Ethereum's price has experienced a significant drop, plummeting to a low of $2,030 and sparking market panic. This sharp decline has erased recent gains and raised concerns about a potential longer-term downturn. Key metrics, such as open interest and liquidation levels, indicate strong selling pressure. Despite the negative sentiment, some investors view this dip as an opportunity to buy, arguing that Ethereum is undervalued and could experience future growth.
