An unknown crypto investor known for well-timed Ethereum trades has recently increased their foothold in this popular digital currency. Lookonchain, an on-chain data platform, reports that the investor, colloquially termed a ‘whale,’ has acquired an additional $5.53 million worth of ETH on Binance amidst the unstable market conditions. This purchase comes on the heels of another acquisition just last week, wherein the whale used $18 million worth of USDC, a stablecoin, to buy ETH at an attractive price point of approximately $1,971.
According to the LookonChain data, the pattern of these large-scale purchases suggests that the investor is expecting an ETH breakout beyond its resistance level which is presently set at $2,100. This move, if it materializes, could potentially signal a refreshed bull market. Despite recent increases in ETH, the $2,100 threshold holds significant influence in the trading community. This level was only surpassed once previously, that was in late July and early November of 2023. Although the prices continue to trend upwards, they remain below the liquidation point, or the price at which a trader’s account balance would be insufficient to maintain all open positions. Despite this, the aforementioned whale seems to be wagering on a significant upside.
On another note, despite the recent regulatory issues surrounding Binance, the whale investor seems unperturbed. The recent news surrounding Binance involves a hefty fine of over $4 billion levied by the U.S. Department of Justice due to regulatory violations. These penalties initially caused a momentary dip in cryptocurrency prices, but the markets quickly returned to normalcy. As a result, ETH prices also recovered by roughly 5%, floating near the pivotal $2,100 mark. Observers now await to see if the whale investor’s prediction turns out to be accurate. In the midst of this, BNB coin (the native currency of the BNB Chain and employed to stimulate trading on Binance) remains under pressure.
