Ether plummets down to less than $3,400 to $3,331 with whales acquiring $1.37 billion in ETH, which is an indication of strategic purchasing despite the weak market.

Ether collapsed 3.3% to $3,331, with major support crashing on November 7, 2025. This was a major technical failure that triggered alarm among traders due to the break below the price zone of 3,400. 

Nonetheless, on-chain data showed an unexpected opposite phenomenon: large holders or whales accumulated almost 395,000 ETH, which is worth 1.37 billion dollars, considering the moment of the dip as a good entry point instead of indicative of the further downturn.​

Volume increased by 145 percent above average during the breakdown, and the sell-off wiped out recent gains as bearish momentum arrived with a roar.  This increase in trading activity was driven by institutional-sized trading rather than by retail panic, showing heavy selling pressure at crucial price points. 

Nevertheless, whales accumulated aggressively between $3,247 and $3,515, signaling long-term trust in the growth prospects of Ether.​

Stunning Whale Activity Counterbalances Sell-Off

The piling up by whales upset normal bearish stories. Statistics indicated that such big investors were using the chance to accumulate Ethereum at lower prices, a move that indicated that they were betting that the prices would climb back to their former position. 

The biggest whale, having a history associated with Aave, bought 257,543 ETH alone, which is about $896 million, at an average cost of about 3,480. 

Other participants also entered the purchasing frenzy, such as new wallets and institutional traders, during the market correction.​

This deviation between the decrease in price and accumulation by whales creates speculation on the possibility of a near-term Ether price bottom. 

The technical structure was damaged by lower highs and resistance at $3,415, but the whale buying indicates that the market is making ready to start a possible recovery.​

Network Resilience Amid Price Volatility

Simple indicators highlight the healthy activity of Ethereum in spite of price fluctuations. There was an all-time high with Ethereum network throughput of 24,192 transactions per second, demonstrating sustained resilience.

However, the number of active addresses dropped by 24 percent since mid-August, indicating that user activity decreased slightly during the downturn.​

The market will be eyeing Ether to ensure that the next support level is kept near 3,247 in the future.

A fall below $3,200 could result in further losses, and an upward trend of more than 3,480 could be applied to reverse the recent negative market trend.

The concentration of the whales preconditions a possible stabilization or recovery phase of the prices after the recent technical backflush.​
