A recognized author at the CryptoQuant on-chain platform, IT Tech, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/IT_Tech_PL\/status\/1884648966463099097\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">emphasized<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the downward trend, indicating a deficiency in substantial whale activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This trend suggests that affluent individuals and institutional investors are remaining apprehensive as significant ETH transfers continue to be low. With the decline in large transactions, ETH may encounter considerable challenges, as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/13-mega-whales-holding-over-10000-ethereum-join-the-network-in-24-hours-major-accumulation-signal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">whale involvement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> conventionally drives price increases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IT Tech perceives Ethereum\u2019s significant transactions to be minimal compared to previous cycles such as 2017 and 2021, where these transfers were widespread. This indicates that the market is increasingly driven by retail participation and is more organic than speculative frenzy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there have been minor upticks in whale involvement, the expert pointed out that they are not at levels that would suggest an imminent sell-off or a parabolic surge. Meanwhile, IT Tech advises <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-adoption-new-addresses-largest-spike-27\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">investors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to monitor unexpected surges in whale activity as such events typically precede significant price fluctuations.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_382792\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-382792\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-382792\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ETH large transfers remain low | Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/IT_Tech_PL\/status\/1884648966463099097\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">IT Tech on X<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the expert, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-funding-rates-resume-uptrend\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ethereum<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is witnessing a gradual upward momentum. However, the next significant alteration in market dynamics will be contingent upon whale movements. Currently, the altcoin has reclaimed the $3,000 threshold as prices recover following a general market downturn, setting the next critical resistance level at $3,500.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To confirm a breakthrough over the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-continues-to-struggle-beneath-3500-q1-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$3,500 threshold<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, IT Tech asserts that there must be an uptick in large transaction volume. If ETH does not see an increase in these transactions, it may enter a consolidation phase or experience a significant pullback.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IT Tech anticipates a pullback toward the $2,800 and $2,500 range if large transactions coincide with price weakness, potentially leading to whale distribution and causing ETH to decline. With this subdued activity, ETH\u2019s stability is coming under scrutiny, prompting uncertainty regarding its next significant price movement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is ETH\u2019s Upward Trend Expecting Volatility?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ETH is trading between $3,000 and $3,200 with slight bullish momentum.
