Ethereum price plunged into a violent sell-off on Monday, wiping out many leveraged long positions and rattling traders.<\/p>\n
Ethereum\u2019s price has, however, rebounded slightly, with CoinGecko showing ETH trading around $4,197, with a 24-hour range near $4,125\u2013$4,220 at press time.<\/p>\n
On Monday, Ethereum (ETH) fell roughly 15% alongside other major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC)<\/a>, triggering $1.5 billion in liquidations \u2014 the largest single event in six months.<\/p>\n BIGGEST LIQUIDATION CASCADE EVER<\/p>\n OVER $1B IN LONGS WIPED OUT IN A SINGLE HOUR<\/p>\n THE REAL BLOODBATH \ud83e\ude78 pic.twitter.com\/3MPOw56O48<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Al\u039ex Wacy \ud83c\udf10 (@wacy_time1) September 22, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n The sudden drop forced many leveraged long positions to close and pushed ETH toward a key psychological floor around $4,000.<\/p>\n The price decline came even as institutional demand continued.<\/p>\n BlackRock\u2019s spot ETH ETF registered roughly $512 million of inflows during the same sell-off, underscoring a divide between retail pressure and institutional accumulation.<\/p>\n Technically, the market looks fragile. ETH recently broke a symmetrical triangle, a move that gives a measured downside target near $3,560 if selling persists.<\/p>\n Analyst Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe has flagged the $3,550\u2013$3,750 area as a likely support zone, and he noted that the 20-week EMA sits close to $3,685.<\/p>\n I think that we’ll see some more chop occur on $ETH<\/a>.<\/p>\n I don’t know whether we’ll dip as deep as $3,550-3,750, but I’m sure that we’ll start to see:<\/p>\n \u2013 20-Week MA is getting closer.

The near term is binary: hold above $4,000 and bulls can chase higher targets; lose that floor and technical setups point to a deeper correction toward the mid-$3,000s.<\/p>\n Longer term, robust institutional flows, tokenisation trends, and macro easing provide clear bullish arguments \u2014 some analysts even see five-figure and double-digit-thousand outcomes on the horizon.<\/p>\n Traders and investors should watch liquidity, ETF flows, and moving-average confirmations to decide which path unfolds next.<\/p>\n The post Ethereum price forecast: analysts reveal shocking targets after the $1.5B liquidation bloodbath<\/a> appeared first on CoinJournal<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Analysts see downside to $3,560 or upside targets up to $20,000 after Ethereum crashed 15% on Monday.
