Ethereum enters technical buy zone after Binance hack scare

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.
