<a href="https://u.today/ethereum-eth-surges-449-in-surprising-whale-activity-amid-market-dip">Ethereum</a>, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has recently witnessed a major price decline, prompting investors to speculate on whether the bearish trend might continue. However, futures market data suggests that a reversal could be on the way, a recent <a href="https://x.com/cryptoquant_com/status/1822926551693893957">CryptoQuant</a> analysis indicated.
Ethereum's recent drop has sparked long liquidations, hitting levels not seen since November 2022. This significant liquidation suggests a cooling of the futures market, as many leveraged positions have been flushed out.
Such a scenario may pave the way for fresh interest on the futures market. With the futures market potentially reset, if demand returns, Ethereum may be primed for a major price rally in the long term.
The cooling of the futures market may attract new investors and stabilize the market, pointing to a possible comeback from the recent price downturn.
At the time of writing, ETH was up 2.4% in the last 24 hours to $2,695 and up 12% weekly.
