In addition, Justin Sun has initiated the unstaking of 96,580 ETH (valued at $322.7 million) from platforms such as Lido Finance and EtherFi. Analysts suggest these assets are likely intended for further deposits to HTX, indicating continued activity and liquidity management by the crypto magnate.

Where Is ETH Price Heading Next?
As we bid adieu to 2024, Ethereum and the broader crypto market have witnessed some selling pressure. ETH bulls have failed to take past the price above the crucial resistance of $3,500 opening the gates for an ETH price drop under $3,000, all the way to its next support of $2,800. As shown in the chart below, Ethereum could be forming an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern wherein it will take a support of $2,800 before reversing the trajectory.
Amid the latest move from Justin Sun’s exchange, popular analyst Charting Guy expects the ETH price to rally all the way to $7,080 by April 2025. Thus, a major rally for Ethereum could kickstart in the first quarter of 2025. Popular crypto analyst Crypto Rover expects the Ethereum rally to start from January 1, 2025, citing the peak of Bitcoin dominance based on historical trends.
As of press time, Ethereum price is trading 1.38% down at $3,340 with a market cap of $402 billion. As per the Coinglass data, the 24-hour liquidations have soared to $38.3 million with $27.52 million in long liquidations.
