The Ethereum market just witnessed two massive whales offload 178,080 ETH ($528M) in strategic sell-offs—despite a broader trend of accumulation. Here’s what’s happening and what it means for ETH’s next move.
🐋 WHALE #1: TREND RESEARCH (PROFIT TAKING IN FULL EFFECT)
Accumulated: 184,115 ETH ($390M) at $2,118 avg (Feb 26 – Jun 20) 4
Recent Dump: Sold 79,470 ETH ($250M) at $3,145 avg (48% profit)
Still Holds: 105,664 ETH ($354M)
Strategy: Partial profit-taking while maintaining long-term exposure.
🐳 WHALE #2: $30M WINNER CASHES OUT
Accumulated: 132,536 ETH ($333.79M) at $2,518 avg (Jun 11 – Jun 22) 5
Recent Dump: Sold 98,610 ETH ($278M) at $2,819 avg (12% profit)
Still Holds: 35,022 ETH ($117.5M)
Strategy: Phased selling over 8 days, likely hedging against volatility.
📉 MARKET IMPACT: BULLISH OR BEARISH?
✅ Bull Case:
Whales retain large holdings, signaling long-term confidence.
ETH price remains resilient (trading ~$3,200) despite sell pressure.
Institutional interest persists—$374M in ETH moved recently suggests liquidity rotation 9.
⚠️ Bear Case:
Short-term resistance at $3,500 grows stronger (see whale liquidation zones) 3.
If more whales follow suit, supply shock could trigger a deeper correction.
Macro uncertainty (Fed rates, China-Iran deals) may dampen momentum.
🔮 WHAT’S NEXT FOR ETH?
Key Support: $3,000 (psychological level)
Key Resistance: $3,500 (liquidation magnet)
Watch For:
More whale movements (accumulation vs. distribution).
ETF flows & staking trends.
Bitcoin’s dominance—if BTC rallies, ETH could lag.
💡 TRADER TAKEAWAYS
