The Ethereum price has jumped back above $2,100 despite broader market volatility, driven by aggressive whale accumulation and tightening supply. However, recent updates reveal that whales are now selling their ETH, likely taking profit after prices recovered slightly. The key question now is whether this increased selling pressure could trigger a decline in Ethereum, potentially pushing its price back below $2,000 once again. ETH Faces Heavy Selling From Whales After recording massive accumulations just last week, crypto whales are now back to selling ETH. A new report released on X by on-chain researcher ‘The DataNerd’ revealed that a 2-year-dormant Ethereum whale recently deposited a staggering 15,000 ETH, valued at approximately $30.97 million, to the crypto exchange Coinbase. Based on the size and timing of the transfer, flagged by Arkham Intelligence, the dormant whale may be looking to sell or trade their ETH. Interestingly, the DataNerd disclosed that the whale was an early participant in Ethereum’s initial coin offering (ICO), meaning they bought ETH when the cryptocurrency first launched at an extremely low price. Related Reading: Ethereum Whales Are Making Money Again, But Will They Hold Or Sell? The post also mentioned that the whale used a dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategy to buy 17,400 ETH at an average price of about $11.6 per coin on Poloniex. Despite moving some ETH to Coinbase, the whale still holds 14,800 ETH in their wallet, worth roughly $30.5 million, showing they haven’t sold most of their holdings yet. Another recent large-scale ETH sell-off was identified by blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain on X. According to the report, an “EthereumOG” with the wallet address 0xa2F6 sold 15,002 ETH on March 23, worth approximately $30.97 million. The data showed that the whale had previously received 172,700 ETH for $12.83 per coin a decade ago, valued at $2.2 million at the time. However, based on Ethereum’s price during the transaction, the whale’s holdings have gained by more than 16,082%, reaching a whopping $356 million. How This Selling Pressure Affects The Ethereum Price The recent spikes in whale selling activity could have broader implications for Ethereum’s price. When large ICO whales move their holdings to a crypto exchange, it often signals that they may be preparing to sell. Such large-scale ETH deposits can create significant selling pressure on the market, as other traders closely watching the whale movements may react by selling or adjusting their positions. Related Reading: The 8-Year Ethereum Convergence That Says An Altcoin Season Stronger Than 2021 Is Coming This can trigger a chain reaction, putting short-term downward pressure on Ethereum’s price. The effect is even stronger when the whales involved are bigger and older, significantly increasing price volatility. With ETH trading around $2,100, persistent whale sell-offs could push its price lower, possibly sending it below $2,000. Its price has already fallen by more than 5%over the past seven days, according to CMC data, highlighting its underlying bearish momentum. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin remains locked in a tight range, leaving traders uncertain about its next major move. With strong resistance overhead and key support still holding below, the market is approaching a decisive moment. Whether BTC breaks out into a new rally or slips into another leg down will largely depend on how it reacts around these critical levels. A Slips Below Key Zone: Downside Pressure Builds According to Kamile Uray, Bitcoin is currently trading below the key blue box zone, suggesting that downside pressure may persist in the near term. Despite this, the 4-hour chart is beginning to show early signs of a potential recovery structure, with a small inverse head and shoulders (TOBO) forming. If this pattern activates, it could open the door for a move toward the $75,000 level. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds $70K – Is The High‑Beta Era Over? Beyond that, there is also the possibility of a larger cup and handle formation developing. A successful push toward $75,000 would help shape this structure, but confirmation would only come with a strong close above that level. If achieved, it could signal continuation to the upside, especially if Bitcoin breaks above the $79,354 level, marking the first higher high on the 4-hour timeframe. On the downside, several key support levels, such as $65,666, $62,433, and $60,000, will be closely monitored, as holding above these levels could provide a base for another upward move. However, a daily close below the $62,433–$60,000 range would increase bearish pressure, exposing deeper support levels around $55,230 and $47,256. Looking at the bigger picture, a move toward $98,200 followed by a daily close above it would confirm a higher high on the daily chart, strengthening the case for a continued uptrend. Caution is advised, however, if the price approaches the $107,000–$109,000 zone, where a potential bearish pattern could emerge. Failure to break above the previous high in that region may trigger another downward phase. Bitcoin Stuck In Range As Momentum Stalls Bitcoin is currently trading around $70,413, remaining stuck within the same tight range that has held price action in place for weeks. CyrilXBT pointed out that the $72,000–$76,000 zone continues to act as a strong ceiling, with every rally into that area being met by consistent selling pressure. Related Reading: Bitcoin Stalls As Donald Trump’s Unpredictable Remarks Shake Market Confidence On the downside, the macro trendline near $64,000 has held on two separate occasions, providing the only meaningful support structure preventing a broader bearish shift. Still, confidence in a bullish continuation remains limited until Bitcoin can secure a convincing close above $75,000. With the EMA 200 at around $86,380, still far from being relevant at this stage, the market remains in a wait-and-see phase, with traders watching for a decisive move out of the range.

