Whales Move SOL and ETH as Ethereum ETFs Bleed. What Do Crypto Market Data Show?
Redakcja CryptoPulsar ·
On October 10, 2026, most top cryptocurrencies rebound over 24 hours: BTC +0.78%, ETH +1.14%, SOL +1.45%. Weekly declines remain pronounced, and Ethereum sentiment is being cooled by ETF outflows and $5 billion in short positions. In the background, whale activity on SOL, ETH and BNB is clearly visible.
The crypto market is starting to rebound after a down week, but clear tension is visible beneath the surface. Bitcoin is trading at $82,967 and gaining 0.78% in 24 hours, while Ethereum is up 1.14% to $2,505. Still, outflows from Ethereum ETFs continued for a ninth consecutive day and reached $56.1 million, while $5 billion in short positions has built up above the price. Behind the scenes, on-chain activity is buzzing: over 4 hours, a net 6,282 ETH left exchanges, and on Solana 26 whale transfers above 10,000 SOL were recorded in a single hour.

The Market Rebounds, but the Weekly Picture Is Still Red
In the 24-hour view, a rebound is visible in most top assets: BNB is up 1.61%, Solana by 1.45%, XRP by 1.39%, and Zcash by 1.51%. Over 7 days, all the largest tokens except stablecoins are in the red: Ethereum is down 6.44%, Solana 7.99%, XRP 5.77%, and Bitcoin 2.27%.
Total crypto market capitalization stands at 2 902 743 751 148,03 USD, or around 2.90 trillion USD. Based on Bitcoin's market cap of 1.67 trillion USD and the total market, the calculated BTC dominance is 57.44%. Bitcoin remains far from its ATH of 126 080 USD, just as Ethereum remains far from its ATH of 4 946,05 USD.
🔑 Key Takeaways
- Bitcoin rebounds 0.78% to 82 967 USD, but RSI at 31.3 signals near-oversold territory.
- Ethereum gains 1.14% to 2 505 USD, while ETFs posted outflows of 56.1 million USD for a ninth straight day.
- Solana recorded 26 large transfers in an hour, with its price holding at 110.22 USD.
- XRP has an extremely low RSI of 14.6, but MACD and EMA momentum remains bearish.
Ethereum: ETFs Are Bleeding, but ETH Is Flowing Out of Exchanges
According to a BeInCrypto PL report from October 10, 2026, Ethereum ETFs lost 56.1 million USD for a ninth consecutive day. 5 billion USD in ETH short positions has accumulated above the price. This signals pressure from institutional capital and the derivatives market.
CryptoPulsar data, however, shows a second force at play. Over the last 4 hours, a net 6,282 ETH was withdrawn from exchanges, which typically reduces the supply available for immediate sale. Within an hour, 19 large transfers above 500 ETH were recorded. Raw Bitquery data from October 10 included transfers of 666 ETH, 422.67 ETH, and 396.29 ETH.
💡 Worth Knowing
Two opposing signals do not have to be mutually exclusive. ETFs may be returning capital, while some on-chain investors are moving coins off exchanges, betting on reduced supply. In the short term, the ETH market is being played on two fronts: short positions are growing on one side, while exchange supply is falling on the other.
ETH technical indicators do not provide a clear signal. RSI(14) has fallen to 33.1, while MACD and the EMA 9/21 crossover remain bearish. Contract funding is neutral, and the fear and greed index is at 64 points, indicating slight greed. Ethereum's 24-hour price is 2 505,04 USD, with a market cap of 305.92 billion USD.
If large ETH inflows to exchanges continue, supply pressure may increase. On the other hand, the net outflow seen in recent hours may temporarily ease that pressure. However, neither of these signals determines a lasting direction. This is not investment advice.
Solana: 26 Whale Transfers in a Single Hour
On Solana, 26 large transfers above 10,000 SOL were recorded in the last hour. Three of them were worth approximately 94 million USD, 51 million USD, and 25 million USD. SOL's price is 110.22 USD, up 1.45% over 24 hours. 24-hour volume is 1.57 billion USD, and the network processed 4.1 million transactions.
CryptoPulsar's market cycle rates SOL at 34.3/50 points. RSI at 53.5 and a neutral funding rate do not show a strong tilt, but MACD and the EMA 9/21 crossover are slightly bearish. Whale transfers signal activity, but without transfer direction it is unclear whether they represent accumulation or preparation to sell.
BNB and Bitcoin: Large Players Rotate, Momentum Remains Cautious
In the last hour on BNB, 4 large transfers above 300 BNB have appeared, including around 557 BNB, 564 BNB, and 564 BNB. With 24-hour volume around 518 million USD, this looks more like rotation than mass selling. BNB's price is 750.41 USD (+1.61%), and the network.
