Ethereum Whale Transactions Halved: The price of ether (ETH) has risen 4.4% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading at $3,350. Amidst a general upturn in the cryptocurrency market, the second-largest cryptocurrency saw a remarkable 13% rise in value over the previous week. With $12.7 billion in daily trading volume, Ethereum’s market valuation is $400 billion. Sentiment reports a 56% decline, from 11,115 to 4,827 unique daily transactions, on the last day of whale transactions involving at least $100,000 worth of ETH.
The asset’s price has risen thanks to tiny investors, and there’s almost no chance of whale market manipulation, as shown by the diminishing whale activity. However, according to data from the market intelligence platform, the total open interest in Ethereum has steadily increased over the previous week, jumping from $6.04 billion on July 8 to $6.97 billion at the time of reporting.
Due to increasing liquidations, excessive price volatility is typically accompanied by heightened open interest. According to Coinglass data, as the price of Ethereum increased, there was a total of $24 million in ETH liquidations, with $5 million from long positions and over $19 million from short positions. According to data from Santiment, Ethereum’s RSI is currently near the 50 level, indicating that the asset is in ideal condition for a future price spike. The ETH Relative Strength Index (RSI) has steadily risen since July 7.
