The Good News for Ethereum (ETH) After Collapse to $1.5K: Details

Even hackers have started to accumulate the world’s largest altcoin after the price massacre.

Ethereum’s controversial history during the time of extreme distress continues, as the asset was among the poorest performers on Friday (and overall since the correction began), dumping to a 14-month low at $1,500.

After the recent FUD spread on X that ConsenSys’ Joseph Lubin might be selling, here’s a portion of good news for Ethereum, including technical tools and who’s buying.

The Technical Setup

The largest altcoin by market cap traded at over $2,400 by mid-May when the entire market seemed in a lot more favorable state, with assets charting multi-month highs. However, the subsequent rejection drove it south hard, which culminated, as mentioned, on Friday.

After this $900 decline, representing a near-40% drop, some technical indicators suggest a bigger rebound is in the making. The first is the TD Sequential, a metric used to determine the underlying asset’s exhaustion in either direction, which has finally flashed a buy signal on a daily chart, according to Ali Martinez.

The second is actually against BTC. ETH has been dipping hard against the market leader, and it dropped to 0.026 during the market-wide crash on Friday. Michaël van de Poppe believes accumulation here could be a “wise strategy,” especially since “yields are likely peaking in the short-term and CLARITY Act vote is around the corner.”

There we go, 0.026 has been reached.

This is the area where I think accumulating $ETH is a wise strategy, especially since:

– Yields are likely peaking in the short-term.
– Clarity Act vote is around the corner.

The latter one is a ‘Sell the rumor, buy the news’ type of event,… https://t.co/wuOprXjwK1

Who Is Buying?

In addition to the technical tools, on-chain data has revealed that different sorts of investors have started to reaccumulate. The first is an Ethereum OG whale who sold at prices above $2,000 but has returned to the buying scene by purchasing $56 million worth of the asset at under $1,570 per token. The second came from a wallet linked to Chun Wang, which accumulated over $28.5 million worth of ETH, according to data from Lookonchain.
