As Ethereum approaches a key support zone, the movement of whale holdings has been detected, raising market tension once again.

According to the cryptocurrency specialized media Finbold on April 28 (local time), Ethereum (ETH) faces potential additional selling pressure due to increased inflows from large investors to exchanges. Blockchain data shows that two wallets associated with Galaxy Digital moved a total of 45,000 ETH, worth approximately $104 million, to Binance, Bybit, and OKX over about 15 hours.

Such large-scale movements are often interpreted as a sell signal in the market. This is because when assets move to centralized exchanges, the likelihood of selling to secure liquidity increases. While actual sales have not been confirmed, the scale and speed of the transactions are stimulating investor caution.

On-chain indicators suggest entry into a critical juncture. According to an analysis based on Glassnode data, Ethereum is trading within a key support zone between $2,277 and $1,980. This zone is considered an area where accumulation was concentrated in the past, forming a strong demand base.

If this zone is maintained, the price could consolidate or rebound, but a break below $1,980 could lead to increased downward pressure. The market equilibrium is currently being maintained between the possibility of whale selling and the strength of the support line.

The current price is approximately $2,274, down about 2% over 24 hours. While it remains above the 50-day simple moving average of $2,188, it stays below the 200-day average of $2,769, indicating a continued medium-to-long-term bearish trend. The Relative Strength Index is 52.74, placing it in a neutral zone with a lack of clear directional conviction.
