Ethereum Whale Faces Liquidation, ETH Price Nosedive

Ethereum Whale Faces Liquidation as Prices Dip

A prominent Ethereum whale is nearing liquidation due to the ongoing decline in ETH prices. The whale deposited 12,374 ETH into Compound and borrowed $31.4 million in stablecoins. If Ethereum's price falls to $2,984, the whale's long positions will be liquidated.

Ethereum is currently trading at $3,124, down from $3,500 earlier this week. The 10.42% decline since Monday has raised concerns about the whale's potential liquidation. The situation worsened on with a 3.03% drop, followed by a slight rise and another 3.09% decline.

Crypto Market Volatility

The market turmoil has seen significant activity among large holders. Another whale recently purchased 9,425 ETH worth over $30 million from Binance. This wallet also made significant altcoin purchases, totaling $120 million.

The acquisition included BNB, MATIC, LINK, AVAX, and meme coins like Shiba Inu, Dogecoin, Pepe Coin, and Floki. The ETH purchase was the largest transaction.

Ethereum's price drop follows Bitcoin's recent decline. Sales from major players and miners have driven Bitcoin lower since Monday. Analyst Charles Edwards has observed increased selling by long-term Bitcoin holders.

Glassnode data indicates a 374,000 Bitcoin negative flow, representing approximately $24 billion worth of Bitcoin being sold. Additionally, the U.S. and German governments have sold large amounts of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
