At the time, ETH&#8217;s price was quite volatile, surging beyond $4,750 only to dump beneath $3,500 during the October 10 market-wide crash.<\/p>\n<p>However, their behaviour has changed in the past week or so, and they are &#8220;finally showing some signs of confidence.&#8221; The analytics platform added that they have added back &#8220;close to 1\/6th&#8221; of the sold-off stash since then and classified it as a &#8220;positive sign for crypto&#8217;s #2 market cap.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tom Lee also weighed in on the October 10 crash, which was primarily driven by excessive leverage used in futures trading. Recall that over $19 billion was <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-crash-sparks-largest-liquidation-in-crypto-history-19b-gone-and-counting\/\">wiped out<\/a>, with more than 1.6 million traders <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/1-6m-traders-liquidated-in-record-cascade-analyst-calls-it-a-perfectly-executed-trade\/\">wrecked<\/a> in less than 24 hours. Lee, who spearheads the largest ETH treasury company and holds nearly $13 billion <span style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px\">in the asset, recently <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoTony__\/status\/1981956042490605902\">noted<\/a> that open interest for BTC and ETH has fallen to historic lows, which could open the door to<\/span>\u00a0a &#8220;crypto rally into the end of the year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"eths-price-meaning\">ETH&#8217;s Price Meaning?<\/h2>\n<p>Large investors, such as sharks, whales, and corporations, buying substantial portions of a certain asset is typically regarded as a bullish development for it because they reduce the immediate selling pressure. The crypto community is also filled with big price predictions for ETH, with the most talked-about targets at $5,000 and $10,000.<\/p>\n<p>While the first seems quite possible for the short-term, given the fact that ether came inches away from it a few months back, the second is a bit far-fetched at the moment. Ali Martinez also outlined it in a recent post and said ETH will eventually hit it, but &#8220;just not as soon as you think.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Ethereum <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ETH&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$ETH<\/a> will hit $10,000&#8230; Just not as soon as you think! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WVkjF8bKdl\">pic.twitter.com\/WVkjF8bKdl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ali (@ali_charts) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ali_charts\/status\/1981873843422544214?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 25, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereum-sharks-and-whales-are-back-what-does-it-mean-for-eths-price\/\">Ethereum Sharks and Whales Are Back: What Does it Mean for ETH&#8217;s Price?<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereum-sharks-and-whales-are-back-what-does-it-mean-for-eths-price\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After dumping over 1.3 million tokens in the span of 11 days, big Ethereum wallets \u2014known as sharks&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5937,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-crypto","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37263","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=37263"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37263\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5937"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=37263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=37263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=37263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
