Ethereum's price surged 6% to above $2,800 driven by Bitcoin's rally to $112,000 and optimism around ETH whale activity.
Over $500 million in leveraged positions, including $139 million in ETH, were liquidated, leading to sharp price movements across major exchanges.
Institutional interest and increased buying activity are expected to propel Ethereum's price higher, with the anticipation of a breakout above $3,000.
Despite over $500 million in liquidations impacting leveraged traders, market sentiment remains cautiously optimistic, supported by institutional inflows and Ethereum's role as a foundational blockchain.
