Since the second half of 2025, Ethereum's price has been on a continuous decline, dropping from nearly $4,900 to around $2,600. This wave of decline has undoubtedly dealt a blow to holders—data shows that, so far, unrealized losses have accumulated to approximately $3.5 billion.

From the data, this scale of loss is not insignificant. The book value of holders has shrunk significantly during this adjustment, reflecting the market's bearish outlook on Ethereum's recent trend. Of course, this also reminds us of how volatile the crypto market can be—prices can quickly fall from one level to another, and investors' risk exposure changes accordingly.

For investors still holding positions, the key now is whether Ethereum can find support at the current price levels. After all, to truly consider these unrealized losses as realized, it’s the moment to decide whether to buy the dip or cut losses.

Should I cut losses or hold on... $3.5 billion in unrealized losses sounds unbelievable Can 2600 really hold steady? It feels like it might go further down Taking losses is the hardest, but with losses like this, I really can't take it anymore Mainly, who can determine where the bottom is...

$3.5 billion unrealized loss, I wonder why I didn't get my share haha --- 4900 dropped to 2600, this move is really crazy, to cut or not to cut, that's the question --- Not that I haven't seen a market crash before, anyway, all the losses are on the books --- Where is the support level? I look at this broken line chart every day and it's making me sick --- Current holders are probably dreaming of a return to 4800 --- Let's wait and see if it can rebound, anyway, it's already a big loss --- Actually, everyone is just betting on whether Ethereum can hold its ground, there's no other way

4900 drops to 2600, this drop really is hard to withstand. Wait, is the 3.5 billion in unrealized losses really that much? Feels like the data might be inflated. The current issue is whether we can hold at 2600, otherwise more people will cut losses. Buying the dip or cutting losses, honestly, it's just throwing a tantrum. Now the coins in hand have shrunk again, wake up, everyone. Volatility is really unpredictable; today it drops, tomorrow it might rebound. Friends holding positions, keep going, it feels like the bottom isn't far away. At this price of over two thousand, it doesn't feel cheap anymore. This bear market came hard, and we might even need to dig more pits.

3.5 billion USD unrealized loss... This wave is really exhausting Dipping in or cutting losses, it all depends on who has a bigger heart Wait, is 2600 really the bottom? Who can say for sure The decline this time is indeed fierce, but isn't it also an opportunity to get in? Didn't expect it to fall this much, those who bought at the top really can't hold on anymore
