ETH price was on track to conclude the first 7 days of 2024 on a bullish trend. Especially after price pulled back since mid-December in a natural post-rally retracement.
ETH experienced a flash crash during which it lost roughly 8.3% on Tuesday’s trading session. Closer investigation into the crash reveals that it may have been a liquidity shakedown.
However, the crash on Tuesday undid the previously achieved gains. The large pullback had all the makings of a liquidity shakedown.
For example, whale activity demonstrated outflows since late December and well into the first week of January despite the price uptick.
