In the last four days, Ethereum (ETH) has achieved significant double-digit gains, leading to a substantial impact on the liquidation volume. Ethereum’s daily time frame analysis indicated a significant increase, marking the second major rise of the year on February 12th.
Ethereum’s Rising Trends
Despite experiencing minor declines, Ethereum witnessed its third highest surge of the year on February 14th, exceeding a 5% increase and climbing above $2,776. The short moving average is also acting as a support level around $2,400. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) showed a strong uptrend. The RSI line positioned above 75 could indicate that ETH has entered the overbought zone.
The strength of the ongoing trend can also be confirmed by the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Moreover, the MACD lines were above zero, which may confirm the bullish trend indicated by the RSI. Following Ethereum’s price surge of over 6% on February 12th, an examination of the liquidation table on Coinglass revealed a significant liquidation of short positions.

On February 14th, there was a noticeable increase in short position liquidation volume over the last four days. The cryptocurrency’s charts show over $29 million in short position liquidations and approximately $4.4 million in short position liquidation volume.
