The market has reacted to the whale wallet’s moves with mixed reactions. Having been an early ICO investor, traders question his motives, considering BlackRock has bought 11,000 ETH worth over $20 million in the same period.

BlackRock has been growing its Ethereum fund while other institutions like Trump’s World Liberty Financial believe in Ethereum’s rebound following a historical dip in Q1, 2025. So, does this early investor lack confidence in ETH’s bounce-back while institutional buying starts? Traders are closely watching ETH’s price at the $ 1800-1850 resistance zone to understand its next moves.

Read Time:1 Minute, 2 Second

Ethereum’s monthly Relative Strength Index(RSI) has dropped to its most oversold ever, and whales are accumulating the dip. So, are ETH bulls rallying soon?

 

Ethereum has seen its price drop significantly as of Q1 2025. Despite other altcoins rallying after the trade war freeze, the king of altcoins saw a price exhaustion in a recovery attempt. As of this writing, ETH is trading at $1583 per CoinMarketCap data.

Looking at Ethereum’s 8-hour chart, the coin has been consolidating inside a descending channel pattern in Q1, 2025.

With the price dropping to a 2-year low, ETH’s Relative Strength Index(RSI) has dropped to 40. This suggests that the coin is oversold, leaving the price in trenches. The bulls have stepped in as Ethereum’s momentum and MACD(12,26) flash “buy”.

According to CryptoGoos on X (formerly Twitter):

 

WHALES HAVE BOUGHT OVER 200,000 $ETH IN THE LAST 3 DAYS. THEY’RE BUYING THE DIP!

 

With potential whale accumulation in the dip, ETH can break above the $1650 key resistance zone on its descending channel pattern. A confirmed breakout could see ETH rallying to $2800 in the next few weeks.

What are Layer 2s? All about Ethereum Blockchain Scaling

1 0
Read Time:58 Second

Ethereum Layer 2s have reduced transaction costs while accelerating network speed. This is significant in boosting the adoption of blockchain technology.

 

Bitcoin pioneered the use of blockchain technology in modern life. However, transaction speed and costs became a huge barrier to integrating the coin in daily transactions as the number of blocks increased. Later, Ethereum came to extend the utility of blockchain technology beyond just payments.

 

With many projects happening on the Ethereum blockchain, high gas fees and slow transaction speed have also become a challenge. The concept of Layer 2s was born to solve this. Layer 2s are side blockchains that handle bulk transaction “rough work” off the main Ethereum blockchain. They submit final results to the Ethereum blockchain, thus reducing the pressure it could have faced doing all the work alone.

 

So, what are the trends in layer 2s?

Layer 2s like Optimism, Arbitrum, and zkSync use diverse technologies to speed up transactions and optimize costs. They help Ethereum be faster and secure while boosting its usage and adoption. As of today, many DeFi, NFTs, and gaming developers are building on top of Ethereum for optimal performance.

Solana and Ethereum networks account for 57% of the total trading volume from the top 10 decentralized exchanges (DEXs) in the market. In the past 24 hours, Solana has seen its DEX trading volume steadily rise, pulling ahead of Ethereum to lead the DEX pack.

According to data shared by Crypto Rand on CoinMarketCap, Solana’s 24-hour DEX volume hit $2.774 billion while Ethereum rallied behind holding 2.744 billion.

Why is Solana’s price and DEX volume surging?

Solana’s fast transaction speed and lower gas fees could be enticing for traders following a week of market frustration fueled by the global trade war. Users are likely hunting for cheaper and quicker alternatives to Ethereum-based DEXs, for instance, Jupiter and Raydium.

Despite lagging behind Solana in the past 24 hours, Ethereum remains unshakable as a DEX powerhouse in the market.
