#以太坊大户持仓变化 I used to overinterpret every major move of on-chain whales until I learned my lesson... One afternoon at the end of 2025, I saw a top-tier address transfer 20,000 ETH to a major exchange in one go, and my first reaction was "a signal of dumping." Without thinking, I cleared my ETH position and started warning wildly in the community.



Then the reality hit — that address wasn’t selling, just arbitraging between different exchanges. Over the next 72 hours, ETH surged by 8%, and I perfectly dodged this wave of the market...

This incident taught me a few lessons: **Transfers don’t equal selling**, they could be exchange rebalancing, staking arrangements, or institutional-level operations; **Timing is ten times more important than the action itself**; **You can’t rely solely on on-chain data for decision-making**.

Speaking of the current market, let’s look at what the data says—

ETH current price is $3,158.20, trading sideways over the past 24 hours, with a volume of $27.05 billion, fluctuating between $3,156.63 and $3,162.40. How about technical indicators? RSI is at 59.99, indicating a neutral to slightly bullish state, not overbought or oversold, which is ideal. The Bollinger Bands are at $3,026, $3,009, and $2,992 for the upper, middle, and lower bands respectively. The TD sequence counts to 5, with no clear buy or sell signals for now.

From a trading perspective, the current price is above the Bollinger middle band, RSI is healthy, so a bullish bias is more appropriate. Short-term key supports are at $3,100 (psychological level) and $3,000 (Bollinger middle band), with resistance at $3,200 and $3,250. If you want to participate, it’s recommended to go light on longs, with a stop-loss below $3,080 for safety. Once breaking through $3,200, consider adding to your position, targeting $3,300.

Interested friends, share in the comments if you’ve also encountered situations of "misreading whale intentions." Let’s avoid the pitfalls together.

Ah, after being fooled by a whale once, I finally realize that on-chain data does not equal true intent. --- Honestly, the psychological level at 3100 is really interesting; the distribution of chips indeed shows support. --- Another "perfect escape" story. I bet this guy will repeat this cycle next time. --- The RSI at 59 is indeed somewhat overbought, but wanting to add to positions after only counting to 5 in the TD sequence? That's classic retail thinking. --- I agree with the logic that transfer = arbitrage, but if you only say it now, the market has probably already reacted. --- Have you noticed? Every time, the analysis is clearest after the fact. Why couldn't we see through it at the time? --- The pattern has formed, but the risk release is still far away. Don't be blinded by 3200. --- The position at the middle band of the Bollinger Bands is indeed worth paying attention to; the level is interesting.

Haha, me too. I chased the whale for a long time and ended up being trapped myself. Stop-loss really saved my life, or I’d still be crying inside the trap now. Breaking 3200 is a hurdle; we’ll see then. Right now, just waiting and waiting, so bored.

Oh man, I understand this so well. Last time I almost got scared by a whale too. Chasing high and getting trapped again, now I have to pause for three seconds whenever I see large transfers. This 3100 support level really needs to be held, or else wait for a breakout before acting.

Data shows that this sideways movement actually conceals an unreasonable mechanism... Wait a bit longer, the historical low hasn't been reached yet.

Haha, I've also been scammed by a whale before. Now I become numb when I see large transfers. If you don't understand on-chain operations, don't guess blindly. This is how I teach myself a lesson. Position 3100 is indeed attractive, but I still stay on the sidelines, afraid of being trapped again. The logic that transferring funds = dumping has long since gone bankrupt. Many people have suffered heavy losses because of this. Your recent analysis still seems reliable, but unfortunately, I have no bullets left. ETH's sideways movement this round is actually eating up chips. Trying a small long position is not a problem. I've been fooled countless times by flashy whale manipulations. Now, I just watch the K-line for signals. Stop loss at 3080. This level is quite solid. Finally, I see some rational analysis. I'm really worried someone will start fabricating stories to hype a certain whale again. The market is already rotten.
