【ETH falls to 1995—don't rush to treat “cheap” as a safety net】
If ETH really drops to 1995, or even sweeps lower, would you increase the leverage on your futures positions? Don't laugh—people who got rekt in 2017 or rode the elevator in 2021 can still get itchy fingers when things heat up.
ETH is down 15.7% over the past 7 days. The Fear & Greed Index is just 28, with the weekly average also at 28, yet trading volume remains active. In times like these, what you're most likely to hear isn't mindless FOMO at the top, but “it's fallen so much—finally, my turn.” During the 2017 ICO mania and the 2021 NFT and shitcoin rallies, when greed was at its peak, nobody talked about stop-losses—only about what would pump next.
But don't mistake the institutional narrative for fuel this time. Deutsche Bank has already launched crypto custody services, allowing it to custody and transfer BTC, ETH, and some stablecoins for European institutions and companies. The business case makes sense: lower custody barriers could encourage big money to enter. But this affects banks, companies, and regulated capital; it doesn't mean there's suddenly new buying pressure for ETH.
Bitmine is more worth watching: the company holds about 6.07 million ETH, or 4.97% of the supply, and recorded a net loss of $6.3 billion in fiscal 2026, of which $6.2 billion came from unrealized losses on digital assets. It won't vanish just because of paper losses, but once leverage, financing, and market confidence come under scrutiny, holders will be the first to lose sleep.
So this isn't a call to short—it's just a warning not to repackage greed as conviction when the market rebounds. If open interest and funding rates are pumped up by leverage, the risk will spread from sentiment to liquidations. What's your mindset right now? Are you willing to buy this dip? Have you already hedged your risk?
