The Ethereum price is hovering near a critical long-term zone as whales reshuffle billions of dollars in holdings, adding fresh uncertainty to an already fragile market. While price action remains weak in the short term, analysts say the asset has returned to a historical accumulation range.

Source: XRPUSD on Tradingview Ethereum Price Tests Long-Term Demand Zone Market analysts note that the Ethereum price has fallen back into a five-year demand area previously seen during the 2022–2023 bear market and the brief April 2025 crash. Historically, this range has attracted accumulation rather than distribution, suggesting long-term investors may be stepping in despite weak momentum. Currently, Ethereum trades around $1,828, down roughly 3.1% over the past 24 hours, with a market cap near $220 billion and elevated derivatives activity signaling continued volatility. Futures trading volume has exceeded $51 billion in a single day, while more than $100 million in leveraged positions were liquidated. Technically, ETH remains below key resistance levels. Price recently slipped under $1,900 and the 100-hour moving average, with analysts identifying $1,820 as immediate support and $1,900–$1,920 as a major resistance zone. A sustained break below support could expose downside targets near $1,780 or even $1,720. Whale Activity Signals Market Stress Large holders have played a major role in recent price pressure. One whale liquidated 7,200 ETH worth about $13.4 million at a loss exceeding $600,000 after exiting a position opened at higher prices. Another long-term holder sold nearly 23,924 ETH valued at over $45 million before opening leveraged long positions, indicating expectations of further short-term volatility. Meanwhile, a separate wallet transferred 12,000 ETH to a major exchange, potentially locking in losses exceeding $29 million if sold. Exchange inflows are often interpreted as potential sell signals because they increase market supply. Adding to the narrative, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has sold more than 8,800 ETH this month, though analysts say the transactions are tied to funding ecosystem development rather than a shift in long-term confidence. Institutions Accumulate Despite Weak Price Action While some whales reduce exposure, institutional players appear to be moving in the opposite direction. Mining and infrastructure firm BitMine Immersion Technologies recently acquired 51,162 ETH for its corporate treasury and continues expanding its holdings through staking strategies designed to generate yield. This divergence between insider selling, whale repositioning, and institutional accumulation reflects a market caught between short-term fear and long-term conviction.

Crypto lending has matured significantly, and borrowers today are looking beyond headline APRs. A 0% APR offer may sound straightforward, but in practice it is tied to specific loan structures, strict LTV conditions, and usage-based pricing models. Understanding these mechanics is essential for anyone borrowing against BTC, ETH, or diversified collateral. This review explains how 0% APR crypto loans work, why they are not universal, and how platforms structure their LTV thresholds, interest models, and repayment terms. Clapp is featured first because its credit-line structure makes 0% APR both transparent and achievable under defined conditions. Clapp — Usage-Based Interest With 0% APR on Unused Credit Clapp Credit Line is defined by flexibility. It is a revolving credit line where borrowers deposit crypto — BTC, ETH, SOL, or up to 19 supported assets — and receive a credit limit they can draw from when needed. Unused credit carries 0% APR when Loan to Value (LTV) is below 20%. Interest is charged only on the amount actually withdrawn, making borrowing more efficient than fixed loans where interest accrues immediately. This structure aligns cost directly with usage and allows borrowers to keep liquidity available without paying for idle capital. Clapp also combines several risk-oriented features: Real-time LTV monitoring Margin notifications before liquidation thresholds are reached Flexible repayment with no penalties Multi-asset collateral pools that stabilize LTV Institutional credit lines starting from 1% APR with negotiable LTV parameters Clapp’s model makes 0% APR on crypto loans realistic as long as the borrower maintains conservative LTV levels below 20% and uses only the liquidity required. Understanding LTV: The Real Driver of Cost and Liquidation Risk Loan-to-value (LTV) measures the ratio between borrowed capital and the value of collateral. It is the single most important variable in crypto lending. A borrower who deposits $40,000 in BTC and borrows $4,000 operates at 10% LTV — a conservative level. If BTC drops 20%, the LTV rises but remains manageable. Low LTV supports: safer borrowing, lower interest rates, and reduced liquidation risk. High LTV does the opposite. Even a moderate drawdown can push positions into critical territory. Platforms are transparent about LTV limits because they define lending cost and safety far more than APR does. Clapp’s margin notifications, multi-asset collateral support, and flexible repayment structure all exist to help borrowers maintain safe LTV levels during volatility. How Other Platforms Structure LTV, Terms, and Costs Below is an overview of how other major lenders approach LTV and APR. While features vary, one pattern is consistent: 0% APR rarely applies to borrowed balances. Nexo Nexo uses a credit-line model with tiered rates based on loyalty levels. Borrowers benefit from fast access and flexible terms, but 0% APR does not apply to borrowed funds. Rates drop only at low LTV and when holding NEXO tokens. Binance Loans Binance offers fixed-term loans with interest accruing immediately on the full borrowed amount. Borrowers gain access to a wide asset base, but 0% APR is not part of the structure, and LTV thresholds can shift in volatile markets. MakerDAO MakerDAO’s DAI vaults use collateral-backed debt positions. Borrowers pay stability fees instead of APR. Certain vaults can temporarily approach low or near-zero fees, but conditions vary, and borrowers must manage liquidation risk manually. Repayment Terms: The Hidden Cost Factor Borrowers often focus on APR, but repayment terms can be equally important. Fixed-term loans require regular payments and may include penalties for early repayment. This reduces the borrower’s ability to adjust LTV in response to market volatility. Clapp’s flexible repayment model allows borrowers to reduce exposure at any time. This makes liquidation management easier and transforms borrowing from a rigid obligation into an adjustable liquidity tool. Final Assessment 0% APR crypto loans exist, but only within conditional, risk-aware structures. Borrowers should evaluate: LTV requirements, how interest is applied, repayment flexibility, and liquidation protections. Clapp stands out for offering a transparent version of this model — 0% APR on unused credit, usage-based interest on withdrawals, multi-asset collateral, and real-time LTV tools. Other platforms offer competitive features, but none match this combination of flexibility and cost alignment. For users seeking safe, cost-efficient liquidity without selling their crypto, understanding LTV and borrowing structure is more important than the headline APR.

