TL;DR<\/strong><\/p>\n

After weeks of consistent accumulation, Ethereum whales have changed the tune and have offloaded massive quantities of the second-largest cryptocurrency.
\nWith the overall weak market sentiment as of late, the question now arises whether the asset will fall toward and below the crucial $4,000 support.<\/p>\n

Whales Sell, Some Buy<\/h2>\n

Data shared by popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez shows that these large market participants have disposed of over 430,000 ETH in just the last two weeks, which is a stark contrast to their approach to Ethereum throughout most of July and August. From a USD perspective, this fortune is worth around $1.80 billion.<\/p>\n

Recall that they accumulated<\/a> almost the same amount just a few weeks ago, as ETH\u2019s price had dipped from over $4,800 to under $4,100. Just a few days later, the cryptocurrency skyrocketed to a fresh all-time high of $4,950 before it corrected once again to $4,250 amid the current sell-off.<\/p>\n

One particular whale, though, who has become known as a Bitcoin OG<\/a> in the crypto community over the past few weeks, remains unfazed by the current market sentiment. They continue to swap BTC for ETH with another $109 million transaction completed earlier today. In total, the whale has purchased roughly $3.4 billion worth of ETH while disposing of massive BTC quantities.<\/p>\n

Drop Below $4K?<\/h2>\n

Such massive sell-offs by whales could impact the underlying asset in a two-fold manner. First, they increase the immediate selling pressure. Second, their actions could be mimicked by smaller investors, which could have a snowball effect on the asset\u2019s price movements.<\/p>\n

As mentioned above, ETH dipped to $4,250 earlier today before it recovered some ground to regain $200. However, the danger still looms of a more profound correction that could push the asset to $4,000 for the first time since early August.<\/p>\n

Martinez indicated that this is the most significant support line for ETH\u2019s current market structure. If lost, though, the next stop<\/a> would likely be $3,800.<\/p>\n
