Ether’s future depends on network upgrades, usage growth, supply decline, and improved layer-2 interoperability.
Ether (ETH) price dropped below $2,600 on Feb. 24 and has since struggled to sustain a meaningful recovery. The latest correction toward the $2,000 level triggered over $918 million in leveraged long (bull) liquidations in ETH futures within 15 days, according to CoinGlass data.
Traders now question what needs to happen for ETH to break above $2,500.
