Those capitulation wicks usually come when open interest gets flushed in one go, and that hasn't happened yet: ETH perp OI is still roughly $1.28B with price around $1,815 and the 24h low at $1,809. What did change is funding, now slightly negative (~-0.0065%/8h), so the crowd is leaning short. A 10% five-minute candle from here would be ~$1,630. Possible, but with shorts this crowded a squeeze could come first. Scaling in like you're doing makes sense when the wick timing is a guess.

The biggest mistake in this market is trying to recover losses by jumping into whatever coin looks the most oversold. LTC going from $45 back to $70 sounds amazing, but there's a reason it's down there. Cheap doesn't automatically mean undervalued. Personally, I'd rather scale into BTC and ETH gradually than move 50% of my BTC into LTC hoping for a bounce. If BTC loses another 10%, there's a good chance alts get hit even harder. And honestly, the fact that every small rally gets sold immediately tells me buyers still aren't fully in control. I'm not convinced the bottom is in, but I'm also not trying to catch the exact bottom. Keeping some dry powder seems smarter than going all-in either direction. One question though: if you weren't already holding LTC, would you genuinely buy it today over BTC, or are you just remembering when it was $70?

Got a good recovery, then every little spike we had every day, just crashed further right after the momentum. Cannot BTC down to 65k again from hitting 80k on Nov 5th. I'm convinced LTC is just being manipulated - short, buy, short, buy - etc now. One of my faves (I know, bash me IDC) - but 80s in Jan to start 2026, down to 40 in last June, back to 70s last Sept, now back to 45. Almost feel like taking a risk and moving half my BTC to LTC at 45 right now. Might go to 40 again, even high 30s - never know. But I'll regret it if it pumps back to 70s from 45 and never did it as we've all thought will jump in when it drops another 10% - then it never does and goes up 50% in a 2-4 weeks. What are y'all's thoughts right now? When BTC hit 70k I was so close to just swapping to USDC for the time being and regret the hell out of it. My main guys are BTC, LTC, ETH, LINK, and ZCash. Looking more into Solana and Monero from a few recommendations, as I've been just holding all BTC as of late as I liquidating a lot of my gold/silver (thank God) and moved it just into BTC. At 70k was just down about 5% overall, now at 65k, starting to get worried as I was not looking to lose 10% like that off of the 100% gold gains / 300% silver gains.

Corn ETH SOL Xrp all free falling

I don't think it's damaging at all for Ethereum the network specifically. If they're looking for 24/7, trustless financial settlement, the technology exists now and it's relatively inexpensive to use. They'd adopt it regardless of the price. If it's a pure (or mostly) ETH play, like a DAT, then I think the bad price action sends them running out of the room screaming and they won't return for years. Why would they? If they want SoV, they'll choose BTC which itself can barely live up to that narrative. If they want volatility to trade or small caps to 100x, there's dozens of better choices.

ETH is being repriced lower because the entire market is down…

Yes he did, he should go for it anyway imo. The one thing he is really good at is raising money/marketing. If he actually thinks ETH will go up in the future he should definitely be buying here hard when the price is 50% lower than his entry. It's a mistake for him to cap himself himself at 5%.

By 2030 ETH should be quantum proof, Lean Roadmap done or close for it, built in privacy, faster and cheaper with significantly more adoption through stablecoins, agents, tokenization. Have no clue about BTC but ETH has a bright future!!

> major financial players Cheap gas never hurt anyboy, if your smart contract does not invest directly into ETH.

Shorting ETH against BTC and HYPE has been stupid profitable, it's actually scaring me a bit that this trade isn't more crowded.

Quick update since you posted: as of about 10:30 AM ET, ETH perp on BloFin is around 1,834, so the 1,860-1,890 hourly support you flagged has given way, and the 24h low there is about 1,828. The 9 AM ET hourly candle did most of the damage, roughly 1,893 down to 1,853 on about 13,000 ETH traded versus about 1,700 ETH the hour before, so that was a real volume push, not a slow drift. Funding is the part I'd watch next. It's still slightly positive, about +0.0007% per 8h on BloFin and +0.0012% on Bitunix (public market data; we partner with both). So even after the support break, longs are still paying a little to stay in. If the retest from below fails the way you described and funding flips clearly negative, that would point to shorts piling in rather than longs getting flushed, which can set up a squeeze later, though not always. Until then, waiting for a reclaim instead of catching the knife makes sense to me. Just one data lens, not a call.

it's Saturday morning and ETH is $1849. Are you sure it's going back up to $1850 tomorrow night?

What are you investing in, if not ETH, at the moment?

ETH around $1,870 this morning, roughly -4.6% on the day and -16% on the week, ETH/BTC about 0.0282. What I'm watching is perp funding: basically flat, a hair negative on the main ETH perp, with about $1.3B of open interest still sitting there. So this doesn't look like longs getting force-closed anymore, more like steady selling with leverage waiting. If the ~$1,858 daily low breaks and funding turns clearly negative, late shorts become squeeze fuel. If it holds while OI shrinks, it's a slow grind rather than a capitulation wick. Fear & Greed at 13 says sentiment already capitulated, price just hasn't confirmed it.

