ETH Clause 3343: Critical Threshold for Exchange Settlement Risk

LayerZeroHero · 2026-01-31T15:13:26+00:00

Ethereum is currently priced at $2,540, with two key liquidation trigger points: breaking above $3,343 could lead to $1.102 billion in short liquidations, while dropping back to $3,041 may trigger $790 million in long liquidations. These levels are the stop-loss points for both bullish and bearish sides in the market. When reached, they could cause significant price volatility, so traders should pay attention to risk management.

Currently, Ethereum is priced around $2,540, but according to on-chain data analysis from Coinglass, there are two key liquidation trigger points in the market. If ETH’s subsequent movement breaks above the critical level of $3,343, the total liquidation scale facing major mainstream CEXs’ short positions could reach $1.102 billion, known as the “3343 Clause” risk. Conversely, if the price falls back below $3,041, the liquidation scale for long positions could also reach $790 million.

These two price points represent the most concentrated stop-loss and liquidation levels for both bulls and bears in the current market. In volatile conditions, reaching either point could trigger a chain reaction of liquidations in the short term, further pushing the price toward extreme directions, forming a “liquidation stampede.” For traders, understanding these key levels is crucial for risk management.
