The Bank of Japan's rate cut expectations continue to ferment, and market sentiment is notably volatile. Mainstream cryptocurrencies like $ZEC, $SHIB, and $ETH have recently come under pressure, especially Ethereum, which has experienced a significant decline—how much further can it fall?



From a technical perspective, ETH's support levels are being broken one by one, making it difficult to identify a clear bottom in the short term. Liquidity tightening during the rate hike cycle remains a suppressing factor, and if Japan actually initiates a rate cut, it could further stimulate the re-pricing of risk assets.

Many large investors are quietly adjusting their positions during this period, and the market focus is shifting—will policy changes lead to bottom-fishing, or is there still room on the technical side? Who is bottom-fishing and who is cutting losses in this wave of adjustment? The key to the subsequent trend lies here.
ZEC-0.03%
SHIB-1.63%
ETH0.11%

ETH is really tough this time, support levels are dropping one after another, I don't even have the confidence to add to my position anymore. Major investors are starting to move quietly, which shows they are also uncertain. If Japan's interest rate cut really materializes, this price might need to be tested again.

The Bank of Japan's recent moves feel like they're digging a hole for the market... The decline in ETH really seems endless, with big players all selling. I'm honestly a bit panicked.

The Bank of Japan's move was well played, directly smashing through ETH. Big players are probably laughing secretly now, this is the art of gambling. --- Support levels are collapsing one after another, and I'm still waiting for a clear bottom, but there's nothing. This is too extreme. --- Expectations of interest rate cuts are already this bad, if they actually start cutting rates, it would cause chaos. Who dares to buy the dip is basically a living Buddha. --- Big players are quietly adjusting their positions, while retail investors are still sitting here waiting for death. Can we still play this game? --- Policy vs. technical analysis, it's really hard to say which will win. It feels like they’re fighting each other, in the end, it all depends on who can hold out until the last. --- ZEC, SHIB, ETH all falling together, what will be left after this drop? I really haven't figured out where the bottom is.

Liquidity vampires are back again, and the logic of support levels being broken is similar to re-entrancy attacks—layer by layer exploitation until there are no defenses left. It's quite interesting.

The big players' moves this time are indeed interesting, everyone is waiting for policy signals. It's either the Bank of Japan or liquidity; it feels like ETH still has room to drop. Wait for a bottom-fishing opportunity or go all-in directly—that's the real test. Anyone who dares to add positions at this time is truly a brave person. Where is the bottom? Honestly, no one knows right now; the technicals are collapsing like stocks.

The Bank of Japan's move really stirred up the market. ETH still has to go lower... support levels are breaking one after another, which looks a bit risky. What are the big players doing right now? Are they really bottom-fishing or building a fortress for the bears? That's the real trick. Will a policy reversal save the market? Honestly, it's a bit of a gamble... liquidity is still stuck there. Where is the bottom? I think we need to wait for signals. Any current buying feels like gambling. Small coins like ZEC are actually less affected. It's the big players like ETH that are bleeding out. The market logic is a bit hard to understand. When the rate cut actually happens, will risk assets rebound? I bet they will, but only if we survive this downward move first.