Do you actually know anything about crypto? Do you understand the value of decetralization and permissionlessness? Have you heard about Ethereum? DeFi? The main purpose of crypto isn't to invent a bunch of new use cases that didn't exist before. The point of crypto is to offer a better way to do things that we already can do. Namely, a more secure and decentralized alternative. Without crypto, if you want to transfer $10,000 to someone else, you either have to wait a long time, be KYC'd and have your transaction reviewed or pay a large fee. With Ethereum you can send $10,000 to anyone in the world in less than 12 secs for a fee of $0.005. That's the difference. Whether you live in Cuba or China or Venezuela or Somalia, you can access a secure financial system which will allow you to safely store your money in ETH or stablecurrencies, you can earn an interest, trade, whatever, and your goverment or a central authority can't seize your funds or prevent you from spending them and you're not subject to things like runaway inflation.

Nah, passive investment. Timing was a coincidence, thought BTC was at a good price and had some spare money at the time, ETH and XRP too. Sold some 18 months later as needed some money, wanted to take some risk out of it

I’d separate a long-term spot investment from trying to catch the bottom here. Around $1,900, ETH still looks bearish on both the daily and hourly charts: lower highs, lower lows, and price below the moving averages. Oversold conditions can produce a bounce, but they don’t confirm a reversal. I’m watching roughly $1,860–1,890 for support. A break below followed by a failed reclaim would keep the downside risk open. For a stronger recovery case, I’d want to see ETH reclaim $1,950–1,970, then close above $2,000–2,020 and hold that area on a retest. The derivatives snapshot I’m looking at shows a heavy long bias, near-neutral positive funding, and rising hourly open interest. That isn’t a buy signal by itself, and it leaves me cautious if support breaks. For a multi-year position, buying gradually spreads out the entry timing, but it doesn’t remove downside risk. For a trade, I’d wait for confirmation. ETH being cheaper doesn’t necessarily mean the bottom is in.

I'm curious about this, I invested in Bitcoin, ETH and a couple altcoins but I have since sold all of them made some little profit, I'm not a trader I just invest for long term. I know that the OGs that have invested +6 years ago have made amazing gains, but I'm curious about people who have been in crypto for shorter than that timeframe how you all are doing? I'm not in crypto anymore, I basically hold broad based etf funds now and ironically in just one year I'm making more gains than my 5 years of investing in crypto.

You mean ETH ETF?

IonQ says they would have a machine powerful enough by 2028. That bar only holds if the size needed to beat secp256k1 doesn't go down as it has many times over. # How much is exposed * **about 6.3 million BTC** in outputs whose public key is already visible [Source](https://chaincode.com/bitcoin-post-quantum.pdf) * **about 2.3 million BTC** dormant and unlikely to ever move to safe addresses [Source](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.14484) * **50 to 65%** of all ETH has an exposed key at rest, by one estimate [Source](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.14484) Assuming, Bitcoin does migrate on time. I don't see many options here. Just locking out those millions? That would cut the supply significantly. So a rise of the price? Centralized exchanges probably will automatically migrate but a lot of holders hold their own keys and they'd have to all migrate on time? What is the plan? When does it get to dangerous to hold? So a price drop then? I am pretty confused. Quantum threat tracker -> [Bitcoin](https://quantum.vicnas.me/threats/bitcoin/)

I think The price of ETH will go down wait a little bit but if you are active enough to check chart everyday then go for DCA. Bonus tip: if you are planning to hold for a long term then stake those ETH after buying.

Now a good time to buy ETH ?

I agree that crypto often moves as one risk asset, especially during sharp deleveraging. When liquidity tightens, Bitcoin, ETH, and most altcoins tend to correlate because positioning, funding, and risk appetite dominate individual fundamentals. I also agree that ETF outflows are at least partly reactive. Several studies find that ETF investors often sell after price declines and buy after rallies, so flows can follow price rather than lead it. That said, I would be careful treating “below $70K is good value” as a standalone signal. A lower price is only good value if the thesis, demand, liquidity, and macro backdrop support it. Oversold can stay oversold for longer than expected, especially when leverage is being unwound. Q1 2027 momentum is possible, but it feels more like a scenario than a forecast. I would want to see spot demand stabilize, funding reset without another liquidation cascade, and ETF outflows slow before treating this as a regime change rather than a correction.

Same approach here. The one thing I’d add: the buffer only helps if you’re around when it gets used. Liquidation is the most expensive way out, since the liquidator takes \~4-5% of what’s seized on most ETH markets, so I’d rather pick my own exit above the line than defend it late night. Disclosure: I’m building [Supersmooth.fi](http://Supersmooth.fi), which does that onchain (Stop Loss / Auto Sell on Aave, Morpho, Spark positions), but even a manual rule like “repay at X” beats a buffer you have to watch
