Forecast Trend Report by Period

Trend Research, which drew attention in the past for large-scale purchases of Ethereum (ETH), has recently been moving to unwind positions amid the market downturn.

According to Lookonchain on the 1st (local time), Trend Research deposited 10,000 ETH (worth about $24.34 million) to Binance about an hour earlier. Large transfers to exchanges are generally interpreted as positioning that anticipates potential selling.

Trend Research previously bought a total of 651,310 ETH, deploying about $1.56 billion, and this transaction is therefore being taken by the market as a so-called 'capitulation (capitulation-selling)' signal.

With Ethereum prices continuing to trend weakly, such moves by mid- to large-sized investors could add to near-term supply-and-demand pressure, some observers say. Still, analysts note it remains to be seen whether this will translate into actual selling or amount only to a partial liquidity adjustment, and that further on-chain flows should be monitored.
