Ethereum (ETH) has been caught in a brutal selloff, plunging from $2,815 to as low as $2,315 after a massive $1.5 billion hack on Bybit. On Monday, ETH crashed alongside Bitcoin as panic spread across the market. Yesterday, the price attempted a weak recovery but failed to reclaim key resistance levels, leading to another sharp decline today. With ETH now struggling near $2,440, traders are asking: Is this the bottom, or will Ethereum sink even lower?
Ethereum’s crash was driven by the $1.5 billion Bybit hack with Bitcoin’s drop below $90K worsening the selloff, dragging altcoins lower. Liquidity concerns and regulatory fears added pressure, while leveraged liquidations accelerated the decline, forcing more traders to exit.
With panic still gripping the market, traders should brace for high volatility. A strong bounce in Bitcoin could help ETH recover, but if BTC continues sliding, Ethereum will struggle to find a floor.
For now, Ethereum remains in survival mode—but as history has shown, deep selloffs often create the best buying opportunities.
