Quick take:

  • Ethereum whales seem unfazed by ETH’s recent drop in the crypto markets

As ETH’s Price Was Falling, 68 New Ethereum Whales Joined the Network

The team at Santiment went further and highlighted that when Ethereum’s price was falling last week, 68 new Ethereum whales joined the network. The said whales now hold between 1,000 ETH to 10,000 ETH. This feat was first observed by Ali Martinez (@satoshilatino) with the team at Santiment chiming in as can be seen in the following tweet.

Why Whales Continue to Accumulate Ethereum (ETH)

As has been noted on numerous occasions, the Ethereum network is still the choice platform for Dapp developers. Evidence of this can be seen through the massive increment of DeFi platforms and Decentralized Exchange despite the Ethereum network sometimes experiencing the highest transaction fees in the entire crypto-verse.

Additionally, investors are very much confident that ETH2.0 will be launched this year despite the constant delays in the past. ETH2.0 will usher in a new era of staking on the Ethereum network. The idea of locking up your ETH for staking rewards combined with the probability of ETH’s value continuing to rise with time makes the idea of accumulating Ethereum right now very ideal.

Further checking the charts, Ethereum seems to have found solid support above $300. At the time of writing, Ethereum is once again attempting to break the $350 resistance level and possibly $365 in the days to follow. If these two levels are broken, Ethereum could retest values above $400.

However, Ethereum’s weekly chart points at exhaustion and ETH could be destined for a drop to around $290 before the year is over.

As with all analyses of Ethereum, traders and investors are advised to use stop losses and low leverage when trading ETH on the various derivatives platforms.
