Last night, an anomaly appeared on the blockchain—an Ethereum ICO address that had been dormant for 8 years suddenly woke up, transferring a total of 143,000 ETH (approximately $3.2 billion) in one go. This large transaction immediately startled the market. Historically, the previous two similar whale sell-offs triggered declines of over 40%, and the market has now sounded the alarm.
Triple risk outbreak: The Federal Reserve's probability of a rate cut in January is only 13%, ETF net outflows over the past five days reached $530 million, and ETH price has already broken below the critical support level of $2,800.
Technical defense levels are gradually lowering: · First line of defense at $2,800 → Breached · Critical level at $2,100 → 2.1 million buy orders accumulated · Extreme bottom at $1,800 → The predicted critical point by institutions
The current response plan is quite straightforward: 1. Clear ETH leveraged positions 2. Keep spot holdings below 15% 3. Tentatively allocate 10% at $2,000 4. Gradually buy the bottom at $1,800
In the long term, there is a chance to return to $8,500 by 2026, but for now, survival is the priority.

8 years of silence, now transferring 3.2 billion. Is history about to repeat itself?

Here we go again, I'm tired of hearing this explanation... The first two times, they said a 40% drop, but what happened? It just rebounded, who are they trying to scare?

Here we go again, with these alarmist stories. Does an 8-year silence necessarily mean a crash? When prices are being pushed up, why does no one say that whales are optimistic? This double standard is just too obvious.

Haven't moved in 8 years, and now suddenly investing so much all at once—what does that say... I'm a bit panicked.

ngl the whole "whale dumps = 40% crash" historical precedent thing is giving correlation-causation fallacy energy. empirically speaking, have we actually controlled for macro conditions? the data suggests these 2017-era addresses moving coins might just be rebalancing, not capitulation 🤓

Coming back with this again? Every time you say it will drop to 1800, I just laugh. If it were really going to crash that low, it would have already crashed long ago.

It has only moved once in 8 years, this time it's definitely going to crash, you can even smell the blood in the air.
