<p>Moreover, all these ETH transfers occurred following the breakdown of the bearish rising wedge price action pattern on a daily time frame. With this notable dump, the sentiment for ETH has turned extremely bearish. Additionally, technical indicators such as the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) signal that ETH is in a downtrend.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Based on the price action and technical analysis, with this bearish outlook, there is a high possibility that ETH could decline by 12% to the $2,200 level in the coming days.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-key-liquidation-areas"><strong>Key Liquidation Areas</strong></h2> 
<p>Meanwhile, short sellers are dominating and liquidating long positions. Currently, the major liquidation levels are near the $2,487 level on the lower side and $2,550 on the upper side, according to the on-chain analytic firm CoinGlass. This data indicates that traders have been over-leveraged at these levels in the last 24 hours.</p>

<p>If the market sentiment remains bearish and the ETH price falls to the 2,487 level, nearly $256 million worth of long positions will be liquidated. Conversely, if the sentiment shifts and the price rises to a $2,550 level, approximately $168 million worth of short positions will be liquidated.</p> 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ether-price-analysis"><strong>Ether Price Analysis</strong></h3> 
<p>These data show that ETH is currently $10 away from the massive long liquidation. At press time, <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-analysis/ethereum-memecoins-bleed-will-pepe-floki-pump-or-dump-this-september/">Ether</a> is trading near the $2,498 level and has experienced a price decline of over 2.65% in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, its trading volume has dropped by 16% during the same period, indicating lower participation from traders due to the ongoing ETH dump and market sentiment.</p>
