An attacker exploited KelpDAO, draining 116,500 rsETH worth roughly $292 million and depositing it into Aave to borrow ETH, sparking bad debt on the protocol while whales scramble to withdraw their ETH holdings, pushing the ETH utilization rate to a critical 100% threshold in this latest blow to DeFi stability reminiscent of last year's KelpDAO exploit details and Aave bad debt incidents.

On the 4-hour ETH chart, price action at $2347.29 clings to a bullish structure with the EMA50 at $2313.6 acting as immediate support and the EMA200 at $2187.35 providing a deeper floor, but the MACD's bearish death cross at 13.82 signals weakening momentum even as RSI hovers neutral at 49.34; volatility remains contained inside Bollinger Bands, with upper resistance at $2433.88 capping upside and lower support at $2297.82 offering a potential bounce zone, setting up a probable test of that EMA50 before any resumption in the broader uptrend amid rising ETH utilization rate impacts and ETH price prediction uncertainties, especially with whispers of RaveDAO innovations potentially influencing liquid staking dynamics.
