- FTX and Alameda Research liquidators recently deposited 2,500 ETH into Coinbase.
- The ETH deposit coincided with the recent crash in the price of Ethereum.
- FTX liquidators are consistently targeting significant deposits ahead of notable price declines.
The foremost crypto analytics platform, Spot On Chain, has indicated that FTX and Alameda Research liquidators recently deposited 2,500 ETH, equivalent to about $8.56 million, into Coinbase. According to Spot On Chain, the entity made the significant deposit at about $3,426, shortly before the recent ETH price slump.
Following the development, the analytics platform noted that FTX and Alameda Research liquidators have a knack for choosing their exit points. The platform used historical data to show that the group seems to time their liquidation to near-perfection by executing the transactions before a price crash.
Spot On Chain showed that since March 1, FTX and Alameda deposited 15,850 ETH worth $58 million into centralized exchanges (CEX) at approximately $3,659. The platform also revealed that dramatic price changes tended to follow immediately after each deposit.
Meanwhile, the group made the latest deposit as Ethereum retested a recent swing low at $3,413. The price broke through the established support, initiating a drop that pushed ETH further down within a few hours. The flagship altcoin printed a bearish candle on the daily chart, reflecting a decline of over 11%.
Ethereum dropped to $3,087 from the liquidators’ deposit price of $3,426, retesting a support level established on March 20. The price bounced off the support, attempting a rebound yet to be confirmed as of the time of writing, pushing ETH to trade for $3,253, according to data from TradingView.
With the recent drop, Ethereum returned to the base of a horizontal range established after the flagship crypto pulled back from a dominant rally in 2024. ETH dropped from a $4,095 yearly high after rallying nearly 90%. The pullback signified a 25% drop as the bulls and bears battle for supremacy ahead of the anticipated altcoin season.
