Shady Ethereum transfers  

It's unclear who exactly sent these enormous transfers to the exchanges but there is a real chance that someone is going to dump these tokens on the open market. In turn, the biggest altcoin could face intense selling pressure.  

This is not the only time when Ether whales flexed their muscles this month. On Dec. 16, data scientist Alex Svanevik noticed that tens of millions of dollars worth of Ether had been transferred from a pre-sale account that allegedly belongs to an early ICO participant.

A less than stellar year   

With the ETH price is currently sitting at $124, it is currently down by more than seven percent in 2019. Another sell-off would be extremely ugly for the O.G. altcoin, and its holders are in serious danger of seeing double-digit prices for the first time since December 2018. 

However, Ethereum 2.0 might put ETH back in the spotlight. Phase 0 of the much-anticipated upgrade could happen as early as in Q1 2020.
