Overview

As the market ushers in another week of trading, the price of Ethereum has been struggling to hold above $1,100. This coveted point which it had broken last week remains an important technical level, which is why bulls continue to fight to hold it. However, with the decline of the digital asset’s price below $$1,200, its liquidations have been ramping up and in the last four hours, it had briefly surpassed bitcoin as more traders lose their positions. Over $30 Million Ethereum Liquidated Ethereum liquidations shot past bitcoin liquidations as its price continued to decline. In the last 24 hours, there have been more than 28,000 ETH liquidated as the market declines. This follows the general liquidation trend in the market given that the price of Ethereum had failed to test $1,500 as expected. In total, more than $32 million ETH had been liquidated from traders across the last day. The same streak was recorded in the pioneer cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, whose liquidations had reached $35 million in the same time period. This translated to 1,740 BTC positions liquidated in this time period, and other altcoins had followed the same losing streak.

Ethereum has been doing quite well lately. The digital asset has been able to fend off the bears which have tried to drag down the price below $1,000 and had maintained the fight through last week. This had brought it above its 20-day moving average and had set it for a bullish trend for the first time in a month.
