Ethereum Bulls Buy the Dip After Black Monday
Ethereum (ETH) experienced significant buying pressure after the Black Monday sell-off, suggesting it may have bottomed and could be poised for a rally. On Tuesday, ETH was up 2%, indicating renewed investor interest following Monday’s sharp decline.
Ethereum ETF Investors Show Resilience
Despite bearish market conditions, Ethereum ETF investors demonstrated strength. Net inflows for Ethereum ETFs reached $48.73 million on Monday, defying the trend seen in Bitcoin ETFs. Notably, Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) saw its asset losses shrink to $46.8 million, the lowest since ETH ETFs were launched. Other ETFs like BlackRock's ETHA and Fidelity's FETH also recorded significant inflows, showing investor confidence in Ethereum’s long-term potential.
Heavy Buying by Crypto-Native Investors
Crypto-native investors also took advantage of the dip, resulting in a net outflow of 152.4K ETH from exchanges. This is the highest outflow since June 12 and indicates a strong buying pressure. Whale addresses were particularly active, purchasing 144,071 ETH worth over $331.11 million during the crash.
ETH Technical Analysis: Signs of a Rebound
From a technical perspective, Ethereum appears to have found support around the $2,100 price range. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows bearish momentum but also potential for a rebound. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), which fell to a one-year low of 21, suggests that ETH is oversold and could be set for a rally.
