Public Firms' Ether Purchases Impact Market Dynamics

According to Cointelegraph, Ether (ETH) has recently shown signs of being overbought, yet the lack of a significant pullback indicates that bullish investors are not rushing to sell. SharpLink Gaming and BitMine Immersion Technologies have been actively acquiring Ether, aiming to become the largest public holders of the cryptocurrency. BitMine initially claimed the top position with 300,657 ETH, but SharpLink surpassed it following recent acquisitions, increasing its holdings to 360,807 ETH. The ongoing Ether purchases by these public companies raise questions about potential impacts on ETH's price trajectory. On Monday, ETH experienced a decline from $3,860, breaking below the $3,745 support level, which suggests profit-taking by short-term investors. The ETH/USDT pair might drop to the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at $3,494. A rebound from this level would indicate strong demand at lower prices, prompting bulls to attempt pushing the pair towards $4,094. Conversely, if ETH breaks and closes below $3,494, it could further decline to the 50% retracement level at $3,381 and potentially reach the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $3,234. A breach below the 20-day EMA would shift the short-term advantage to the bears, possibly driving the pair down to $2,904. On the 4-hour chart, the 20-EMA has leveled off, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dipped below the midpoint, indicating a balance between supply and demand. Buyers need to push the price above $3,860 to initiate the next phase of the rally towards $4,094. Conversely, a break and close below the 50-SMA would suggest a bearish resurgence, potentially causing the pair to fall to $3,477 and subsequently to $3,361.
