ETH Stands Strong Above Fibonacci Support
Amid the pre-halving consolidation in the crypto market, the Ethereum price prevented its correction below the $2875 level. This horizontal level aligned with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level created suitable support for buyers to regain trend control.
This healthy retracement amid the Bitcoin halving uplifted the ETH price to a high of $3198. An analysis of the 4-hour chart shows this upswing as the formation of a double bottom pattern— a technical setup often located at the downtrend bottom and potential for higher rally.
Moreover, On-chain data provided by Lookonchain reveals a noteworthy Ethereum whale transaction. Recently, 10,119 ETH were withdrawn from Binance, marking yet another substantial move by this investor, who has amassed 127,388 ETH since April 8, equivalent to roughly $405.19 million.
