Ethereum’s robust momentum hit a roadblock on December 29, 2023, as the cryptocurrency, following an impressive rally, experienced a setback with losses extending into Friday. The surge on Thursday drove Ethereum’s price above the significant $2,445 threshold, marking a noteworthy achievement. However, this upward momentum was short-lived, with the crypto slipping to around $2,350.

The downturn is attributed to substantial whale transfers, indicating a move by these large holders to secure profits from the recent price surge. Over the last 24 hours, whales have unloaded more than $136 million worth of ETH across various crypto exchanges.
