I recently came across a startling set of data — a leading institution transferred 108.4 million USD worth of ETH to an exchange, totaling 36,579 ETH. The market was abuzz, with all kinds of voices emerging: Is this a signal of a major sell-off?

Actually, there's no need to be overly nervous. Think carefully, why would they "show their hand" at the ETH rebound to the 2950 level? This move seems more like a psychological test. Once retail investors panic and sell off, institutions can scoop up assets at lower prices — it's an old trick.

From a technical perspective, the 1-hour chart looks impressive, but the trading volume has clearly shrunk, like a car running on high gear without fuel — it will stall sooner or later. The key resistance levels are at 2980 and 3070, while support is at 2900 and 2800, with 2800 being a lifeline.

How to respond? This isn't a reversal signal; rather, it's a trap. Experienced traders can consider positioning around 3030, but must strictly control their positions. Beginners should not rush to buy the dip or chase highs; wait patiently for two clear signals: either a volume breakout above 3030 or a decisive break below 2800.

Interestingly, when big whales stir up the market, stablecoins like USDD, which are over-collateralized, offer an alternative route. Backed by real assets like BTC, TRX, and other on-chain transparent reserves, combined with algorithmic automatic adjustment mechanisms, they can respond more flexibly to market fluctuations. In this environment of spreading uncertainty, the value of such hedging tools is increasingly evident.