Bitcoin’s miner supply picture remains tighter than in past cycles, but not tight enough to call it a true supply shock. New data from Axel Adler Jr.’s latest Bitcoin Morning Brief suggests miners still retain a meaningful over-the-counter reserve even as exchange-directed selling pressure stays elevated. Bitcoin Miners Flash Mixed Signal Adler’s core argument rests on two separate but related indicators. One tracks the 30-day moving average of BTC inflows from miners to exchanges, which serves as a direct proxy for realized selling pressure entering the market. The other measures the aggregate BTC balance held on OTC addresses associated with miners, offering a view into how much inventory can still be sold outside public order books. Taken together, the charts point to a market that is absorbing ongoing miner distribution, not one that has suddenly run out of hidden supply. As Adler put it, “For the market this is a mixed signal: the hidden OTC overhang is limited compared to past cycles, but tactical pressure in the market channel has not yet been removed.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds $70K – Is The High‑Beta Era Over? That distinction matters. A low OTC balance can be read as constructive because it implies miners have less sidelined inventory available for large off-exchange deals. But if the coins miners are currently producing are still being routed to exchanges at an elevated pace, immediate market pressure remains intact. The exchange inflow data is central to that argument. According to Adler, miner exchange inflows rose noticeably after Halving #4 relative to the early post-halving period, and the trend accelerated further from autumn 2025 onward. By 2026, the 30DMA remained in what he described as an elevated regime, indicating that “a significant portion of freshly mined supply is still being directed into the market, and current miner pressure cannot be considered removed.” Recent weeks have shown some moderation from the latest highs, but Adler does not view that as decisive. “In recent weeks the chart shows a local pullback from recent peaks,” he wrote. “But against the backdrop of strong growth over recent months, this does not yet look like a confirmed downward reversal – rather a pause within a still-elevated exchange inflow regime. To speak of a real reduction in miner pressure, a more sustained decline of the 30DMA from the current elevated zone is needed, not a short oscillation within it.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Miner Selling Pressure Drops To Near Three-Year Low The OTC side of the picture is more nuanced. Miner-linked OTC balances currently sit around 152.6K BTC, well below the historical peak near 595K BTC in 2018 and only modestly above the series low of roughly 146.9K BTC recorded in July 2025. By long-term standards, that does leave the OTC reserve compressed. Still, Adler explicitly pushes back on the idea that the reserve is effectively gone. “The current level is close to the lower bound of the historical range, but claiming the buffer is ‘almost entirely exhausted’ would be an overstatement: more than 150K BTC is still a significant volume,” he wrote. “In recent months the OTC balance has been oscillating within a relatively narrow range, and in February there was even a noticeable upward spike. This looks more like a regime of low but persisting reserve than a final phase of complete buffer depletion.” That framing is the key to the piece. The report does not argue that miner supply is abundant. It argues that the supply backdrop has become structurally tighter than in earlier cycles without yet crossing into outright scarcity. Miners have “substantially less OTC inventory than in past cycles,” Adler said, but the reserve “has not disappeared.” Instead, it “no longer looks large enough to create the same hidden supply overhang the market could see previously.” At press time, BTC traded at $ Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

A crypto analyst has issued a bold long-term forecast for Bitcoin, predicting that a capital rotation out of gold and into Bitcoin will drive the asset to $800,000. This prediction is coming at a time when gold’s recent decline has caught many financial investors off guard. Biggest Gold To Bitcoin Rotation Is Coming Bitcoin has never lacked bold long-term projections, and over the years, some of the most optimistic forecasts have placed its future price well into six-figure territory and beyond. At different points in the cycle, these expectations have stretched as far as $1.5 million, especially during periods of institutional inflows into Spot Bitcoin ETFs. Related Reading: How Is Bitcoin Price Following A 100-Year Pattern If It’s Only 16 Years Old? Expert Tells All However, that wave of extreme bullish sentiment has cooled in recent weeks, largely due to the cautious tone across the broader crypto market. Even so, that hasn’t stopped a few new high-end Bitcoin price projections from surfacing. A crypto analyst known as DonaX₿τ on the social media platform X recently put forward one of the most aggressive long-term outlooks in recent weeks, with the prediction that the financial markets are on the verge of a historic transition from gold into Bitcoin. “Nobody is ready for the biggest Gold to Bitcoin rotation in history,” the analyst stated on X, adding a price target of $800,000 for Bitcoin. According to the analyst, the Bitcoin price will reach $800,000 sometime between 2029 and 2030. