$ETH Ethereum Plunges: US Inflation Shock Sparks Massive Sell-Off

The cryptocurrency market witnessed a massive sell-off of Ethereum (Ethereum) following the release of US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data showing an acceleration in inflation rates during September.

Key Moments of the Plunge:

Record Sell-Off Volume: Binance recorded its highest level of Ethereum long positions liquidated in a single hour in six months.

Price Drop: Ethereum's price fell from around $2,500 to $2,350 (a drop of approximately 7%), briefly dipping to $2,315, its lowest level since its recovery in August.

Latest Performance (according to CoinGeco):

24-Hour Change: Down 5.99% (to approximately $2,350).

7-Day Change: Down 8.31%. Market capitalization: Approximately $286.9 billion.

Daily trading volume: Approximately $18.37 billion.

Causes and underlying risks:

Monetary policy: Analysts attributed these movements to growing concerns that the US Federal Reserve would tighten its monetary policy and raise interest rates again.

Leverage risks: High leverage levels exacerbated the crisis, as losses in positions lead to automatic liquidation when collateral fails, thus amplifying selling pressure and deepening the price decline in the market.
