New reports indicate that the Ethereum (ETH) CrossX indicator is flashing strong buy signals, suggesting a potential breakout toward $4,000. As the market transitions from selling to buying, on-chain data shows that institutional investors are heavily accumulating ETH tokens, indicating a shift in sentiment. Institutions Load Up On ETH As Buy Signal Flashes On-chain analytics platform, Lookonchain, has identified a notable increase in Ethereum accumulation, largely driven by institutional whales. Over the course of three hours, a wallet address reportedly associated with the trading firm Cumberland DRW withdrew a staggering 27,632 ETH, worth approximately $50.24 million. This transfer was made from major exchanges, including Coinbase, Copper and Binance.

Notably, the receiving wallet, 0ex287AA111…, was consistently used across all transactions, suggesting coordinated accumulation rather than a typical trading activity. Historically, large-scale withdrawals from Ethereum exchanges have preceded price surges, as they significantly reduce sell-side liquidity and indicate a longer-term holding pattern by investors. Amid this growing institutional accumulation, the Ethereum CrossX Indicator, as noted by Ezy Bitcoin on X, has recently flashed a strong buy signal. This reinforces the notion that institutional interest is rising, signaling an increase in demand and potentially setting the stage for further upward price movement. Ethereum CrossX Indicator Suggests $4,000 Surge Ahead Shedding more light on Ezy Bitcoin’s report, the CrossX indicator, which officially triggered a buy signal for Ethereum, is signaling a potential surge above $4,000 for the altcoin’s price. The market expert highlights that this is the first signal seen in nearly six months and, historically, has often preceded significant price action and explosive moves.

As seen in the analyst’s weekly chart, previous buy signals were followed by rallies that took ETH to new local highs. Now, with Ethereum’s price rebounding off recent lows and a fresh Bullish Divergence in place, the same rally pattern may be unfolding again. If history repeats, ETH could be gearing up for a run beyond $3,000, with the possibility of testing the $4,200 range by year’s end. According to CoinMarketCap’s data, Ethereum is currently trading at $1,803, reflecting a yearly decline of 43.10%. A potential rise to $4,200 would represent a staggering 132.95% increase, bringing Ethereum (ETH) closer to its present all-time high of over $4,800.

The Ethereum price crash to $1,400 has shaken the crypto market, amplifying already volatile conditions. This dramatic price drop comes after a major ETH sell-off by US President Donald Trump’s World Liberty Finance, suggesting that the recent dump may have been a primary catalyst behind ETH’s price collapse. Blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain revealed on April 9 via X (formerly Twitter) that the wallet associated with World Liberty Finance, a decentralized finance protocol linked to Trump, recently dumped a significant amount of Ethereum. Interestingly, this sell-off came just before Ethereum’s price crash, raising the question of whether it contributed to the unexpected decline. Donald Trump‘s World Liberty Finance Dumps ETH Launched in 2024, World Liberty Finance is Trump’s controversial digital asset firm designed to rival centralized banking and facilitate the adoption of stablecoins. According to data from Lookonchain, Trump’s World Liberty Finance, which was previously accumulating Ethereum at a low price, is now selling off a large chunk of its holding at a steep loss.

Lookonchain flagged the transaction, noting that the wallet linked to World Liberty Finance had offloaded 5,471 ETH tokens worth roughly $8.01 million. The sell-off was executed at a price of $1,465 per ETH, a significant drop from its previous value of over $1,600. Notably, World Liberty Finance’s ETH sell-off move has raised eyebrows across the crypto community. It appears to mark a shift in strategy for a player who was previously known for large-scale ETH accumulation. According to Lookonchain, the wallet address linked to World Liberty Finance had accumulated a total of 67,498 ETH at an average price of $3,259. This means that the decentralized finance protocol spent a total of $210 million to amass such a large amount of ETH. At its sell-off price, this leaves the entity sitting on a staggering unrealized loss of around $125 million. The recent sell-off also adds more fuel to the growing uncertainty surrounding Ethereum’s future outlook, as the cryptocurrency’s recent price crash has sparked even more bearish predictions of continued decline. Although the reason behind World Liberty Finance’s unexpected ETH sell-off remains unclear, some believe that the dump was likely triggered by Ethereum’s ongoing price decline, while others suggest it could signal a market bottom. Ethereum Price Crash To $1,400 Ethereum’s price decline to $1,400 came as a shock to the market, making it the first time the cryptocurrency had fallen so low in seven years. Notably, Ethereum was not the only leading cryptocurrency that was affected by the market turmoil, as big players like Bitcoin also suffered losses.

