 billion. Breaking through 3300 will be very exciting --- It's the same kind of liquidation intensity routine, always saying it will explode and then nothing happens --- Longs and shorts are both being harvested, this is the show the exchange loves to watch --- Feels like 3200 is the real watershed point --- Just scaring people, when it hits that level it will rebound again, too familiar with the routine --- I just want to know who will be the first to be liquidated into bankruptcy this time

The 3300 level has such strong bearish pressure, better be careful --- Another liquidation wave warning, contract traders should stay calm --- Both longs and shorts have large orders waiting, this market is indeed on the edge --- The numbers 4.27 and 8.85 look uneven, are the shorts more aggressive? --- Always talking about liquidation waves, but when it really happens, it's just like that, just panic emotions
