Ethereum has experienced a resurgence, climbing past the $2,500 mark today. This recovery marks a positive turn for the second-largest crypto by market capitalization, which has faced significant volatility in recent months. However, the recovery may be at risk due to the potential liquidation noted by Jump Trading. 
At press time, the <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/weekly-ethereum-etfs-inflows-turn-positive-as-ethereum-price-eyes-3000-retest/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ETH price</a> was up by 3.03% to $2,503.63 on Wednesday, August 7, 2024. Nonetheless, long and short liquidations are at par with over $20 million liquidated in each case. It suggests a stagnant performance, however, netizens expect a doom due to FUD around recent institutional liquidations.
