Ethereum is currently in the process of sliding lower following a rejection in the mid-$750 region seen last night.<\/p>\n
The selling pressure here was quite significant, and Bitcoin\u2019s rejection around $29,000 created an additional headwind for the cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n
Although its price action has been somewhat lackluster over the past few days, there\u2019s still a strong possibility that upside is imminent for ETH, as so-called \u201csmart money\u201d appears to be accumulating it at a rapid pace.<\/p>\n
At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading down just over 3% at its current price of $730. This marks a notable decline from its recent highs of $755 that were set yesterday evening.<\/p>\n
These highs came about in tandem with Bitcoin\u2019s surge up to $29,000, but the rejection here was grave and caused the entire market to drift lower.<\/p>\n
Where ETH trends in the mid-term will undoubtedly depend largely on whether or not BTC and the rest of the market can rebound and slow its descent.<\/p>\n
One analytics platform explained in a recent tweet that the number of Ethereum wallets holding over 10,000 Ethereum has been on the rise over the past two months, pointing to an ongoing accumulation trend.<\/p>\n
This accumulation has not had any serious impacts on its price action but may be emblematic of a growing trend.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWith ETH crossing $750 for the first time in 31 months, we’ve discovered that there are 39 more Ethereum addresses holding 10,000+ ETH compared to just 2 months ago. Meanwhile, the amount of addresses holding 1-10,000 ETH have shrunk over this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
