$ETH is up +4.13% from the Oct 8 low at $2,407.08, now trading at $2,506.39 If you had longed it at the Oct 8 low with $100k at 10x, you'd be up +$41,257 right now Why it moved Leverage got hit first. CoinDesk on Oct 9 put about 356 million USD in ether liquidations over 24 hours inside a roughly 1.19 billion USD crypto flush, more damage than bitcoin in absolute terms and about six times worse relative to market size. Fund demand stayed soft through the bounce. TokenPost on Oct 9 said spot Ether ETFs logged about 72.5 million USD net outflows on Oct 8, with BlackRock ETHA about 71.1 million USD of that, extending an eight-day streak and pushing October Ether ETF outflows near 580 million USD. One large book also printed. Oct 9 coverage citing Lookonchain said an unidentified whale had about 28,716 ETH liquidated near 69.7 million USD while still holding or rebuilding a larger long near 78,955 ETH, around 196 million USD. What I'm watching next Above: the 24h high at $2,569.16, then the Oct 2 high at $2,769.29. Below: the $2,407.08 base from Oct 8. Most people only see Ether after the flush and the bounce. The liquidation tape and the eight-day ETF streak were already public while price was still sitting on that low. Still watching from the sidelines? Every move in this post was there for anyone looking early. Stop reading recaps after the pump. Join before it's too late: t.me/+Z3NwL0DSnmk0ZjI0
