Ethereum (ETH) has experienced a 13.6% drop due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, with a current price in the mid $2,200 range.
Despite this drop, Ethereum whales are showing confidence in the digital asset's long-term recovery and are not selling off their holdings.
Past data indicated that spikes in ETH withdrawals from wallets led to price pullbacks, but current data shows no such spikes, indicating low exit activity among whales.
Crypto analyst Ted Pillows noted that whales holding 10,000 ETH or more added over $265 million worth of ETH during the recent market pullback.
If Ethereum fails to surpass the $2,350 resistance level soon, it could retest the $2,100 support, potentially falling further towards $1,800.
Some analysts suggest a bullish outlook with comparisons to the accumulation phase and a potential for Ethereum to reach five-figure prices in the long term.
However, other market experts warn of possible downtrend movement for Ethereum, with predictions of a significant drop to $900 by some analysts.
At present, ETH trades at $2,233, showing a 2.4% increase in the last 24 hours.
