$BTC $XRP $ETH A major Ethereum whale has started de-risking, selling a portion of its ETH holdings and moving funds to exchanges amid ongoing market volatility. On-chain data shows the wallet previously accumulated a large ETH position, but as unrealized gains turned into losses, the whale reduced exposure to manage downside risk.
When large holders trim positions, it often signals caution and can impact short-term market sentiment. These moves highlight how big investors actively adjust their strategies as market conditions change.

I’ve been in crypto long enough to recognize when the market feels familiar but behaves differently. This cycle is exactly that. On the surface, it looks like every other post-bear-market recovery. Underneath, the structure has quietly changed.
And that’s why so many people are getting chopped up.
In previous cycles, momentum was simple. Liquidity came in waves, Bitcoin ran first, Ethereum followed, and altcoins exploded in a predictable cascade. You could be late and still make money. That luxury is gone.
This market is tighter, more selective, and far more data-driven.
Liquidity Is No Longer “Free”
One of the biggest mistakes I see is people assuming liquidity will naturally rotate into everything. It won’t. Liquidity today is conditional. It flows toward narratives that already show traction and ignores everything else.
You can see this clearly in how price reacts to news. Announcements that would have sent tokens flying in 2021 barely move charts now unless there’s real usage behind them. That’s not bearish. It’s a sign the market matured.
Capital is cautious. It wants proof.
Narratives Still Matter, But Timing Matters More
Narratives haven’t disappeared. They’ve become compressed.
Instead of multi-month hype cycles, we now see sharp rotations. AI, modular infrastructure, real-world assets, and payment-focused chains all get attention, but only briefly. Miss the window and you’re holding a great story with zero follow-through.
This is where patience beats activity. Sitting in cash is no longer a failure. It’s positioning.
Onchain Data Changed the Game
Retail traders used to rely on influencers and price action alone. Now, onchain metrics quietly front-run everything. Wallet behavior, transaction growth, and fee generation tell you what’s actually happening long before social media notices.
When price goes sideways but onchain activity rises, that’s accumulation. When price pumps with flat usage, that’s exit liquidity. The market leaves breadcrumbs. You just have to stop staring only at the chart.
Risk Is Back, But It’s Smarter Risk
Another shift I’ve noticed is how downside plays out. Crashes are sharper but shorter. Weak hands exit fast, strong hands absorb supply, and price stabilizes quicker than expected.
That doesn’t mean blind buying is safe. It means risk management matters more than conviction. Wide stop losses and oversized positions are a fast way out of this market.
The Biggest Edge Right Now
The real edge isn’t speed. It’s selectivity.
Instead of asking, “What’s the next 10x?”, the better question is, “What survives if the market chops sideways for six more months?” Projects, traders, and strategies that can handle boredom usually win when momentum returns.
That’s not exciting advice. It’s effective advice.
Final Thought
This cycle is rewarding people who think like analysts, not gamblers. The market still pays, but it demands preparation, patience, and a willingness to be early and quiet.
If you’re feeling frustrated, that’s normal. Most people are positioned wrong for this phase.
The good news is that phases change. The people who adapt before they’re forced to are the ones who benefit when the next expansion starts.
Sometimes the smartest move in crypto is doing less and observing more.

While most traders panic during volatility, one familiar wallet is doing the exact opposite—quietly, confidently, and without hesitation.
Just eight hours ago, the Infini exploiter stepped in and bought 6,316 $ETH using $13.32M DAI, at an average price of around $2,109. No noise, no drama.
Then came the next move. As if it were routine, he bundled all 15,470 ETH—worth roughly $32.6M—and sent it straight into Tornado Cash.
What makes this stand out isn’t just the size. It’s the consistency.
This isn’t his first perfectly timed play. Back in February 2025, he exited with $49.5M USDC and used it to buy 17,696 ETH at $2,798. Months later, by July, funds were already moving through Tornado again, with ETH being offloaded above $3,300.
By August, the execution was even cleaner—selling near $4,200, almost as if the market was moving on his schedule.
Fast forward to now. $ETH is back near local lows. Sentiment is shaky. Fear is everywhere.
And once again, he’s buying—calmly, confidently, like this price level was always part of the plan.
Maybe it’s luck. Maybe it’s experience. But timing like this no longer feels accidental.
It feels practiced—and honestly, a little unsettling how effortless it looks.

Ethereum did not produce a major new all-time high in 2025, there is no need for a major bear market.

A bear market is a long-term correction, the market seeking balance.

Extraordinary growth can lead to an extraordinary bear market. Poor or lackluster growth can lead to a poor, weak or short-lived bear market.

Ethereum can behave in unexpected ways in 2026 in comparison to the rest of the market and specially Bitcoin.

Bitcoin behaved in unexpected ways in 2024 and 2025. Growth in 2024 was beyond normal while in 2025 it was below expectations. Market price dynamics changed wildly. In 2026, similar things can happen.

This Ethereum chart shows a long-term double-top; August 2025 vs November 2021. It also shows long-term higher lows; February 2026 vs April 2025 vs November 2022 vs June 2022. The lowest point came June 2022 with each succeeding low being higher than the previous one.

This chart here is tricky, it can be read in different ways. I will give you the bullish scenario only because...

Ethereum long-term

ETHUSDT weekly found support at EMA377, the same level that worked as support back in April 2025.

Last week, a wick pierced below this level but the session closed above it, much higher. So EMA377 has been confirmed as a long-term support.

When this same event happened back in April 2025, a strong bullish period followed.

The only reason to expect lower right now is due to past conditioning and/or preconceived ideas as to how the market should behave. If we go by the data, anything is possible and a bearish continuation is not mandatory, not on ETH.

It is possible that the bearish cycle is over for ETHUSDT, based on the data coming from this chart. Something similar I saw on SOLUSDT.

Remember, the market continues to grow and evolve which in turn produces strong variations on how each cycle unfolds.

Last week Ether produced the highest bearish volume session in more than three years. This is normally read as a bearish signal calling for lower prices long-term, but there is a problem. This same signal showed up in November 2022, the highest bearish volume ever on a weekly session, yet, this wasn't followed by lower prices, instead, it signaled the start of a bullish phase.

This is just one exchange. Others exchanges are not showing the highest volume ever, just a normal bearish week with either high, standard or even low volume. This is to say that the volume signal here can be taken as a reversal signal.

I looked at Trading View's ETHUSD index and the volume bar last week, early February 2026, was much lower compared to November and June 2022. This is big, we are going with the reversal scenario for this signal as this is what the data calls for. Not based on my own bias but rather the natural choice coming from a logical, left brain, analytical mind, no feelings involved. True scientific thinking.

Now, I am only interpreting the data coming from the chart; when it comes to price action and what actually happens, anything goes.

It is likely that Ethereum already hit bottom, and from this bottom we grow.

We are going higher next.

Namaste.