Summary With Bitcoin (BTC-USD) having breached the $100,000 level, Ethereum (ETH-USD) began a shocking move higher from $2,100 to $4,950, setting new records. It is typical to see corrections of 50% to 75% in this very volatile market, as seen in the 2013, 2018, and 2021 crashes. Following these huge corrections, barring systemic rewirings, there have been historic runs. Does crypto still have much more to correct? Knowing that they still stand at the extreme of the risk spectrum, potentially, yes. However, the real question is how much more. Here we take a look at the daily charts with technical levels for Bitcoin and Ethereum. By Elior Manier Cryptocurrencies haven't caught a break in the past four months. Risk appetite has taken a U-turn lower after a marvellous mid-2025. From the conclusion of the 12-day war to the layoffs fears in October, digital assets looked invincible. With Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) having breached the $100,000 level, Ethereum ( ETH-USD ) began a shocking move higher from $2,100 to $4,950, setting new records. Now, looking at these prices, it seems as if we were talking about some antique trends. But for those unaccustomed to the asset class, this is what crypto does. It stays dormant, makes you forget, then it builds momentum, and suddenly it explodes higher. After a while, everybody talks about crypto. Financial revolutions, new countries adopt them as their reserve currencies, and the end of the Fiat currency system as we know it: new records are forged, headlines come by the millions, grandmothers start buying, and suddenly it's all over. It is typical to see corrections of 50% to 75% in this very volatile market, as seen in the 2013, 2018, and 2021 crashes. It wipes out doubters, leveraged traders, and dodgy projects. But the dreams of higher levels are sensical. Following these huge corrections, barring systemic rewirings, there have been historic runs. A reminder that Bitcoin is still up 300% since its Summer 2022 bottom - compared with Nasdaq, which is up a (still impressive) 130% in the same period. The magnitude of moves in crypto is just that elevated, hence corrections tend to be quite brutal. Current Session in Cryptos - January 24, 2026 (10:11) (Source: FinViz) So is it soon over? To me, we are just entering a phase of broad market turmoil. Does crypto still have much more to correct? The entire space lost more than 50% of its valuation. It is now much less overbought than it was, but knowing that they still stand at the extreme of the risk spectrum, potentially, yes. However, the real question is how much more. Predicting a bottom is a rough task. Luckily, investors and traders don't need a crystal ball to make money. One potential strategy is to wait for key numbers to place small, progressive trades and investments. The last drop to $60,000 preceded a swift rebound the past few weeks, coinciding with a close to 50% retracement, and it is getting close again. Dip-buyers could also wait for $55,000; $50,000, and you get the idea for the rest. The most important thing is to make your own investment game plan, spread your entries, and avoid getting too scared by obsessively seeking certainty on the Internet when no one knows what's coming. That's how, eventually, when the bearish wave is gone, you will have caught some decent averages on your entries and can wait for better days to take profits or flex on those who threw the towel in. Let's dive right into the daily charts with technical levels for Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin (BTC) Daily Chart and Technical Levels Bitcoin (BTC) Daily Chart - February 24, 2026 (Source: TradingView) In the immediate situation, there are two scenarios emerging: Reaching the $60,000-63,000 key support, a double bottom could happen here and would give the hand to bulls for the time being. A slow grind lower around here would break recent lows and head to $55,000, which is the low of the bear channel and also coincides with the measured move target from the October high. This would provide interesting entry levels. Levels of Interest for BTC Trading: Support Levels $60,000-63,000 main 2024 support (testing) $59,935 February lows $52,000 to $58,000 next support and 200-week MA ($55,000 mid-point) $40,000 mid-2024 breakout support Resistance Levels $70,000 short-term momentum pivot $75,000 key long-term pivot (acting as resistance) $80,000-83,000 mini-resistance (50-Day MA) $90,000-95,000 pivotal resistance Current ATH resistance $124,000-126,000 Ethereum (ETH) Daily Chart and Technical Levels Ethereum (ETH) Daily Chart - February 24, 2026 (Source: TradingView) A rebound at immediate support ($1,700 to $1,800) would provide a strong hand to the bulls with a double bottom. A progressive drop would break support and head back towards the 2025 lows at around $1,500, which would coincide with channel lows and provide optimal entries. Levels of Interest for ETH Trading: Support Levels $1,700-1,800 pre-bounce 2025 key support (testing) $1,744 February 6 lows $1,380-1,500 2025 support 2025 lows $1,384 Resistance Levels $2,100-2,300 June war support now key pivot $2,500-2,700 June 2025 key support now resistance (channel highs) $3,000-3,200 major momentum pivot (test of the $3,000) $4,950 current new all-time highs Original Post Editor's Note: The summary bullets for this article were chosen by Seeking Alpha editors.
