π³ Will the whales determine the trajectory of the ether?
Whale activity has a decisive influence on the behavior of bitcoin and altcoins.
Ali Martinez provides interesting data on the correlation of the movement of addresses with a balance of 1 million to 10 million ETH with the price of ETH in the period from January 20 β after the first BTC and alt run in 2023.
At first, Ethereum whales switched to a wait-and-see strategy. They were inactive, and now these addresses have entered the game and can have a huge impact on the course of the ether.
Today, ETH is trading around $1,566, and its capitalization this week decreased to $191.641 billion. Against the background of increased pressure on the market of risky assets, altcoin sank below $ 1,600.
But if the whales start swimming and buying at the bottom, the ether may return to the support level, the analyst believes.
