<h2 id="h-ethereum-au-bord-d-un-tournant-crucial-le-support-a-2-300-peut-il-resister">Ethereum on the edge of a crucial turning point: can the support at $2,300 hold?</h2>
<p>According to crypto analyst Ali Martinez, the <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-markets/ethereum-eth-en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum price</a> is dangerously approaching the $2,300 level. This is a <strong>key support identified</strong> by several other cryptography experts. According to Martinez, this threshold is crucial for the short-term survival of ETH.</p>

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
 <p><em>“If the price of Ethereum falls below $2,300, we could see a massive 30% correction, bringing ETH down to $1,600.”</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>This <a href="https://twitter.com/ali_charts/status/1843449731634344106" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">warning</a> is based on the fact that 2.77 million addresses collectively hold 52.65 million ETH around this price level. Two scenarios may unfold:</p>
<ul>
 <li><strong>If the bulls fail to defend this area, it could mark the start of an even more pronounced bearish phase.</strong></li>
 <li><strong>If, on the other hand, the support holds, Ethereum could bounce back and reach a price of $6,000 in the medium term.</strong></li>
</ul>

<h2 id="h-les-ventes-massives-des-baleines-pesent-lourdement-sur-le-prix-de-l-ethereum">Massive whale sales heavily weigh on Ethereum’s price</h2>
<p>The price of Ethereum is also affected by the continuous sales of whales. For example, over the last 15 days, a <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/an-ico-whale-sells-47-million-in-eth-and-causes-a-crash-in-the-crypto-market/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">historical whale from the ICO era</a> has <strong>deposited 45,000 ETH on Kraken</strong>. This represents around $113.3 million. According to Spotonchain data, this whale initially received 150,000 ETH during Ethereum’s ICO.</p>
<p>Recently, <strong>a transfer of 5,000 ETH</strong> was also made to a crypto exchange. This increases the bearish pressure on the market.</p>
<p>Analysts estimate that the <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/ethereum-in-crisis-crypto-whales-liquidate-151-million-in-24h/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">continuous sale</a> of ETH whales weakens the bulls’ ability to maintain the crucial support at $2,300. This constant pressure could <strong>accelerate Ethereum’s fall</strong>, especially if market sentiment does not change quickly.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/10-years-of-crypto-innovations-heres-how-buterin-sees-the-future-of-ethereum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">future</a> of Ethereum thus remains uncertain. Crypto investors will need to be attentive to market movements in the coming days.</p>
