A recent Ethereum trader position highlighted this volatility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Arkham Intelligence, an Ethereum trader opened an $86.99 million ETH short position, with liquidation set at $2,172. Notably, the position emerged after headlines surrounding the ceasefire collapse and the U.S. cutting off a trade deal with Spain, adding further pressure to market sentiment.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_614831\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-614831\" style=\"width: 440px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-09-143252.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-614831 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-09-143252.png\" alt=\"Ethereum\" width=\"440\" height=\"140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-09-143252.png 440w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-09-143252-300x95.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-614831\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: X<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This suggests the position was likely a calculated bet on further downside rather than a random short.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding to the market uncertainty, Arkham Intelligence also flagged a wallet movement linked to Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, who transferred $1.6 million worth of ETH to a new wallet. The move sparked speculation that another sell-off could be coming, especially after recent ETH transfers from Vitalik.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the market already shifting back into risk-off mode, the combination of possible sell-side pressure and a large $80 million ETH short position has created a more cautious setup for bulls. The key question now is whether this short position is an early signal of a deeper <a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/predictions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ETH <\/a>breakdown or if bulls can defend key support levels and trigger a short squeeze.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Ethereum faces a critical support test as bearish pressure rises<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ethereum sits at the crossroads of bearish market conditions and a strong technical setup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While risk-off sentiment, rising short interest, and selling pressure support the bearish case, Ethereum is retesting the key $1,580 support level. This zone has <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alicharts\/status\/2074886477281169435\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">acted<\/a> as a major demand area over the past three years, triggering strong recoveries, including a +149% rally in October 2023 and a +203% in April 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For bulls, defending $1,580 is therefore critical to keeping the bullish structure intact. Adding to the support narrative, Tom Lee-linked Bitmine continues to accumulate ETH. According to Lookonchain, Bitmine purchased another 40,000 ETH worth around $71.6 million. At the same time, staked ETH supply has reached a new all-time high of over 40 million ETH, representing around 33% of total supply. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_614836\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-614836\" style=\"width: 1099px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-09-144703.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-614836 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-09-144703.png\" alt=\"ETH\" width=\"1099\" height=\"642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-09-144703.png 1099w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-09-144703-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-09-144703-1024x598.png 1024w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-09-144703-768x449.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1099px) 100vw, 1099px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-614836\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Validator Queue<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this accumulation, ETH\u2019s move above $1,750 looks more than just a short-term bounce.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, bulls appear to be stepping in despite the broader risk-off environment, rising short interest, and market concerns around Vitalik\u2019s recent ETH transfer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this momentum continues, the $80 million short position could come under pressure, with liquidation risk building around $2.7k.
