Ethereum liquidation barrier warning: $1 billion hanging overhead

HashBandit · 2026-01-09T14:40:09+00:00

Ethereum is currently facing severe liquidation pressure, with limited price fluctuation room. A fluctuation exceeding 10% will trigger a large number of forced liquidations. During upward movements, short orders face risks, while during downward movements, long positions are at great risk, and market sentiment is very tense.

【Crypto World】Ethereum is currently at a critical juncture—liquidation pressure is quite heavy. According to the latest data, there is little room for fluctuation up or down. As long as the price moves more than 10% in either direction, it could trigger a surge of over 1 billion USD in forced liquidations at any moment.

Specifically, if the market moves upward, the $1.64 billion short orders need to be watched carefully, as the risk of being squeezed is very real. Conversely, if it drops, the $1.05 billion long positions face the risk of being completely wiped out. It’s like dancing on the edge of a cliff—traps are everywhere on both sides.

Market participants need to keep their eyes wide open; this price level has become an extremely sensitive trigger point.

A billion dollars is at stake. How cautious should we be with this wave of market movement?

Dancing on the edge of a cliff is an apt description. Now I really don't dare to move at all, as $1 billion could explode at any moment.

No way, is it really true that 1 billion dollars is just hanging in the balance? I don't even dare to move my position now.

Oh no, this wave is really dangerous, with 1 billion USD at stake... --- Both bears and bulls have to die, this is the current situation of ETH --- Here we go again, every time it's said to be extremely sensitive, but nothing actually happens --- I don't understand the liquidation barrier, but these numbers sound very exciting --- Are both sides traps? Then just don't move, lying flat is the safest --- My goodness, I really can't hold a heavy position at this price, it's too easy to be smashed --- Are we going to start cutting leeks again? This kind of rhetoric --- 10% volatility... feels like it can be triggered normally?

Here comes the same old trick to harvest retail investors again. I'll just watch quietly as this $1 billion explodes.