Although this recovery brings hope of a rebound, the cryptocurrency’s value has still dropped by 16.63% over the past month. Moreover, technical indicators from CoinCodex highlight that sentiment surrounding the cryptocurrency is still deeply bearish, suggesting that further declines could be on the horizon.

An Ethereum whale has dumped its ETH holdings after holding them for over two years, even through a bull market. This capitulation from the ETH whale suggests it might be a good time to offload the leading altcoin, with a further crash in the coming weeks a possibility. Ethereum Whale Dumps 10,000 ETH After 900 Days In an X post, on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain revealed that an Ethereum whale finally capitulated after holding for over 900 days, selling all their 10,000 ETH for $15.71 million. This whale had originally bought 10,000 ETH for $12.95 million at an average price of $1,295 on October 4 and November 14, 2022. Related Reading: Ethereum Pain Is Far From Over: Why A Massive Drop To $1,400 Could Rock The Underperformer The Ethereum whale didn’t sell any of their ETH holdings, even when the leading altcoin broke through $4,000 twice in 2024. However, the whale has now capitulated with the Ethereum price below $1,500, nearing their average entry price of $1,295. The investor sold the coins for a $2.75 million profit, while their unrealized profit was $27.6 million at its peak. This Ethereum whale isn’t the only one who is capitulating. As Bitcoinist reported, ETH whales have dumped over 500,000 coins in the space of 48 hours. This development is thanks to Ethereum’s massive crash, with the leading altcoin at risk of dropping lower. This decline is part of a broader crypto market crash, which has occurred due to Donald Trump’s tariffs. Trump’s tariffs have led to a major trade war with China, which has promised not to back down, further sparking concerns among investors. As such, the Ethereum price looks more likely to suffer a further crash in the meantime, which explains why these Ethereum whales are capitulating to cut their losses. Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial Also Capitulating? Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial (WLFI), an Ethereum whale, looks to be feeling the heat and might have already started capitulating. Citing Arkham Intelligence’s data, Lookonchain revealed that a wallet possibly linked to WLFI sold 5,471 ETH for $8.01 million at the price of $1,465, representing a loss for the whale in question.

Donald Trump’s World Liberty Spends $20 Million On ETH World Liberty Financial had previously bought 67,498 ETH for $210 million at an average price of $3,259. The crypto firm is now sitting on an unrealized loss of $125 million, seeing as the Ethereum price has declined by over 50% since their purchases. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez predicts that the Ethereum price will crash further in the short term, indicating that Ethereum whales like WLFI could witness more unrealized loss on their ETH holdings. Martinez stated that $1,200 could be where the leading altcoin finds its footing. At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $1,400, down over 8% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto analyst Klejdi has indicated that Ethereum’s pain is far from over, with the second-largest crypto by market cap set to suffer a further downtrend. Specifically, he warned that ETH could still drop to as low as $1,400 before it finds a bottom. Ethereum May Still Drop To As Low As $1,400 In a TradingView post, Kledji stated that Ethereum may drop to $1,400, providing a bearish outlook for the altcoin, which has underperformed other top cryptocurrencies. The analyst noted that ETH lost nearly 12% of its value within just three days after breaking out of its recent pattern last Friday. Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Says Bears Will Continue To Dominate Ethereum Price, Here’s For How Long He further mentioned that Ethereum’s movement and the rest of the crypto market are closely tied to Bitcoin. As such, this ETH crash is likely to happen, seeing as the flagship crypto has dropped to $81,300 and is already showing signs of further decline. Klejdi highlighted in his accompanying chart that ETH will likely consolidate near its current level before continuing to move lower. However, the chart showed that the move to this $1,400 target will likely happen this month. In the meantime, the analyst believes it would be wise to wait for Ethereum’s price to form another bearish pattern before entering a trade. He again reaffirmed that there is a strong possibility that ETH may extend its drop to $1,400. Ethereum whales are already capitulating ahead of this projected price crash. Onchain analytics platform Lookonchain revealed an ETH OG that has sold off all its holdings. This investor bought 5,0001 ETH while trading at $277 in 2017 and didn’t sell when the altcoin hit its ATH during the last bull run. The whale started selling last month, possibly giving up on Ethereum making a comeback anytime soon. ETH Will Still Reach New Highs Crypto analyst Virtual Bacon is still confident that Ethereum will reach new highs. He noted that ETH is back at its key bear market breakout zone, retesting the $1,700 and $2,100 range. He predicts that the altcoin will continue to chop around this range in the short term. However, he remarked that Ethereum tends to catch up fast once the US Federal Reserve pivots and global liquidity turns.
