Ethereum’s parabolic uptrend seen in the early part of February ultimately allowed ETH to climb to highs of $290 before it lost its momentum, with the recent turbulence seen by Bitcoin and the aggregated market leading it to plummet into the lower-$200 region. Although ETH has erased nearly all of the gains it incurred throughout the early part of last month, it doesn’t appear that whales are phased, as data shows that the top 100 Ethereum holders are once again beginning to accumulate the cryptocurrency. This signals that these ETH holders are growing increasingly confident that the cryptocurrency is bound to see further upside. Ethereum Whales Begin Accumulating Following Recent Selloff Ethereum’s sharp decline from its yearly highs has done significant damage to its market structure, with bull’s inability to sustain its momentum seemingly elucidating some underlying weakness. In spite of this, the cryptocurrency still has incredibly strong fundamentals, and has been able to remain within the $200 region throughout the market’s recent turbulence. Currently, Ethereum is trading down marginally at its current price of $222, which still marks a tremendous climb from its 2020 lows of $125. It now appears that influential ETH holders are growing confident that the crypto is going to rebound from its recent lows, as data offered by analytics firm Santiment reveals an ongoing pattern of accumulation amongst the top 100 holders. “The top 100 holders of Ethereum are once again beginning to accumulate higher percentages of the total token supply, in spite of the ongoing consolidation that has been occurring for the past couple of weeks,” they explained while referencing the chart seen below.
