Recently, on-chain liquidation data for Ethereum revealed an interesting phenomenon — the market is standing at a highly sensitive crossroads.
According to exchange liquidation position statistics, once the ETH price breaks through $3,300, the entire network's short positions will face a collective liquidation pressure of $809 million. Conversely, if it drops below $3,150, the longs will be washed out with $1.053 billion. This is not an ordinary fluctuation range — these two levels have already evolved into market "minefields."
From the liquidation chart, the height of the bars intuitively reflects the chain reaction of price movements. The two towering liquidation bars now resemble two hurdles; the levels of 3300 and 3150 have become focal points that all participants are watching. Once the price touches either of these levels, automated liquidation will immediately trigger, causing a sharp acceleration in a short period — this is what we often call the "liquidation cascade effect."
In simple terms, this is no longer just a battle between bulls and bears. When liquidation positions reach this scale, the market structure itself becomes the main subject of stress testing. Whether you hold spot positions or participate in the futures market, these two levels will be critical turning points for the upcoming trend. Large traders and institutions are closely monitoring this, because behind every liquidation wave lie both risks and opportunities.
What do you think? Will Ethereum break upward first or break down? Will the bulls or the bears come out on top? Write down your analysis — let's witness this upcoming market turbulence together.

That 3150 hurdle is more dangerous than 3300. On the day of the bull crash, institutions will definitely be accumulating chips.

8.09 billion and 10.53 billion, these two numbers... To be honest, this is no longer just liquidation data; it's an indicator of the market structure's inherent fragility. Once the stampede effect is triggered, there's no such thing as an "opportunity"—only the reality that whoever runs faster survives.

The 3300 level is too dangerous, it feels like big funds are lurking here
---
Honestly, once the panic selling starts, it's a battlefield. Small retail investors can't react in time
---
Looking at these two liquidation candles, I'm a bit scared. It's safer to wait for a confirmed break before taking action
---
Both bulls and bears have large positions inside, it feels like a meat grinder
---
Damn, so many liquidations really cause chain reactions. Don't ask me how I know
---
Institutions are definitely betting on one side, we're just along for the ride
---
If 3150 really breaks, the bulls might suffer heavy losses. Can't even imagine
---
This wave of market movement is a bit intense, saving your skin is the priority
---
With so much liquidation pressure on both sides, the market actually has no room to maneuver
---
I just want to know if the big players are long or short right now. If I follow them, I can make money

It's the same old liquidation data tricks again. Do I really have to wait for the crypto community to explain market structure to me?
I've already marked 3300 and 3150, but honestly, these "minefield" theories come up every week. In the end, it's just a dull oscillation that doesn't really hurt.
Institutions are watching the clear liquid columns; I'm watching whether the transaction fees are inflated. The ones who truly make money are never about just locking in positions.

I've already identified the key level at 3300, and the panic selling effect is really coming this time, isn't it?

Points 3150 and 3300, we really need to keep a close eye on them.
This round of liquidation data looks truly intense. The feeling of a dual-sided squeeze, with lightning strikes on both sides.
Speaking of which, the biggest fear of this kind of stampede effect is a sudden black swan event, which could trigger a chain reaction. Do you remember the Ethereum flash crash last time?
I'm currently just holding spot positions and don't dare to open contracts. Let's wait and see how it develops. It feels like this round of market movement isn't that simple.

Oh no, isn't this the standard routine of a Ponzi scheme? A long position of 1.053 billion USD, waiting to be harvested.
I saw this setup a month ago, and in the end, all the retail investors laid flat.
They can't break through the 3300 level, the death spiral has already started.
Big institutions have known these two numbers for a long time, just waiting for retail investors to flock in. The stampede effect? Laughable, that's just a weed-cutting effect.
This wave is either life or death; I bet on a 5 USDT short winning.
Check the list, on-chain evidence is right here, longs are about to face trouble.
Breaking the support is only a matter of time, whether today or tomorrow.
Instead of guessing, it's better to watch the big players' moves. If they run, you have to follow.
Once the 3150 level breaks, it's all over; history will repeat itself.
Market structure? That's just a weed harvester, turning around to clear out a wave of people.
Old Ma knows the way, buddy. I won't participate in this round; the risk is too high.
