The market just showed signs of a rebound, but a big news hit: Ethereum whale "nemorino.eth" couldn't withstand the pressure and sold 5,000 ETH at the $3,087 level, losing over $1.8 million. This whale's move has caused chaos in the market. The current question is: is this a signal of a big drop ahead, or are the main players shaking out weak hands to create a low-entry opportunity?
Let's first look at the logic behind this sell-off. It's not just a simple stop-loss; it's a classic "buy high, sell low" trap. On November 6, this trader jumped in at $3,452. After 12 days with no movement, as the price declined, they finally couldn't withstand the volatility and decided to exit. In short: even whales can get caught, and retail investors blindly chasing highs are more likely to become the next victims.
The current market situation is a bit delicate—technical indicators are showing an upward trend, but the news is full of negative signals. The MACD has a bullish crossover below the zero line, resembling a car that slipped into a ditch and is now trying to reverse uphill, but a full turnaround is still far away. Both bulls and bears are fighting fiercely now, with no clear advantage.
Pay close attention to the technical details: the resistance level at $3,260 is recent, and breaking through it depends on whether trading volume can support the move. Further up, the $3,350 level is a tougher line of defense. The key support levels are crucial—$3,000 is the watershed for direction, with $2,850 as the last bastion. If the rebound lacks volume, it will be a false alarm, and the market will have to return to the starting point.
From a medium-term perspective, bulls still have a chance, but short-term volatility depends entirely on how these key levels perform. A rise without volume support is just a paper tiger; a real breakout must be confirmed by increased trading volume.

Even the whales can't hold on, and we're retail investors still trying to buy the dip. We really deserve to be cut off.

Even the whales can't handle it, so retail investors need to play it more cautiously.

Even the whales are crashing, what are we retail investors playing at... Let's wait until the volume picks up before talking.

Even the whales are crashing, which shows that no one can guarantee victory right now...
