RT☁777 Daily Analysis
1.26 ETH completely underperformed! The 2950 level was directly broken, over 8 billion in orders set off mines, the deflation myth shattered into pieces, and L2 is still aggressively draining liquidity from the mainnet.

On 2026.1.26, ETH’s weakness was etched into its bones. The current price is $2949, down 0.6% in 24h, breaking the critical 2950 level without resistance. The overall crypto market remains stable, BTC consolidates, SOL oscillates higher, but ETH can’t even hold a whole number level. The problem of not following the market up or down is beyond saving! Even worse, CoinGlass’s solid data shows: as soon as ETH drops below $2808, over $803 million in long positions on major CEXes are directly liquidated. When this bomb explodes, retail investors will face another bloodbath!
Who still believes in ETH’s deflation myth? The 0.8% annualized inflation is a done deal. The so-called “ultrasound money” has long become a joke! The issuance increase from PoS staking directly surpasses Gas token burns. On-chain transactions are cold, Gas fees have fallen to nearly zero, with no basis for burning. Yet the community still insists on deflation—pure self-deception!
The L2 ecosystem, which has been hyped for over half a year, is just a false proposition that drains liquidity from the mainnet! Blob storage cuts L2 costs by 90%, but institutions have invested $140 million into L2, with 90% bypassing ETH mainnet to flow into compliant Optimism. Even the once top Arbitrum has been overtaken. The mainnet has become a cash machine for L2, with daily active users and transaction volume continuously declining. Low Gas fees are not a good sign but a cover-up for no trading activity!
Institutions are also voting with their feet, stepping on ETH! Last week, BTC ETF saw a net inflow of $1.42 billion, SOL ETF also received a steady inflow of $46.88 million, but ETH-related trusts and ETFs only saw a little over $200 million inflow—less than a fraction of BTC. In the eyes of institutions, ETH is now barely even touching SOL’s edge. The so-called number one public chain has long become just a corner piece in institutional portfolios!
The worst hit are retail investors, fooled by pseudo-analysts into bottom-fishing at the 2950 level, unaware that the $2808 level below is a liquidation minefield for over $800 million in orders. Major players have long set up short positions, waiting for retail to take the bait. Behind the positive funding rates, it’s all a scheme for the big players to sell off aggressively while retail buys in!
Stop dreaming! ETH is now in a weak pattern of falling every time it rises. If it can’t hold 2950, the $8 billion liquidation mine at 2808 is right in front of you. Bottom-fishing ETH is like grabbing a flying knife. Holding on blindly will only lead to repeated liquidation. Anyone who touches this trend will be unlucky!
Do you dare to bottom-fish ETH? Do you think the liquidation mine at 2808 will blow up?
