#比特币对比代币化黄金 Dormant Whale Moves: 1,320 ETH Suddenly Transferred—Signal or Noise?
Early this morning, on-chain monitoring picked up an interesting action—a wallet that had been inactive for two years suddenly withdrew 1,320 ETH from an exchange. At current prices, that’s over $10 million. Transferring funds to a cold wallet usually signals confidence in long-term holding. The awakening of this dormant account reveals something about seasoned players’ outlook on the market.
However, on-chain signals are only part of the picture.
On the technical side, ETH’s hourly chart is actually sending mixed signals. While the price is still moving in a bullish rhythm, trading volume is clearly lagging—a classic case of price-volume divergence. If the price keeps pushing higher under these conditions, it’s likely lacking momentum. The market would benefit more from a breather and some consolidation first.
Personally, I don’t think the odds of directly breaking above the previous high at $3,270 are great. The price is more likely to test support levels first. The first key area to watch is around $3,180; if it dips further, see if the $3,060 to $3,100 range can hold as support.
How to trade this? Chasing at current levels is a bit risky. If the price pulls back to around $3,180 and stabilizes, you could try a small position. The safer approach is to wait for it to dip into the $3,060–$3,100 range and scale in gradually. Remember: don’t go all-in—position sizing is always the top priority.
Ultimately, whale moves can be a reference point but shouldn’t be your only basis for decisions. The current technicals are telling you: short-term consolidation is needed. Rather than rushing in, it’s better to wait patiently for a clearer support signal. The market isn’t going anywhere, but your wallet might end up empty if you’re not careful.

Should we really follow just because the whale has awakened? To me, this move looks more like a bull trap. The divergence between volume and price was obvious a while ago.

When a whale makes a move, the whole network goes wild, but then there's a divergence between volume and price on the technical side... This is just absurd.

BEES BTC ETH Buy, buy, buy at such a low market cap. Everyone buy together! Any coin with consensus will rise, even Bitcoin relies on everyone's consensus. The lower the market cap, the bigger the opportunity. Little bees, honey is very sweet and memorable, they're hardworking little bees. Where are the flowers? The little bees will go there. They represent beauty. Everyone agrees to buy, buy, buy, and it will instantly shoot up to 999. The whales are coming soon, so keep buying. In the future, everyone will go wherever life is beautiful.

Should I follow suit just because the whale is selling everything? Come on, it's asking for trouble to keep pushing up when there's such an obvious divergence between volume and price.