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $71,310, meaning that this price prediction places the target at more than a tenfold increase from the current price range. Why A Rotation From Gold To Bitcoin Is Being Considered Gold recently fell to its lowest level in 2026, reaching a low of $4,098 per ounce on Monday, March 23. This crash is a reversal from its earlier strength in early February, when Bitcoin was going through a simultaneous crash. Related Reading: How Is Bitcoin Price Following A 100-Year Pattern If It’s Only 16 Years Old? Expert Tells All The move has come despite ongoing geopolitical developments, a backdrop that would typically support gold prices. Instead, the precious metal went through one of its most severe short-term declines in recent years. Bitcoin, on the other hand, has not followed gold lower. Although the Bitcoin price recently slipped below $70,000, it is back to trading above it and is now posting gains relative to gold. The premise behind the prediction by DonaX₿τ is based on this changing investor behavior. Gold is known for being a store of value during uncertainty, but recent market dynamics have shown that it is not always the case anymore. Bitcoin is now in the picture and is attracting institutional capital in ways like gold. Therefore, a full rotation from gold into Bitcoin by investors is sure to have an aggressive bullish effect on the price of the leading cryptocurrency. An $800,000 target, however, would require a significant extension of the current cycle and a multi-year accumulation period. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Ripple is being viewed as a key player in the evolving push toward tokenized financial markets, as the New York Stock Exchange advances its plans to bring traditional assets onto blockchain rails. This development signals a broader shift on Wall Street, where traditional infrastructure is beginning to intersect with blockchain-driven innovation, settlement layer, and transition from legacy systems to faster and more transparent digital infrastructure. How Ripple Is Positioned At The Core Of Financial Transformation Wall Street has just surrendered to Ripple, as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) takes a decisive step to launch the tokenized securities era. Crypto analyst Pumpius has revealed on X that the exchange overseeing $30 trillion in market capitalization has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Securitize. Related Reading: Ripple Pushes XRP Global With Multi-Continent Expansion Drive They named it the first official transfer agent allowed to mint blockchain native securities on its upcoming NYSE digital trading platform. However, this infrastructure is being built for all activity to move on-chain. The shift will be bullish for XRP and Ripple because, for years, the firm has long focused on tokenizing real-world assets and building institutional-grade blockchain rails. Within that framework, XRP was built as the neutral bridge asset for value transfer in a tokenized world, facilitating fast, low-cost, and regulatory-friendly transactions that are already battle-tested by banks. While narrative was speculating, Ripple was positioning XRP as the liquidity engine that allows tokenized securities to move across borders and chains without friction. Furthermore, Pumpius argues that adding the NYSE and Securitize will result in the expansion of tokenized equities. Meanwhile, major players such as BlackRock, JPMorgan, and SWIFT continue to explore tokenization and blockchain settlement, and the entire $100 trillion real-world assets market needs a global settlement layer. Here, XRP sits between this shift with On-Demand Liquidity (ODL), RLUSD, and partnerships that have reached the world’s biggest financial institutions. Pumpius emphasized that XRP might be the bridge they will use when the first tokenized Apple or BlackRock ETF settles on-chain and needs instant global rails. Ripple Custody Bridges Traditional Finance And Blockchain The February 2026 report reveals how institutions are actively leveraging Ripple Custody. An analyst known as SMQKE on X noted that Ripple Custody supported DZ Bank in launching a digital custody service for crypto securities in under 10 months, through the deployment of a robust digital asset infrastructure. Related Reading: Ripple’s New Whitepaper Shows What’s Coming For XRP Meanwhile, at the core of these solutions are XRP and Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD.

Meanwhile, Ripple Custody is now used across these jurisdictions, and XRP and RLUSD are allowed to support the entire lifecycle of a tokenized asset.
