The ‘Black Monday’ stock market crash has adversely impacted the crypto markets; while the Bitcoin price plunged below $75,000, Ethereum lost $1500 after holding for more than 24 months. The panicked investors trigger a massive sell-off while the big whales have begun to liquidate massive amounts of ETH. This has set the stage for a huge descending trend, reviving the possibility of the beginning of a bear market.
In times of uncertainty, the whale movements have a massive impact on the upcoming price action. Interestingly, these have been shedding out their holdings, creating more panic among the market participants. As per some reports, a whale got liquidated for 67,570 ETH, worth more than $106 million with ETH at $1,650.

Yet another whale who had held more than $22 million worth of ETH converts all his holdings into stablecoins. In the past few hours, this whale deposited more than 14,000 ETH into Binance and withdrew 15.5 million stablecoins. The whale had held the second-largest token for over 10 years and is now turning all the holdings into stablecoins, flashing a massive bearish signal or prudent hedging.
In the latest development, a whale with 220K ETH and over $340 million just repaid 3.52 million DAI and deposited 10,000 ETH, lowering the liquidation price to $1,119.3. If the price drops below the liquidation price, all 220,000 ETH will be liquidated, which raises huge alarms. Yet another whale is feared to liquidate more than 15,000 ETH if he fails to increase the collateral or repay the debt. On the other hand, the spot ETH ETF witnessed huge outflows of over 26,230 ETH worth over $50 million, substantiating the bearish claim.
The latest market dynamics have caused the ETH price to plunge below the support levels, which have been a strong base since 2020. Despite this, the bulls remain passive, suggesting a lack of confidence amid the growing uncertainty due to the global market conditions. After breaking the major support, the selling pressure does not appear to have settled; hence, it keeps the bearish possibilities alive.
As seen in the above weekly chart of ETH, the price is hedging towards the crucial support close to $1400, the 2018 highs, which may push the levels heavily down if broken. The weekly RSI has dropped to the lower threshold. Last time this happened was in 2022, which has dragged the levels below $900 from the highs above $4800. If the levels plunge below 30, a drop below $1000 could be imminent for the Ethereum (ETH) price.
