As Ethereum gas fees surge, it is getting expensive to transact on the Ethereum blockchain. Lower value non-fungible tokens may be hit hard with rising Ethereum gas fees that could eliminate the bottom of the NFT market. $2 billion worth of Ethereum deposited to exchange wallets may belong to whales looking to take profits. Ethereum's climb toward its May all-time high of $4,356.99 is interrupted by the ongoing consolidation. Nearly 600,000 Ether was deposited to Binance, triggering concerns of a sell-off.
Bitcoin whales trim their holdings as fear of “mass sell-off” looms
Analysts note a drop in illiquid supply ratio as dormant Bitcoins move, hold a short-term bearish outlook. Bitcoin balance on exchanges spikes, largest single-day inflow since "Black Thursday," likely to trigger a mass sell-off. Decrease in holdings of whales’ Bitcoin wallet addresses observed, likely meaning whales are waiting to begin accumulating. Historically, an increase in Bitcoin inflows to exchanges – an activity being observed now – comes before a price dip. Analysts fear further consolidation in the asset before it resumes an uptrend.
