Ethereum price just lost key support at $2,000 after several weeks of Steady downward pressure seen in crypto market. As the price continues to fall, on-chain data attributes this decline to continued substantial selling pressure from large and small investors.
Big wallets turn bearish on Ethereum
Given the increased volatility in market conditions, the price of Ethereum Selling pressure has increased as investors gradually reduce their exposure. This renewed commercial activity is cited among the major holders considered to be whales and sharks.
Joao Wedson, market expert and verified author, reported as whales and sharks begin to distribute their positions aggressively. Large holders are gradually reintroducing ETH into circulation, which often indicates lower conviction or strategic risk reduction during irregular market periods.
This behavior can have an outsized effect because distribution from large wallets increases accessible supply and affects price dynamics. Furthermore, the expert said that this trend raises the question of whether it is simply a movement towards cryptocurrency exchange reserves. However, the ideal answer remains no.
Crypto exchange reservesaccording to recent data, remain relatively stable, which excludes this hypothesis. According to Wedson, this is not an operational transfer, but rather real sales activity on the part of the investors. Currently, entities with large ETH holdings are constantly reducing their exposure and putting direct pressure on the altcoin’s price.
In the meantime, the outcome of the current pattern is clear, which includes gradual capitulation, cascading liquidationsand dominant selling pressure. Wedson emphasized that this type of decision does not come from retailers. On the contrary, it often starts at the top of the structure, with actors controlling large volumes.
However, when this happens, the market does not let go of the distraction. Accordingly, the expert urged holders to protect their capital by looking for alpha signals and not narratives.
