Ethereum (ETH) recently hit a new all-time high of over $4,900 before undergoing an amendment. As of now, assets are trading at $4,520, reflecting an 8.9% pullback from the peak, but up 7.6% last week.

The move follows a strong upward momentum over the next few weeks that returned ETH to an invisible price level since the 2021 Bull Cycle. While Ethereum’s long-term trend continues to rise, analysts are considering short-term patterns to explain the current volatility of the market.

One such perspective comes from Xwin Research Japan, a contributor to Cryptoquant’s Quicktake platform, and highlights how the liquidation cycle is repeated, especially the ETH price action early every week.

Ethereum’s “Monday Trap” and the risk of excessive leverage

Analysis shows that the markets utilized by Ethereum show a recurring rhythm associated with liquidation events. Taking advantage of long positions, betting that prices will continue to rise, often getting caught up in a sudden reversal, forcing liquidation that amplifies downward movement.

In April and June 2025, ETH saw a long liquidation of more than 300,000 ETH in a day, as a sharp decline caused the sale of Cascade. Xwin Research Japan pointed out an impressive weekly pattern. Monday consistently showed the highest liquidation volume, followed by Sunday and Friday.

In contrast, Saturday will likely record the lowest due to a decline in market activity. Often referred to as “Monday Trap,” this cycle suggests that traders carrying leveraged positions from the weekend are particularly vulnerable when institutional and retail streams reenter early in the week.

“It’s dangerous to bring weekend optimism to Monday’s massive sessions,” the analyst observed, emphasizing that short-term leverage will increase losses in a predictable way.

For long-term investors, this cycle is not about price direction, but about understanding the risks of excessive leverage in highly liquid markets.

Technology level and broader market outlook

From a technical standpoint, Ethereum price adjustments are being closely monitored. Market analysts recently known as Crypto Patel Posted At X, its ETH has been raised from $4,957 to $4,400, focusing on $3,900-$4,000 as a strong support zone.

According to Patel, keeping this level could pave the way for a higher price range of $6,000-8,000. However, if the support is damaged, a $3,500 or $3,200 minus side level is still possible.

The interaction between utilized liquidation and key technical support levels may define the trajectory of Ethereum in the coming months. Historical data shows that large outflows from exchanges often precede sustained gatherings, while inflows indicate normal sales pressure.

BNB breakout to retest $700

On Friday, BNB fell to $640 support as it didn’t hold the middle of the local price range zone. Cryptocurrency is trading in the price range of $630-$690 after regaining its $600 barrier last month.

During the breakout in May, BNB approached a significant $700 resistance level, reaching a four-month high of 697. This important level was lost during the pullback in early 2025, pushing the Altcoin price towards its all-time high (ATH) of $788 after it broke in late 2024.

Currently, cryptocurrency is seeking to recover the region as a support to continue price recovery. The Analyst Carl Runefelt from The Moon Show noted that BNB displays a month’s descent triangle pattern in the daily time frame, with prices compressing between support and resistance levels.

According to the charts, formation support is at a level of $635 and the downhill resistance is centered around the $650 area. To Runefelt, a bullish breakout from this pattern could drive 10% tokens towards $700 resistance.

In particular, by collecting and verifying this critical area as support, you can also send the BNB price to another important horizontal level.

Analyst Crypto Batman recently highlighted that BNB has “strongly held” near the uptrend line after continuing to bounce from its support zone of $635 to $640.

For market watchers, “Even with market uncertainty, the BNB structure is clean after respecting trendlines and bounces back key support. We are currently focusing on breakouts that exceed $700.

Is there a move towards $800?

Crypto Batman also said that cryptocurrencies may follow the same price action as last year. He asserted that Altcoin’s prices “love the key zone testing before the lift-off,” adding that it displays the same base form as in the third quarter of 2024.

Last year, the token formed a three-month base centered around the $460-$470 area, leading to a “explosive” run over the coming months. This year, BNB formed a similar base near the $550 level, “showing strength again.”

For analysts, “Permanence benefits us when the pattern repeats.” Furthermore, he pointed out that despite the early April retrace, BNB is holding the macro range and trading multi-time-tested support beyond the low range.

Cryptocurrency is currently consolidated near the medium zone and could drive prices to retest the height of macro ranges around the $729 mark. He explained, “If we see a breakout that surpasses the $729 resistance, it could pave the way for a 50% rise.”

Analysts confirmed that the BNB structure remains bullish as long as the cryptocurrency holds the $490-$500 level, adding that the $600 mark is also strong support.

At the time of writing, BNB is trading at $641, a 2.9% decrease in weekly time slots.
