Why Ethereum Top Whales Are Accumulating ETH In ‘Abnormal’ Way

Following FTX’s demise, Ethereum and the whole cryptocurrency industry in general experienced one of its most challenging periods. Because of this, the value of ETH, a significant alternative currency, has plummeted by over 36% in the last week. Bearish emotion may be pervading over the cryptocurrency market, but the second most popular cryptocurrency is now trading almost sideways. But @sanr king, a contributor to Santiment’s insights, has been thinking about this pricing stability. One should view his observation of a heavy influence from whales in the market with caution, as this is often a precursor to a more severe bear market. Now, what does the ETH chart reveal?

ETH Prognosis: Dark Clouds Ahead According to @sanr king, the present market model cannot account for the whales’ “abnormal” accumulation period. This is risky since it suggests the coin is fairly priced in relation to the market as a whole. To recapture bullish momentum, ETH will need the market to correct its overvaluation, which is currently a tall order given the current bearish trend. After losing 6.4% over the past week, ETH’s price is establishing a double bottom in front of the previous price movements. This bearish formation occurs following a retreat, which transpired in the $1,214 price range in this instance. The latest price movement is barely above the 23.60 Fibonacci retracement line. A breach below this Fibonacci level would confirm a bearish break and bolster the market’s existing bearish momentum. The fact that investors are more ready to HODL than sell, reflecting a high level of investor confidence in the present market direction, does not help matters. Which in this instance is a decline. ETH Bears Take The Driver Seat The current position is unlikely to improve in the near future, as a decline is more likely to occur than a rebound. Even though RSI values are rising over the long haul, the CMF value of -0.18 indicates a complete bear market takeover. As the scenario worsens in the next days and weeks, the crypto sector will endure a great deal more of suffering. ETH will soon lose its footing at $1,200 and could fall to the $1,100 range.

Binance Coin Shows Weakness As Price Sits On Key Support; Is $200 Possible?

 BNB’s price fails to hold amidst market turmoil as the price falls back to its key support zone with a range-bound movement.  BNB’s price continues to show strength after a bearish downtrend with the market’s current state, as things look uncertain for most traders and investors.  BNB’s price continues to hold $270 on the daily timeframes as the price aims for a bounce above the 50 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) The price of Binance Coin (BNB) has been a standout performer in recent weeks rallying from a low of $280 to a high of $390 before facing rejection due to the current market state that has affected most crypto projects. The crypto market has seen some drastic shift in sentiment, with Binance Coin (BNB) and the price of other altcoins battling for survival after the news broke that Binance would not be taking over FTX and the company had gone bankrupt. Previous months saw the price of most altcoins trend higher as many produced gains of over 200%, with many hoping for more recovery bounce. Still, these expectations were cut short by the uncertainty surrounding the crypto market, leading to much fear about where the market is headed.

The current market uncertainty has caused traders and investors to be hesitant to purchase altcoins, as there is no guarantee that they will rise in value any time soon. The news of other exchanges being in the mix of the FTX saga has raised more fears as many investors and traders shy away from investing in some projects, including the price of BNB suffering some major prices as it lost its support of $300. BNB’s price declined to a weekly low of $260 before bouncing off this region, showing some great strength to a region of $275 as the price aims to break higher. The price of BNB needs to flip the region of $300 for BNB price to trend higher and regain its bullish structure.  Weekly resistance for the price of BNB – $300. Weekly support for the price of BNB – $200. Price Analysis Of BNB On The Daily (1D) Chart The price of BNB remains considerably strong in the daily timeframe as the price trades above $270 support after bouncing off from the region of $260. If the price of BNB breaks above $300, we could see more rallies for BNB price; a break below a region of $270-260 would lead to more sell-offs for BNB with a possibility of price trending to a region of $200.   Daily resistance for the BNB price – $300. Daily support for the BNB price – $270-$260. Related Reading: FBI Plans To Extradite FTX Bankman-Fried From Bahamas As Contagion Spills To Genesis?

Bitcoin 7-Day Volatility Comes Alive As FTX Collapse Shakes Market

Data shows the Bitcoin 7-day volatility has come alive during the last week as the collapse of crypto exchange FTX has shaken up the market. Bitcoin 7-Day Volatility Has Spiked To Values Above 7% According to the latest weekly report from Arcane Research, the current 7-day volatility levels are the second highest seen in this year. The “volatility” is an indicator that keeps track of the average daily returns in the price of Bitcoin over a specific period of time. While this timespan can be of any length, the “7-day” and “30-day” versions of the metric are the most natural. A notable feature of the volatility indicator is that it only measures returns using the closing prices on each day. This implies that any intraday market movements aren’t accounted for by the metric, so as long as the price returns to the norm by the end of the day. Related Reading: This Indicator Hints US Investors Sold Bitcoin Harder Than Others During Crash When the volatility has a high value, it means the price of the crypto has fluctuated a lot recently. On the other hand, low values suggest the BTC market has been displaying stale activity. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin 7-day and 30-day volatilities over the past year: Looks like the values of the metrics have spiked up in recent days | Source: Arcane Research’s Ahead of the Curve – November 15 As you can see in the above graph, both the 7-day and 30-day versions of the Bitcoin volatility have observed a sharp increase recently. Before this rise, the indicator had very low values for a month or so, with the 7-day version especially reaching historical lows of 1%.

The 7-day volatility has surged above the 7% mark, reaching levels only behind the yearly high of June, when 3AC went bankrupt. Historically, Bitcoin has become calmer following big spikes in the volatility like the one being observed right now. However, the report notes that the current market environment is filled with contagion-related uncertainty and abnormal positioning in derivatives, so the market will likely continue to be volatile in the coming days. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price floats around $16.7k, down 5% in the last week. Over the past month, the crypto has lost 12% in value. The below chart shows the trend in BTC’s price over the last five days.
