Is Ethereum Price In A Bear Trap?

Peter Brandt, last week, said Ethereum is a “junk coin” and Bitcoin pretender, but agreed that it will always attract investors. In the latest post on X, veteran trader Peter Brandt indicated Ethereum price could be in a “bear trap”.

A bear trap is a false technical indication of a reversal and the possibility of Ethereum price in a bear trap is higher than a reversal due to bull market and positive sentiment. ETH price has dipped new 35-month low, with dominance falling below 16%. The reason is Solana’s unstoppable rally and upcoming Bitcoin halving.

“There are enough HUGE whales invested in ETH that it will be difficult for the price to depreciate very much,” said Peter Brandt.

Spot On Chain signaled heavy buying of ETH by whales. For instance, two whales spent a total of $35.11 million in stablecoins to buy 10,322 ETH, causing a recovery in price. The trading activity is also high after ETHBTC is at record low level.

IntoTheBlock revealed on-chain activity to pick up radically and reaching highs of 32 million transactions per week as L2 gas costs dropped significantly after the Dencun upgrade.
