Data reveals that over the past three days, the firm has purchased nearly 212,101 ETH worth $574 million through OTC trades. Looking at these substantial purchases, industry giants may be drawn to buying ETH, potentially increasing buying pressure and driving further upside momentum. Despite these substantial purchases, ETH’s price remains unaffected and has witnessed a notable 10% drop in the past 24 hours. Currently, ETH is trading near the $2,423 level and has experienced a 70% surge in trading volume during the same period compared to the previous day.

Based on the current market sentiment and the recent breakdown of a crucial support level, there is a strong possibility that the asset could experience a further price drop of over 10%, reaching the $2,200 mark in the coming days.

Traders Bearish Bet With the bearish price action, traders seem to be betting on the short side, believing that the price won’t rally soon, as reported by the on-chain analytics firm Coinglass. Data from the ETH exchange liquidation map reveals that traders are over-leveraged at $2,355 on the lower side and $2,458 on the upper side. In the past 24 hours, they have built $247 million worth of long positions and $296 million worth of short positions at these over-leveraged levels.
