Bitmine Immersion, the largest Ethereum treasury company, quietly added another 23,823 ETH to its total Ethereum holdings. This comes as ETH price dropped to $4,273 amid massive profit booking due to macro jitters, especially as Jerome Powell’s speech offered no Fed rate cut cues.

While most are watching price charts turning red, Bitmine is moving differently and quietly stacking more ETH. Earlier, Tom Lee predicted $4,300 as a crucial level to watch.

ETH price extended its fall and slipped 3% in the past 24 hours, with the price currently trading at $4,342. The 24-hour low and high are $4,273 and $4,411, respectively. Furthermore, trading volume has increased by 2% in the last 24 hours, indicating a lack of interest among traders.

The derivatives market showed selling in the last few hours, as per CoinGlass data. At the time of writing, the total ETH futures open interest dropped 0.20% to $59.43 in the last 4 hours.

The 24-hour ETH futures OI increased more than 1.20%, but it was down 2.70% on CME and other top crypto exchanges such as Binance and OKX.

Analyst Ted Pillows pointed out that Ethereum could show some recovery after it rebounded from the $4,250 support level. If ETH fails to hold this level, a correction towards the $4,000 level is expected.
