$ETH got hammered to $2,564 overnight — down nearly 5% after Fed minutes floated another hike by year-end. $174M in longs liquidated in 24 hours.

This is the classic macro flush. Fed talks hawkish, risk assets puke first, crypto leads the selloff. The question: is this capitulation or the start of something uglier?

Here's my read — this smells like a sweep. $2,564 is a liquidity grab below the recent range low. If we reclaim $2,620–$2,640 in the next 48 hours, I'm treating this as the low and looking to add. Invalidation is a daily close under $2,540 — that opens the door to $2,400.

Short-term pain, but the 2027–2030 cycle setup is still intact. Fed will pivot eventually, and when they do, crypto rips first. Use flushes like this to build your book, not panic.

Watch $SPX here too — if equities stabilize and hold 4,400, risk-on comes back fast. If we break lower, crypto follows. Right now, $ETH is oversold, longs are cleared, and we're sitting on a key level. I'm leaning long with tight risk.
