While the bigger cryptocurrency market is falling Ethereums big player activity is telling a story.
The cryptocurrency market has been going through a time but not every asset is showing the same signs. Ethereum has quietly become a focus for big investors who are making smart moves while regular people are panicking and selling.
As Ethereums price went down to $1,900–$2,000 people who weren't hands started selling fast. The selling was because of automatic stop losses and margin calls and partly because of emotional reactions to losses in other altcoins.. Instead of adding to the selling pressure big holders bought more. The amount of Ethereum held by players went from around 8 million to over 24 million and the total value of their holdings went past $70 billion. That's not panic. That's confidence.
Whats interesting is that big players are buying at prices. Early buyers got in at around $2,600. As they kept buying at lower prices their average cost went down. That's a sign of buying, not just random accumulation. It shows they're patient and patience usually means something big is about to happen.
The altcoin market looks very different. Over the 13 months people have sold a lot of altcoins, around $180–$210 billion. Many tokens lost 40–90% of their value. When Bitcoins price dropped 19% in February people got scared and stopped taking risks. The number of open futures contracts went down from $61 billion to $49 billion with people getting out of positions fast in thinner markets.
By February most altcoins on Binance were trading below their 50-week average. That's a big breakdown. The Federal Reserves hawkish signals, rising tensions and new tokens being issued made it a tough environment for assets. Bitcoins dominance went up to 58% as people moved their money into assets. Ethereum, being an cheap asset became a natural destination, for that money.
The main point is that big players are buying and reducing the supply of Ethereum, which's a good sign. It could mean a new cycle is starting.. With big problems still out there and altcoin markets still fragile the support is still weak. Ethereum looks good for now. Whether it stays that way depends on what happens in the bigger economy.
