Ethereum continues to struggle to reclaim the $2,000 level as persistent 
selling pressure and elevated volatility weigh on market sentiment. Repeated 
attempts to push higher have met resistance, reflecting cautious positioning 
among traders and broader uncertainty across the crypto market. While 
fluctuations around key psychological levels are common during corrective 
phases, the current environment suggests ongoing fragility, with liquidity 
conditions and derivatives positioning playing a growing role in short-term 
price dynamics. Related Reading: Liquidity Or Liability? History’s Hard 
Lessons For The XRP Momentum Play Adding to the pressure, recent on-chain data 
from Arkham indicates that a major market participant — commonly referred to 
as the Hyperunit whale — has reportedly sold roughly half a billion dollars 
worth of ETH. Large transactions of this magnitude tend to attract significant 
market attention, as they can influence liquidity conditions, sentiment, and 
short-term volatility, even when not directly triggering sustained price 
declines. Such movements do not automatically signal a broader market 
reversal, but they often reflect strategic repositioning by large holders amid 
uncertain conditions. Historically, similar episodes have coincided with 
transitional phases, where markets reassess direction following periods of 
strong trends. Hyperunit Whale Rotation Adds Context To Ethereum Market 
Pressure Additional data from Arkham provides further context on the large ETH 
transaction recently observed on-chain. The entity often referred to as the 
“Hyperunit whale” is believed to be a major Bitcoin holder, likely of Chinese 
origin, whose wallets accumulated more than 100,000 BTC during early 2018, 
when those holdings were valued near $650 million. For several years, the 
strategy appeared straightforward: accumulate Bitcoin and maintain a long-term 
holding position, with over 90% of those coins reportedly untouched for 
roughly seven years. At the peak of its on-chain exposure, Arkham estimates 
the whale controlled approximately $11.14 billion worth of BTC. However, in 
August 2025, around 39,738 BTC — valued near $4.49 billion at the time — were 
reportedly transferred in a move interpreted as a rotation into Ethereum. 
Subsequent accumulation brought total ETH holdings to roughly 886,000 coins, 
valued at over $4 billion during that period. Since that shift, performance 
appears to have weakened. Estimates suggest approximately $3.7 billion in 
losses tied to leveraged ETH exposure and combined BTC/ETH spot holdings, 
alongside roughly $1.2 billion in unrealized losses on staked ETH. In 
aggregate, Arkham data indicate a drawdown approaching $5 billion from peak 
portfolio levels. Related Reading: Bitcoin BCMI Drops Toward Bear Market 
Territory: How Close Is BTC To A Real Buy Zone? Ethereum Price Holds As 
Downtrend Pressure Persists Ethereum price action continues to reflect 
sustained weakness, with the chart showing a clear sequence of lower highs 
since the late-2025 peak above the $4,000 region. The recent decline toward 
the $2,000 psychological level highlights persistent selling pressure, while 
the inability to generate a strong rebound suggests buyers remain cautious 
despite oversold conditions. Technically, ETH is trading below its key moving 
averages, which are now trending downward — a configuration typically 
associated with bearish momentum rather than a temporary correction. The 
breakdown below the mid-range consolidation seen late last year accelerated 
downside volatility, accompanied by a noticeable spike in trading volume. Such 
volume expansions often signal capitulation or forced deleveraging, rather 
than routine profit-taking. Related Reading: Ethereum Derivatives Reset Raises 
Questions About Next Price Move: What Happens Next? The current stabilization 
around the $1,900–$2,000 zone may represent an early attempt to form a short- 
term base, but confirmation would require sustained closes above nearby 
resistance levels, particularly the $2,200–$2,400 range, where prior support 
has turned into resistance. Until that occurs, upside attempts risk being 
corrective bounces within a broader downtrend. From a structural perspective, 
maintaining the $2,000 area is important for sentiment, while a decisive break 
lower could open the door to deeper retracement toward historical support 
zones. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com
