Summary

ETH price declined on February 20, 2026, as Ethereum whales incurred losses with unrealized profit rates turning negative. Data shows: · Holders of 1,000–10,000 ETH: -0.21; · Holders of 10,000–100,000 ETH: -0.18; · Holders of over 100,000 ETH: -0.08. Further declines in ETH price could trigger forced selling. ETH analysis indicates stability within a key range, as past similar phases have often formed mid-term bottoms.

BlockBeats news, on February 20, CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated, "Ethereum whales are under pressure; this pullback in ETH is affecting all investors. Currently, the unrealized profit margin of Ethereum whales has turned negative:"

· Holding 1,000–10,000 ETH: -0.21

· Holding 10,000–100,000 ETH: -0.18

· Hold 100,000 or more ETH: -0.08

If ETH declines further, these whales may face increased pressure, potentially forcing them to engage in fire sales of their large positions. However, ETH remains stable within a key range for now, and historically, similar periods of pressure have often coincided with the formation of intermediate-term bottoms.
