Ethereum Rebounds on Short Liquidations, But Can It Sustain Gains?

Ethereum's price has rebounded by 4-6% over the past 24 hours, reaching $1,725. This recovery is largely due to short liquidations, with crypto liquidations totaling $398M and ETH alone accounting for $187M of that figure.

The trigger for this bounce was a combination of macro relief and technical short covering, following Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's remarks on Wednesday and the release of June jobs data.

Analysts are now watching to see if this recovery has legs or is just a result of weak hands being squeezed out. The key level to watch is $1,734, with three scenarios possible: a clean break above this level could lead to further gains, while a close below $1,585 would undermine the recovery thesis.
