According to EmberCN, a whale that previously opened longs with 230M USD in capital added a final long on the 26th of last month and has since held roughly 800M USD in ETH long positions without adding or closing for 19 days, indicating strong conviction and risk tolerance (source: EmberCN on X, Jan 14, 2026). According to EmberCN, ETH fell to 2,780 during this holding window, putting the position under significant unrealized drawdown, yet the whale did not exit or add, highlighting potential positioning overhang and patience-driven strategy (source: EmberCN on X, Jan 14, 2026). Based on EmberCN’s report, traders should monitor any whale-led adds or unwinds as catalysts for volatility, watch the 2,780–3,000 area for near-term reaction levels, and align risk management around liquidity shifts tied to large long positioning (source: EmberCN on X, Jan 14, 2026).

According to CrypNuevo, if BTC follows his main scenario, ETH could break below liquidity trendlines to absorb liquidity and potentially sweep recent lows, implying elevated stop-run risk for short-term traders (source: CrypNuevo on X, Dec 26, 2025). He notes that price often dips under these liquidity trendlines before rebounding, signaling a likely volatility expansion in ETH markets (source: CrypNuevo on X, Dec 26, 2025). Traders should prepare for fast wicks and wider spreads around prior lows if BTC moves first, with ETH correlation risk heightened in the near term (source: CrypNuevo on X, Dec 26, 2025).

According to @TATrader_Alan, Ethereum’s monthly chart is closing December with a bullish doji on the 1M timeframe (source: @TATrader_Alan, X post dated Dec 26, 2025). According to Investopedia’s doji definition, a doji signals indecision and requires confirmation, with bullish bias gaining weight if the next candle closes above the doji high (source: Investopedia, Doji Candlestick explainer). According to ThePatternSite by Thomas Bulkowski, confirmation typically means a break and close above the doji high in the next period, while a move below the low invalidates the signal (source: ThePatternSite, Doji analysis by Thomas Bulkowski). According to Investopedia and ThePatternSite, traders can frame ETH trades by watching the monthly close, using a next‑month breakout above the doji high as a trigger and the doji low as risk control (sources: Investopedia; ThePatternSite).
