Ethereum Faces Whale Selling but May Consolidate Near Key Support Ahead of Potential Breakout

Ethereum has demonstrated remarkable resilience by withstanding over $2.5 billion in whale selling, maintaining price stability through robust investor support between $2,344 and $2,421.

• Despite bearish pressures, Ethereums price is consolidating near the $2,424 level, positioning itself for a potential breakout if it can convert the $2,476 resistance into a new support level.
• According to COINOTAG sources, the demand zone formed by 65.83 million ETH creates a strong cushion, significantly reducing the likelihood of a price drop below $2,344 unless broader market conditions deteriorate sharply.

Ethereum Whales Move To Sell Amid Market Uncertainty

Recent data reveals that large Ethereum holders, often referred to as whales, have begun liquidating significant portions of their holdings. In the past 48 hours, addresses controlling between 1 million and 10 million ETH offloaded over 1.06 million ETH, equivalent to roughly $2.57 billion. This wave of selling typically signals bearish sentiment and can exert downward pressure on price movements.

However, Ethereums price stability in the face of such substantial selling indicates a resilient market structure. The ability of ETH to hold firm despite this pressure suggests that underlying demand remains strong, supported by investors who acquired their positions within a critical price range.

Further analysis using the IOMAP (In/Out of the Money Around Price) model highlights a significant demand zone encompassing 65.83 million ETH, valued at over $159 billion. These tokens were primarily purchased between $2,349 and $2,421, establishing a formidable support level. Investors within this range are unlikely to sell at a loss or break-even, reinforcing the price floor and limiting downside risk.

This demand zone acts as a buffer against sharp price declines, providing a foundation for Ethereums price to remain stable amid selling pressure. Consequently, a drop below $2,344 appears improbable unless exacerbated by adverse macroeconomic or market-wide conditions.

ETH Price Consolidation Signals Potential Breakout

Ethereum is currently trading around $2,424, just shy of the critical resistance at $2,476. This price action reflects a consolidation phase following a nearly three-week downtrend, suggesting a market pause as investors digest recent movements.

Such consolidation often precedes significant price action. If Ethereum can successfully flip the $2,476 resistance into support, it may trigger a bullish breakout, potentially driving the price toward $2,606. This level would represent a notable recovery and could attract renewed buying interest from traders and investors alike.

Conversely, should broader market sentiment deteriorate sharply, Ethereum risks breaking below the $2,344 support level. A sustained drop beneath this threshold could lead to further declines, with $2,205 emerging as the next significant support. Such a scenario would invalidate the current bullish outlook and potentially usher in a more pronounced bearish phase.
