Ethereum Approaches Key Support As Whale Activity Signals Potential Market Shift

Ethereum’s price is approaching a long-term support level, with a potential bounce from the $2.2k mark offering a bullish outlook. However, recent whale activity suggests caution may be warranted.

Just 30 minutes ago, a whale or institutional address, inactive for the past 15 months, transferred all 10,281 ETH (worth approximately $24.7 million) to Coinbase, possibly preparing to liquidate. This ETH was primarily accumulated between 2022 and 2023 from exchanges like FTX US, Gemini, Coinbase, and Kraken at an average price of $1,504. Should the whale decide to sell, they stand to realize a significant profit of $9.23 million.

As Ethereum approaches this critical support level, the market is closely watching for any signs of a bounce. A rebound from $2.2k could trigger a bullish sentiment, but the recent whale activity and ETF outflows suggest that the market could remain volatile in the near term. Traders and investors will need to monitor these developments carefully as they could signal the next major move for Ethereum.
