WHY ETHERIUM IS FALLING?

A Massive Sell-off has taken place in Crypto Market



Altcoins are down big today with some trading more than 30% lower, but the drops in giants like Bitcoin and Etherium are staggering.

There are a couple of things to look at in short-term trading. One is that liquidations are accelerating as investors with leveraged bets that crypto prices would rise are liquidated from those positions. According to coinglass.com, $1.14 billion in crypto positions have been liquidated in the last 24 hours and $416 million of that batch came in just the last four hours.


3 MONTHS AGO (OCT. 11) - $4,868

ONE WEEK AGO (JAN. 13) - $3,410

TOMMORROW (JAN. 22) - $2,300

This is happening across the industry, but Ethereum is being hit hardest with $113 million in liquidations in the last four hours.

Being the second day of the market failure, Ethereum (ETH) steps down sinking deeper and deeper, Upon the first market crash of the year 2022, around January 1st week, ETH dropped down below the much expected stable support point of $3,600. As many analysts depict the primary reasons for the first market crash is upon the Federal Reserve’s critical decisions upon the soon to come out new crypto and digital currency report.

Many factors together account for such desperate failures

On the contrary, many depict that ETH has many faults of its own being critical factors for such destructive performance for the past few days. Accordingly, the co-founder of ETH, Vitalik Buterin, recently stated that one of the major back pulling factors for the ETH is the high gas price for the transactions. The transaction costs approximately accounts to about $40 or at times more than that.

Solana (SOL) Price Prediction: Will the Price of Solana (SOL) Break $120 Next?

  On Saturday, the price of Solana (SOL) appears to be exhausted near the higher levels. As accumulation increases near the demand zone, buyers stayed committed to the coin for about $88.0. The price pushed near $115.0 due to the unwavering strong sentiment. After testing two-week highs, the price of Solana (SOL) halted. If SOL breaks through $120 in the near term, expect more gains. At $145.0, the price is still trading below the 200 DMA. The price of SOL is still under pressure around two-week highs.
