Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, has revealed that he sold 80-90% of his 
Ethereum holdings near the $3,600-$4,000 price range. The decision was based on his analysis of a fragile double-top pattern, which he believed signaled an impending price correction.
According to multiple outlets, Sun did not repurchase the Ethereum he sold, although he maintained a smaller core position in ETH. He also retained his 
Bitcoin holdings. Following the sale, Sun rotated a significant portion of the capital into U.S. stocks, with a particular focus on Nvidia and Nasdaq-100 exposure.
The disclosure was made during an interview with William Joy, as reported by CaptainAltcoin. This strategic shift highlights Sun's cautious approach to crypto markets and his willingness to diversify into traditional equities amid market uncertainty.
Ethereum's price has since dropped to $2,421.32, indicating that Sun's timing was advantageous. The broader crypto market remains relatively flat, with a total market cap of $2.81 trillion and a Fear & Greed index of 53, indicating a neutral sentiment.
This development underscores the ongoing trend of major crypto investors diversifying their portfolios in response to market volatility. Investors will be watching to see if Sun's move influences similar decisions by other high-profile figures in the crypto space.
