<p>Ethereum continues to face increasing pressure in the market after a whale sold 10,000 ETH on April 8. The sale, valued at $15.7 million, has intensified concerns about Ethereum’s short-term price direction and investor sentiment.</p> 
<p>The cryptocurrency has now breached key support zones, including a long-held ascending trendline and significant horizontal levels. ETH is trading near $1,465, and technical analysts have highlighted $1,475 as a critical support level.</p>

<p>Should Ethereum close below this support on the daily chart, analysts foresee a potential 30 percent price correction. This could result in ETH dropping closer to the $1,000 region if the bearish momentum continues this week.</p> 
<p>Ethereum’s fall below the 200-day Exponential Moving Average on the daily timeframe further confirms the bearish sentiment. This technical signal reflects persistent selling activity and suggests dominance by bearish traders across major exchanges.</p>

<h2 id="strong-large-whale-exit-deepens-selling-pressure-as-market-sentiment-weakens-strong"><strong>Large Whale Exit Deepens Selling Pressure as Market Sentiment Weakens</strong></h2> 
<p>The whale responsible for the recent ETH sale had accumulated the holdings between October and November of 2022. According to Lookonchain, he <a href="https://x.com/lookonchain/status/1909604196787405078" target="_blank" rel="noopener">purchased</a> ETH at an average price of $1,292 and sold for $1,571 each.</p> 
<p>The investor earned $2.75 million but failed to capture the potential $27.6 million peak gain from his ETH sale. The information was disclosed on April 8 via a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.</p> 
<p>This sell-off appears to have triggered a wave of concern among market participants already affected by the declining trend. Trading activity for Ethereum reached a 65% decline across the previous day.</p> 
<p>The investigation indicates market participants delay their trading decisions due to worldwide market conditions. The US major trade dispute with several nations maintains market uncertainty throughout all investment elements.</p> 
<p>A further decline in ETH’s price may follow if the asset fails to hold the $1,450 level. Traders are watching closely as the price action unfolds and market volatility increases into the new week.</p> 
<h2 id="strong-conclusion-strong"><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2> 
<p>Ethereum is under pressure as technical indicators weaken and large investors exit their positions. The coming days could prove critical if bearish momentum persists and trading activity continues to decline.</p>
