Ethereum Liquidations Spike — Monitor Volatility
In the past four hours I observed $56.98M of Ethereum liquidations versus $19.67M for Bitcoin — a clear imbalance that points to a heavier recent unwind in ETH leverage.
That scale of liquidations usually increases short-term volatility and can amplify price swings, so I view this as a sign of elevated risk around Ethereum right now.
I'll be watching funding rates, open interest and the order book to see whether this is capitulation that precedes a rebound or the start of a sustained move; traders should consider lowering leverage and using tighter risk controls.
Analysis
Recommendation
Watch the market closely and avoid adding leverage; consider reducing exposure or tightening stops until funding rates and open interest show stabilization or a clear directional bias.
