From an Ethereum perspective, this means a massive dump of 550,000 ETH, which, according to him, means a substantial $880 million injection in \u201csell-side supply into the market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that this heavy selling volume is among the reasons behind the asset\u2019s drop below its first immediate support at $1,633. The other could be the behavior of ETF investors. As <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-etfs-set-another-anti-record-as-1-8b-leave-the-funds-weekly\/\">reported<\/a> earlier this weekend, those gaining exposure to Ethereum through the exchange-traded funds sold over $270 million during the week, as ETH dropped toward $1,500 for the first time in over a year.<\/p>\n<p>Citing URPD data, Martinez outlined the significance of the $1,583 level as a critical volume support. If ETH breaks below it, it would open a \u201cclear path for extended liquidations.\u201d He doubled down that Ethereum\u2019s asset risks falling to a new cycle low of somewhere between $1,237 and $1,089.<\/p>\n<p>ETH WHALES SELL $880 MILLION IN ONE WEEK<\/p>\n<p>Large-scale holders have offloaded roughly 550,000 ETH over the past week, injecting $880 million in sell-side supply into the market.<\/p>\n<p>This heavy selling volume has successfully pushed Ethereum below its immediate $1,633 support floor.\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2n4rVK4oTK\">https:\/\/t.co\/2n4rVK4oTK<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7g1zSPepez\">pic.twitter.com\/7g1zSPepez<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ali Charts (@alicharts) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alicharts\/status\/2071179550885879897?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 28, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>Fellow analyst Ted Pillows <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TedPillows\/status\/2071164451374416112\">commented<\/a> that ETH remains stuck between key support (at $1,500) and resistance (at $1,700). A breakout above the latter would be \u201cwhat bulls need,\u201d while a potential decisive drop below $1,500 is \u201cwhat bears are pushing for a new cycle low.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Who Is Buying<\/h2>\n<p>On the flipside, the two largest corporate holders of Ethereum are accumulating.

Lookonchain <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/lookonchain\/status\/2071032675025199335\">noted<\/a> earlier today that the company accumulated another 29,196 ETH for $46.7 million.
