Whale Alert: Confidence Crumbles as Big ETH Holders Dump Holdings

Recent data reveal Ethereum whales' unrealized profit ratio has fallen to bear-market-like levels, suggesting lower confidence in the market and possible selling pressure. This is once again demonstrated by massive ETH dumping to exchanges as well as cases of whales using leverage up to short. Although the Ethereum price has seen unprecedented volatility and pushed to record levels of support, there are always some optimistic analysts who look towards Q1 2025 heading in an upward direction, looking for possible price appreciation despite the present bearish sentiment among whale investors.

ETF Rollercoaster: Inflows and Outflows Signal Investor Uncertainty

Ethereum ETFs experienced rollercoaster flows during the last decade, with inflows and outflows in various funds being observed. On February 28, 2025, a net outflow of $41.9 million was observed, with March 3, 2025, recording a $12.1 million net outflow headed by ETHA. However, on March 4, 2025, the market reversed as there was a net inflow of $14.6 million due to huge investments in FETH, ETHE, and ETH, even as there was an outflow of $26.3 million in ETHA, which rolled over to March 5, 2025. This mixed trading indicates selective withdrawal and recasting by investors in the Ethereum ETF market.

Technical Analysis: Resistance and Support Levels for Ethereum

ETHUSD trades weak following the footsteps of BTC. Overall trend remains bearish as long as the resistance $3000 remains intact. The key near-term resistance is at $2300 any breach above targets is $2500/$2770/$3000/$3400/$3600/$3800/$4000. A robust bullish trend will only materialize above $4100.

It is good to buy on dips around $2000 with a stop loss of around $1800 for a TP of $2770.
