Ethereum price loses key support as ETF outflows and liquidations surge — ETH outflows and liquidations raise downside risk

After several weeks of compressed trading, Ethereum has finally broken out of its narrow range and volatility is returning quickly. At the same time, the market is absorbing a wave of liquidations and a fresh acceleration in outflows from spot ETFs.

According to CoinGlass, around $546 million of crypto positions have been liquidated during the last 24 hours, out of which around $479.7 million have been from the shorts. It shows that there was a massive unwinding of bearish positions, and it demonstrates the high levels of leverage used in the market.

Institutional flows into Ethereum have also deteriorated sharply. On October 6, there was $201.9 million worth of outflows from U.S. spot ETH ETFs.

In the market, there is currently a struggle between two conflicting forces, one being the quick wash-out of the short leverage, and the second being the profit-taking done by the short-term traders. No big bull catalyst has come out so far to revive the demand.

A hold below $2,630 could expose $2,550

The base-case scenario from the previous analysis has started to play out. Ethereum broke below $2,630 support, which had previously been a key level for preserving the short-term technical structure.

If the price closes today’s session below $2,630 and confirms a sustained hold beneath that level, the risk of a deeper correction would increase materially. The first downside target would be the 50-day SMA near $2,550.

A break below that level would weaken the technical picture further and could extend the correction towards the next support zone at $2,400–2,350.

The current bearish setup would be invalidated by a recovery above $2,720 followed by a sustained hold. That would signal a false breakdown and shift attention back towards the major $2,900–3,000 liquidity zone.

Volatility returns after weeks of price compression

The rise in volatility now looks increasingly natural. Since September 23, ETH had been trading inside an unusually tight range, allowing leverage to build on both sides of the market.

After such periods of compression, a break of a key level often triggers a chain of stops and forced liquidations that amplifies the initial move. Following the loss of $2,630, intraday swings could therefore become much sharper, with the next technical levels potentially being reached faster than during the previous consolidation phase.
