Despite Ethereum trading below the critical $2,000 mark, large holders continue to display confidence in the asset’s future performance. On-chain data revealed that a major whale, identified as wallet 0x2d59, withdrew 40,000 ETH, equivalent to about $76.6 million, from Binance in two separate transactions. The withdrawals included one move of 30,000 ETH followed by another of 10,000 ETH, making it one of the largest exchange outflows recorded that day.
Major withdrawals from centralized exchanges like Binance are often interpreted as a sign that investors prefer holding their assets rather than selling them on the open market. Such outflows can also suggest that significant players may be preparing to deploy their assets in decentralized finance protocols instead of liquidating.
The timing of these movements stands out. Ethereum’s current market price hovers around $1,930, putting it in close proximity to its 100-day exponential moving average, a technical indicator closely watched by traders.
Mini dictionary: Whale, a term used for individuals or entities that hold large amounts of cryptocurrency, capable of potentially moving markets with sizable transactions.
Wallet 0x2d59 moved over $76.6 million in ETH from Binance, underscoring ongoing confidence among large Ethereum investors as price tests crucial resistance levels.
After recovering from a notable correction in June, Ethereum has formed a pattern of higher lows and has repeatedly tested resistance at the 100-day EMA. The asset is currently trading above both the 20-day EMA at $1,850 and the 50-day EMA at $1,760, highlighting positive momentum in both short and medium term timeframes.
Several resistance points lie ahead for Ethereum. The immediate target for buyers is the 100-day EMA. A sustained move above $1,930 could set the stage for a retest of the psychological $2,000 level. Beyond this, the 200-day EMA at $2,175 represents the next major technical barrier before a potential longer-term rally.

The relative strength index (RSI) is near 58, reflecting bullish momentum while remaining below the overbought zone.
Large withdrawals into new wallets signal that big players may be accumulating ETH, decreasing the amount of supply available on exchanges in the short term. While not every single large transaction results in price surges, consistent whale accumulation is often associated with periods of strong interest among major investors.
Ethereum remains just below a crucial technical resistance. Coupled with the significant outflow from Binance and the positive structure in recent trading, these factors may indicate that major holders are positioning for an upward move. If Ethereum decisively clears the 100-day EMA, the upcoming test of the $2,000 level could arrive soon.
Multiple indicators, including increased whale accumulation and improving technicals, point to a heightened likelihood of Ethereum retesting the $2,000 area in the near future.
