According to @EmberCN, a whale/institution with a cumulative $96.67M in ETH swing-trade profits sold 10,000 ETH at $3,321 ahead of the morning decline, realizing approximately $1.51M in profit (source: @EmberCN on X, Jan 19, 2026). The exit occurred around 5:00 a.m., and ETH fell to roughly $3,200 by 7–8 a.m. the same morning, indicating precise timing of the sell relative to the intraday drop (source: @EmberCN on X, Jan 19, 2026). The 10,000 ETH position is linked to activity 11 days earlier when the entity first opened BTC long positions via contracts, as flagged by the tracker (source: @EmberCN on X, Jan 19, 2026).

According to @ai_9684xtpa, a major Ethereum whale who previously profited $1.47 million by buying low and selling high over 19 days, panic sold 2,767 ETH (worth $6.86 million) during a market downturn 8 hours ago, incurring a loss of $233,000. The whale's sale nearly hit the lowest point of the dip, missing out on a potential $21 per ETH rebound and reducing cumulative swing trading profits to $1.237 million. This event highlights the risks of emotional trading and its impact on short-term ETH price volatility, signaling potential liquidation triggers and increased market sensitivity for traders monitoring whale activity.
