Ethereum Struggles at $1,750; Assessing ETH Recovery Odds

Ethereum’s first quarter saw a significant drop of 44.83%, signaling weakening investor confidence. While Bitcoin held near all-time highs, ETH’s performance diverged sharply.

Specifically, wallets holding over 10,000 ETH have decreased from 999 to 896, which coincided with Ethereum’s price slide from $2,618 to $1,818 between February 23 and April 3, 2025.

Ethereum (ETH) Crashes Amid Selling and Liquidation Pressure, But Whales Buy the Dip

Ethereum (ETH) crashed into the $1,500 range due to selling and liquidation pressure.

ETH hit a daily low of $1,542.17 after the opening crash on Asian markets and later slipped to $1,448.46, triggering more liquidation levels. Despite this, some whales returned to buy the dip, indicating their confidence in ETH’s future.
