According to on-chain data revealed by Lookonchain, <strong>Vitalik Buterin<\/strong> sold 1,869 ETH over the past 48 hours, pocketing approximately <strong>$3.67 million<\/strong>. This transaction isn&#8217;t isolated: it&#8217;s part of a series of massive sales orchestrated by the founder throughout February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">vitalik.eth(<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VitalikButerin?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@VitalikButerin<\/a>) is selling <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ETH&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$ETH<\/a> faster again.<br><br>In the past 2 days, he has sold 1,869 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ETH&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$ETH<\/a>($3.67M).

This constant selling pressure weighs heavily on investor sentiment, while <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/ethereum\/\">Ethereum<\/a><strong> (ETH)<\/strong> displays disappointing performance. Currently trading around <strong>$1,875<\/strong> (down more than 5% over the last 24 hours), the asset seems unable to regain its bullish momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the exact reasons for these sales remain unclear (project funding, diversification, or simple profit-taking), the psychological impact is undeniable. When a guiding figure like Buterin sells massively during a <strong>bearish trend<\/strong>, the market often interprets this as a signal of weakness, accelerating panic selling movements among retail holders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"technical-analysis-can-the-1800-support-hold\">Technical Analysis: Can the $1,800 Support Hold?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From a technical perspective, <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/learn\/crypto\/ethereum\/\">Ethereum&#8217;s<\/a> situation is precarious. The break of the psychological level of <strong>$2,000<\/strong> has opened the door to bearish acceleration. The price now trades below its key moving averages, confirming a short-term <strong>bearish<\/strong> trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next critical level to watch is the support zone located between <strong>$1,800 and $1,825<\/strong>. If buyers (bulls) fail to defend this fortress, the decline could intensify. Momentum indicators, like the RSI (Relative Strength Index), are approaching the oversold zone, which could suggest a potential technical bounce, but selling pressure remains dominant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To restart bullish momentum, ETH must reintegrate its range and transform <strong>$1,892<\/strong> into support. To invalidate the current bearish scenario, ETH will need to imperatively reconquer this level and close a daily candle above it, ideally with sustained buying volume to confirm the breakout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"scenarios-will-ethereum-bounce-or-capitulate\">Scenarios: Will Ethereum Bounce or Capitulate?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bullish-scenario-the-bear-trap\">Bullish Scenario: The Bear Trap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If Ethereum manages to stabilize its price around <strong>$1,850<\/strong> and form a reversal structure (like a double bottom), we could witness a technical bounce. A return of buying volumes could propel ETH toward the <strong>$2,000<\/strong> resistance. A clean break of this level would rekindle interest in targeting <strong>$2,150<\/strong> in the short term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"751\" src=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/02\/ETHUSD_2026-02-23_08-37-58-1024x751-1.jpg\" alt=\"Ethereum price chart with RSI indicator\" class=\"wp-image-26815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/02\/ETHUSD_2026-02-23_08-37-58-1024x751-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/02\/ETHUSD_2026-02-23_08-37-58-1024x751-1-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/02\/ETHUSD_2026-02-23_08-37-58-1024x751-1-768x563.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bearish-scenario-the-fall-into-the-abyss\">Bearish Scenario: The Fall into the Abyss<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the dreaded scenario. If the <strong>$1,800<\/strong> support gives way under pressure from Vitalik&#8217;s sales and the global market, ETH could enter a capitulation phase. The next technical target would then be around the <strong>$1,600<\/strong> zone, a level that hasn&#8217;t been tested for several months and corresponds to a major bullish trendline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"should-you-buy-the-fear-or-wait-for-stabilization\">Should You Buy the Fear or Wait for Stabilization?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Movements by &#8220;whales&#8221; like Vitalik Buterin are often leading indicators, but they don&#8217;t always dictate the long-term trend. With RSI in oversold territory and major support nearby, the risk\/reward ratio could become interesting for contrarian investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, caution is warranted. As long as the price doesn&#8217;t show clear signs of reversal above <strong>$1,900<\/strong>, the trend remains firmly in the hands of sellers. Patience will be required, as even a bounce to <strong>$2,150<\/strong> doesn&#8217;t invalidate the long-term bearish trend. This is even a zone closely watched by traders to place shorts and take their profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+z-a5LKRM7HxkNWZk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Roro Crypto &#8211; Get free trades on our private group!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related Articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/solana-price-prediction\/\">Will Solana crash another 95%?
