Ether Fell 7% in 15 Minutes, Then Rebounded (Nov 2026)
Ether dropped from $2,222 to $2,060 in one 15-minute candle on Sunday, November 8, 2026, as weekend headlines set off a crypto liquidation wave, then bounced to $2,168 within 90 minutes. Replay it in 15-minute steps.
Ether spent Sunday evening, November 8, in a tight band between $2,221 and $2,232 on Binance, with roughly 4,000 to 16,000 trades in each quarter-hour. Nvidia's board had just announced an investigation into its CEO, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had said talks with Iran were not progressing.
At 21:45 UTC the floor gave way. The candle opened at $2,222.33, fell as low as $2,060, a drop of 7.3%, and closed at $2,127.38, on 283,449 trades. Bitcoin slid in the same minutes to $73,510, and more than $1 billion of leveraged crypto positions were liquidated over 24 hours, most of them longs, so much of the move was forced selling.
Ether recovered faster than it fell. The next hour held between $2,100 and $2,140, and the 23:00 and 23:15 UTC candles pushed it to $2,168.35, more than $100 above the low. The bounce stopped there: by 23:45 UTC it was back at $2,127, and on Monday it traded mostly between $2,083 and $2,152.
Replay the flush to compare ether with bitcoin's move in the same quarter-hour: the larger percentage drop in ether, with its thinner order book, is typical of a liquidation cascade, and so is the long wick that leaves the low untouched for the rest of the week.
