Bitcoin

Ethereum prices are facing heightened volatility amid market turmoil. The oldest whale moved millions to Coinbase, raising fears of a massive sell-off. This movement has stirred the crypto market, especially after Bitcoin’s sharp decline below $53,500 in early trading. 
At press time, Ethereum was trading at approximately $2,951.71, after reaching a daily low of $2,834, according to CoinStats.

Significant Bitcoin transfers from the Mt. Gox cold wallet and the <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/07/02/german-govt-moves-282-btc-to-kraken-bitstamp-coinbase/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">German government’s</a> address have intensified panic. Traders are on edge, expecting selling pressure from wallets holding vast amounts of BTC and in turn on the overall crypto market. 
Market Indicators Signal Potential Decline 
Despite the declines, Ethereum remains above a key support zone, viewed as the last line of defense before a significant drop. Future markets indicate ETH’s price within a bullish range, with Open Interest (OI), monitoring total open positions in contracts, showing a major flush has yet to occur.&nbsp; 
Recent pullbacks brought ETH close to $2800, yet OI data suggests potential for further decline. The bearish outlook may intensify, risking a break below $2500, which could trigger mass liquidation as derivative contracts close.&nbsp;

The exit of open interest from the Ethereum ETF approval, valued at $3.5 billion, adds to the potential downside risk if prices exceed $2800. 
Struggling to Maintain Support Levels 
Currently, Ethereum battles to reclaim the crucial support zone around $3000 with a daily price dip of 5.28% at press time. A daily close within or above this range might stabilize prices and prompt recovery. However, ongoing market fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) could drive Bitcoin to $52,000, dragging Ethereum below $2700 over the weekend.&nbsp; 
Traders closely watch these levels, as a failure to hold support could lead to further significant losses. 
Ethereum’s market position is precarious, with crucial support levels under threat. The coming days are critical, as market dynamics could either stabilize or further disrupt ETH prices.&nbsp;
