Ethereum Updates Today: Major Whale Invests $9.96M—Aggressive Leverage Signals Anticipation of Market Recovery
- Ethereum whale "Smart Money" added $9.96M in ETH (25x leverage), boosting its long position to $62.35M amid market uncertainty. - High-profile trader "Buddy" rebalanced its portfolio, trimming HYPE exposure while increasing ETH longs with $890K unrealized gains. - Market analysis highlights Ethereum's critical $41–$42 support level and growing institutional involvement via SEC filings and large ETH orders. - Whale activity and leveraged trading strategies underscore market fragility, with unrealized gain

The whale’s activity highlights a broader pattern of concentrated risk in leveraged trades. While some, like Buddy, are spreading risk across various altcoins, others are doubling down on Ethereum.

Still, the recent drop from the whale’s previous $8.61 million unrealized profit underscores the vulnerability of high-leverage strategies in a choppy market.
As uncertainty persists in the crypto space, the moves of these large players are likely to shape short-term price trends. At present, the mix of portfolio adjustments, leveraged positions, and institutional moves points to a market filled with both potential and risk. Traders should pay close attention to liquidation levels and liquidity shifts, especially as Ethereum approaches key support areas.
