Oh, Ethereum, you fickle beast! Your native token has taken a nosedive harder than a banana peel on a marble floor, plummeting to just over $2,000 today-your lowest point since the last time someone said, “Crypto is the future!” (Which was, like, yesterday.)
Since its monthly high of $2,425, it’s dropped 17%, faster than a Mel Brooks punchline. Santiment Intelligence thinks this could be the setup for a hilarious trend reversal, but right now, the market’s about as exciting as a tax audit. Yawn.
More Trouble? You Bet Your Blockchain!
After being stopped at $2,400, $2,300, $2,200, and $2,100 (because why not?), the $2,050 support level finally said, “Enough!” and gave in. According to Ted Pillows (yes, that’s his name), this opens the door for corrections deeper than a philosopher’s thoughts. And if ETH loses the $2,000 support? New lows are just a matter of time-or a bad joke away.
Meanwhile, CW (not the TV network) noted that ETH longs were liquidated faster than a bad sitcom. CoinGlass data shows $250 million in liquidated ETH longs daily-second only to Bitcoin’s $380 million. High-leverage longs are getting wrecked, while bearish bets are closing. Market calmness? More like market coma.
During the decline, $ETH long positions were liquidated in large amounts. (Surprise, surprise.)
As short positions closed, Open Interest (OI) decreased, and the Net Position Delta increased. (Math? In my crypto?)
High-leverage long positions are being liquidated, and bearish bets are closing. – CW (@CW8900) May 23, 2026
OG Whale Returns: The Sequel No One Saw Coming
But fear not, Ethereum fans! The silver lining is as shiny as a Brooks comedy: an OG whale has returned, according to Lookonchain. This crypto legend, who once turned $7.58 into $34.2 million (a 376x return!), is back, scooping up $8 million worth of ETH at $2,050. Last time they sold? Above $2,850. Talk about timing!
As the market drops, another #EthereumOG who made $34.2M (376x return) is buying the dip on $ETH! (Because why not?)
10 years ago, this OG received 12,001 $ETH at just $7.58 each. (Back when ETH was cheaper than a latte.)
Over a year ago, they sold for 34.3M $USDC at $2,856, making $34.2M in profit – a 376x return. (Eat your heart out, Wall Street.)

So, will Ethereum bounce back, or is this just another chapter in the crypto comedy of errors? Stay tuned, folks-it’s sure to be a wild ride!
