Ethereum (ETH) is struggling to hold above $4,200 after a sharp sell-off triggered widespread liquidations across the crypto market. It has dropped nearly 9% over the past week, with traders bracing for a potential retest of the $4,100 level.<\/p>\n

Data from CoinGlass shows that more than $178 million in positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours, with ETH long traders suffering the biggest blow, over $127 million wiped out.<\/p>\n

A notable case saw one Hyperliquid trader lose nearly $6.2 million after re-entering ETH longs too aggressively, turning months of gains into heavy losses within just two days.<\/p>\n

This volatility comes as Ethereum\u2019s exit queue for staking withdrawals has surged to 910,461 ETH, worth about $3.91 billion, signaling an upcoming wave of supply that could pressure prices further.<\/p>\n

Institutional Investors Step in Despite Market Jitters<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Despite retail pain, large institutional players appear to be buying the dip. Bitmine Immersion<\/a>, the biggest publicly traded ETH holder, recently added 52,475 ETH, bringing its holdings to nearly $6.6 billion.<\/p>\n

SharpLink followed suit, purchasing 143,593 ETH at $4,648, though its position is now underwater.<\/p>\n

Blockchain trackers also flagged new inflows from FalconX-linked wallets worth over $38 million. This suggests that while short-term sentiment remains shaky, big-money investors continue to accumulate ETH, betting on its long-term value.<\/p>\n

Ethereum (ETH) Analysts Warn of Deeper Losses Before Recovery<\/strong><\/p>\n

Market experts caution that Ethereum<\/a> may remain under pressure as macroeconomic uncertainty looms ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve\u2019s Jackson Hole meeting. Pessimistic tone from Fed Chair Jerome Powell could trigger further risk-off sentiment across crypto and equities.<\/p>\n

On-chain activity has also weakened. Active Ethereum addresses have dropped nearly 28% in August, signaling waning retail participation. Network growth has slowed as well, raising questions about near-term demand.<\/p>\n

Still, analysts see long-term upside once the market absorbs the $4B staking unlock. Some forecasts remain bullish, with Ethereum projected to reach between $6,000\u2013$8,000 by year-end if institutional flows persist.<\/p>\n

For now, however, the critical question remains: can ETH defend $4,000, or will supply pressure drag it into a deeper correction?<\/p>\n
