While Ethereum has experienced some rebound in the last day gaining by 3.21%, investors remain uncertain of a full price recovery with bearish sentiments raving through the market. Notably, an Ethereum ICO participant has now sold off a substantial amount of ETH intensifying concerns of a prolonged downward trend.\n<\/p>\n

Ethereum ICO Wallet Continues Selling Spree, Offloads 40,000 ETH In Two Weeks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to data from blockchain analytics firm<\/a>, Lookonchain, an Ethereum wallet with the address \u201c0xBF4\u201d moved 6,000 ETH worth $14.11 million to the Kraken exchange on Friday. So far, the address has been identified as an early Ethereum investor who acquired 150,000 ETH valued at $368 million in the asset\u2019s initial coin offering (ICO) in 2014.<\/p>\n

Data from Lookonchain highlights this is the second ETH sale by \u201c0xBF4\u201d in the last week after the ICO participant initially sold 19,000 ETH, valued at $47.54 million over Wednesday and Thursday. Notably, this ETH whale has transferred<\/a> out 40,000 ETH worth $101 million since September 22, holding a balance of 99,500 ETH valued at $238 million.<\/p>\n

Generally, massive token offloads by large holders e.g. whales are interpreted as bearish signals as they indicate a lack of confidence in the asset\u2019s long-term profitability. Sales such as those seen from \u201c0xBF4\u201d may trigger a panic selling from smaller investors inducing a stronger downward pressure on Ethereum\u2019s price.<\/p>\n

Aside from the wallet address \u201c0xBF4\u201d, other investors have recently sold off large amounts of ETH. According to analyst Ali Martinez<\/a>, 108,000 ETH valued at $259.2 million have been transferred to exchanges in the last day. This massive sale activity indicates a heightened sentiment in the ETH market.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Currently, Ethereum trades at $2,399 following its recent price rally. However, its daily trading volume has declined by 17.48% and is valued at $14.61 billion. If bearish sentiments persist, ETH could retrace to around $2,200 at which lies its next significant price level. However, amidst massive selling pressure, the altcoin could trade as low as $1,600.<\/p>\n

With a market cap of $291.40 billion, Ethereum continues to rank as the second largest cryptocurrency, with a market dominance of 13.47%.<\/p>\n
