Ethereum has entered a sharp losing streak, with cascading liquidations and technical weakness fueling volatility across the market. A wave of $1.8 billion in long liquidations on September 23 wiped out more than 370,000 traders, leaving Ethereum (ETH) particularly exposed. This market update is powered by Outset PR, the first data-driven crypto PR agency that equips blockchain projects with precise, effective strategies to boost visibility.  $1.8B Liquidations Trigger ETH Sell-Off The crypto market’s heavy reliance on leverage has once again backfired. ETH futures accounted for over $500 million of the $1.8 billion long liquidation, underscoring Ethereum’s vulnerability to sudden drawdowns. Leverage risk: With the average funding rate at +0.0029%, traders were heavily overexposed. Domino effect: When ETH broke below $4,150, stop-losses and margin calls triggered a cascading sell-off. Open interest: ETH derivatives open interest surged 19% in 24h, showing volatility was amplified by excessive speculation. The high-leverage environment created a fragile setup where a single breakdown sparked a chain reaction of forced selling. Technical Weakness Adds Pressure ETH also faces mounting technical headwinds after failing to hold critical levels. Pivot breakdown: ETH slipped below its 24h pivot point at $4,250. Resistance: The 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at $4,624 now serves as resistance. Beyond that, MACD histogram at -33.17 signals clear bearish momentum, while the RSI at 40.46 is weak but not oversold, leaving room for further downside. Price targets: Short-term traders are eyeing $4,092 (September 23 low) as the next support.Long-term structure remains intact as long as ETH holds above the 200-day EMA ($3,403), suggesting investors aren’t panic-selling yet.
