Currently, Ethereum's price is locked tightly between $3095 and $3147, with a total fluctuation of no more than $50. This narrow trading range may seem calm, but according to volatility compression theory, such a low-volatility state is unlikely to last long. Especially after the shock from the event on January 13, there is a high probability of a strong breakout in the next 72 hours.

The most striking thing is that in the past 24 hours, ETH experienced approximately $42 million in liquidations. Among them, longs were hit the hardest, with $26.5 million in long liquidations alone. This indicates that the market has undergone a round of deleveraging. Looking further, the $3000 to $3020 area is the most densely accumulated liquidation zone over the next three days. If the funds want to seize the opportunity to collect chips, they can easily push the price briefly to this level to trigger a wave of stop-loss orders.

Is it going to break again? This $50 level is making me uncomfortable. Let's see who will hold out first.

Where does it feel like a bunch of bears are lurking around the 3000 yuan level, just waiting for the big players to dump the market?

yo 42m in liquidations in 24h and they expect us to believe this is organic? nah, transaction pattern suggests classic whale positioning before the dump. historical data from jan shows same setup every time.

Here we go again. These compressed market caps have never had good intentions; a 72-hour explosion is just around the corner.

This wave of liquidations is truly intense, with longs being crushed to death.

Is the volatility compression happening again? Wake up, this time it's probably just a false breakout. --- The 42 million liquidation wave, the bulls got crushed again, this script is always the same. --- Will 3000-3020 really become a slaughterhouse, or is it just another trap set by the big players? --- Every time they say there will be a fierce breakout within 72 hours, but what’s the result? The market has been sideways for half a month. --- Do the funds really have that much motivation to buy up the chips? I think they’re just playing the stop-loss game. --- I've heard too much about the volatility compression theory; it feels like old news now. --- The liquidation wave probably just washed out retail investors; the big players have long since retreated. --- Waiting to see how long the 3000 level can hold. I bet five bucks it will be broken. --- Another wave of panic selling and decline, huh? Contract traders, be careful.
