SEC’s Potential ETF Approval and Whale Investments Boost Ethereum Price

During the recent market downturn, Ethereum formed a new lower high at the $3950 resistance level on the daily chart. The coin buyers failed to surpass the last high indicating an initial shift in market sentiment where traders prefer to sell on bullish bounces.

On June 14th, the coin’s price peaked at $3,887 before experiencing a significant drop of 13.5%, bringing it down to a low of $3,364. This price level coincides with the 100-day EMA, which has now begun to stabilize the declining Ethereum price, aiding its recovery to $3,509. Concurrently, the market capitalization has increased to $431.2 billion.

This surge is likely triggered by SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s recent statement to lawmakers, suggesting that the agency could finalize the approvals for listing and trading spot ETH exchange-traded funds (ETFs) over the summer.

Moreover, in a recent tweet, renowned trader Ali (@ali_charts) highlighted a significant trend in the Ethereum market. According to his analysis, Ethereum whales have made substantial investments over the past three weeks, purchasing more than 700,000 ETH, which amounts to approximately $2.45 billion.

If the broader market correction persists, the ETH price may dive to $3200 and seek support from the long-coming support trendline. As per the past record, the Ethereum coin rebound thrice from dynamic support indicates a high accumulation for investors.

That said, the daily chart indicates a new resistance trendline forming above, suggesting that Ethereum might enter a sideways trading pattern. A breakout above this barrier is needed for buyers to regain control, and bolster a rally to $3900.

 Technical Indicator:

• Exponential Moving Average (EMA): The 100-and-200-day EMAs as dynamic support preventing ETH price from a major correction
• MACD: A bearish crossover between the MACD (blue) and signal (orange) indicates a seller as the key driving force behind the current price movement.
