As Ethereum approaches a key support zone, whale movements have been detected, raising market tensions once again.

According to crypto media outlet Finbold on April 28 (local time), Ethereum is facing potential additional selling pressure due to increased inflows from large investors to exchanges. Blockchain data indicates 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 selling signal in the market. This is because when assets move to centralized exchanges, the likelihood of selling to secure liquidity increases. Although actual sales have not been confirmed, the volume and speed of transactions are stimulating investor caution.

On-chain indicators suggest entry into a critical juncture. According to 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 potential for whale selling and the strength of the support line.

The current price is approximately $2,274, down about 2% over the last 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 mid-to-long-term bearish trend. The Relative Strength Index is at 52.74, in a neutral zone, suggesting a lack of strong directional conviction.
