ETH price nudges into a potential buy range of $1,935‑$2,075 as liquidations subside, while a move above $2,400 would confirm a bullish reversal ahead of the Glamsterdam upgrade.

Ethereum (ETH) rallied 1.3% in the last 24 hours, pushing the token back into a technical buy zone after a sharp drop triggered by the recent Binance hack. The crypto market saw more than $6 billion stolen from the exchange, sparking a cascade of long liquidations worth $1.7 billion over two days. As market makers unwound hedges, ETH fell sharply before finding support near $2,075‑$1,935, a range analysts consider a “hot” buying area.

Liquidity crunch and price reaction

  • The Binance breach caused a market‑wide decline and massive futures‑market liquidations.
  • Long positions were liquidated at $1.7 billion, amplifying short‑term price swings.
  • A lower wick on the daily chart shows buying pressure re‑emerging at the $2,000 level.

Macro backdrop recedes

  • The Federal Reserve left rates unchanged, easing concerns over immediate monetary tightening.
  • With the next FOMC meeting in early December, traders expect a possible 25‑bp hike later in the year.
  • If rate‑hike odds fall, crypto assets could see additional upside.

What traders are watching

  • A clear break above $2,400 would validate a bullish reversal and set the stage for the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade.
  • Failure to hold $2,075 could trigger further downside toward $1,800.
  • Upcoming data: Fed’s December policy decision and any new developments around the Binance hack resolution.
