Ethereum saw strong upside volatility, briefly reaching a three-week high of $2.4K before retracing. At press time, ETH traded at $2,314, down 2.35% on the daily charts, signaling a short-term shift in momentum.
With the recent market uptick, whales that entered long positions during the dip have seen their holdings turn highly profitable.
According to Onchain Lens, two wallets tied to a single Matrixport entity fully closed 95,000 ETH long positions. After the trade, the whale realized $41.4 million in profit.
Following that exit, the whale still holds a 25,000 ETH (20x) long position in one wallet, with a floating profit of $8.1 million. The partial profit-taking suggests the trader may see limited upside, using the rally as a favorable exit point.
While profits for long positions increased, the subsequent pullback also triggered higher liquidation activity.
CoinGlass data shows $38.98 million worth of longs were liquidated, while more shorts were liquidated. Liquidation totals indicate short liquidations exceeded $54.4 million.
Despite rising liquidations across both sides, traders continued adding exposure. Over the past 24 hours, $15.61 billion flowed into futures positions versus $15.13 billion in outflows. Futures netflows rose to $476 million, indicating aggressive futures positioning as traders entered both long and short positions.
Ethereum’s heightened volatility was largely driven by derivatives activity, with increased profit realization and liquidations highlighting the risks of leveraged trading.
Even with the volatility, ETH maintained upside strength. The altcoin remained above short-term moving averages, supported by MACD and SMA signals. At the same time, Stochastic RSI formed a bullish crossover, rising to 85 and extending further into overbought territory—conditions that point to strong short-term demand, though momentum appears stretched.
If demand holds, ETH could work toward reclaiming the $2,400 resistance level and potentially target $2,900. If the bullish attempt fails, Ethereum may retrace toward short-term support near $2,133.

Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
