According to monitoring by HyperInsight, the whale address has been frequently accumulating ETH and BTC, with spot and long positions totaling $6.24 million. Since October, this address has gone long more than 30 times consecutively, accumulating a loss of approximately $6 million, but has seen some profits in the past 7 days.

Since early November, Ethereum (ETH) has rebounded more than 20% after hitting a local low of around $2,620, and as of December 9, it has returned above $3,000. However, both technical patterns and on-chain data are signaling further downside, suggesting that ETH prices may weaken again in the coming months. From a technical perspective, ETH is currently forming a classic inverse cup-and-handle pattern, which typically signals a deeper correction and points to a mid-term target of around $1,500. This pattern began after ETH peaked near $4,100 in August and subsequently declined, breaking below both the 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages, gradually forming a rounded top. Entering the "handle" phase, ETH has been moving within an ascending channel but has repeatedly faced resistance around the $3,150 region, struggling to break through in the short term, with the 50-day moving average also acting as resistance in this range. If ETH breaks below the current lower boundary of the channel around $2,900, it will confirm the continuation of the downtrend, technically validating the $1,500 target of the inverse cup-and-handle pattern. This range also overlaps with a key support area for Ethereum since the beginning of 2024, further amplifying the risk. Unless the price regains the $3,300 to $3,450 range, ETH’s overall trend remains tilted to the downside.

BitMine Immersion Technologies continues to make large purchases of Ethereum, even as market sentiment remains tense and ETF funds keep flowing out. The company, chaired by Tom Lee, has now become the world’s largest corporate holder of Ethereum and has significantly increased its ETH holdings over the past week. According to the latest data, BitMine purchased 138,452 ETH in one week, a 156% increase from the previous period, bringing its total holdings to 3.86 million ETH. This accounts for more than 3.2% of Ethereum’s circulating supply and brings the company two-thirds of the way toward its goal of controlling 5% of ETH’s supply. Since October, ETH prices have dropped nearly 25% in total, but BitMine has persisted in buying, demonstrating a clear long-term bullish stance.

On Monday, US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $60.48 million, indicating a cautious market sentiment ahead of key macro events in December. Although BlackRock's IBIT attracted a single-day net inflow of $28.76 million, it was insufficient to offset the overall outflow of funds. Grayscale's GBTC led with a net outflow of $44.03 million, and Fidelity's FBTC also saw an outflow of $39.44 million, further exacerbating the weak performance of Bitcoin ETFs. In contrast, the fund flows for Ethereum and altcoin ETFs were more noteworthy. Spot Ethereum ETFs saw a single-day net inflow of $35.5 million, with BlackRock's ETHA accounting for $23.7 million, indicating that institutions are accelerating their allocation to ETH assets.

Odaily Planet Daily News: According to the latest crypto weekly report released by Gate Ventures, macro indicators cooling off has led to uneven risk appetite, with the market overall remaining cautious. BTC and ETH are fluctuating within a narrow range, but ETF net outflows continue, and the Fear & Greed Index remains in the "extreme fear" zone. Meanwhile, the market saw an overall rebound of +3.9% on Monday, mainly driven by heightened institutional narratives, including Grayscale filing for a SUI Trust and the official launch of its Chainlink ETF. On the ecosystem front, Aave and CoW launched the first Intent-based flash loan product, further expanding programmable DeFi; Galaxy acquired Alluvial, accelerating institutional-grade liquid staking deployment; Grayscale launched

Odaily Planet Daily News: According to a post by Ethereum community member Joseph Young on X, data from Artemis shows that over the past three months, Ethereum ranked first among public blockchains in terms of stablecoin net inflows, with approximately $12.5 billion worth of stablecoins flowing into the Ethereum network. There is no doubt that ETH is currently dominating the stablecoin market. Note: Solana and Plasma ranked second and third, respectively.

The price of Bitcoin hovered around $90,400 on Tuesday, with the market gradually stabilizing after experiencing its weakest November performance since 2018. Market data shows that over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin edged up 1%, Ethereum rose 0.2%, and other major altcoins saw mixed movements. BNB increased by nearly 1%, XRP dipped slightly, and Solana fell by about 0.6%. Although liquidity remains weak ahead of the Federal Reserve's decision, the overall rebound momentum continues. The latest market time zone data has attracted attention. A Presto Research report points out that the European trading session has been the main driver behind this month's 20% to 25% drop in Bitcoin and Ethereum, with negative returns significantly higher than in other regions. The Asian and US markets have remained largely flat, indicating that during the crypto market's deleveraging process, capital behavior varies noticeably across different regions.

U.S. investment analyst Mike Zaccardi plans to repurchase Ethereum (ETH), believing that technical indicators show the correction is about to end and ETH is performing strongly against Bitcoin.

Negentropic, co-founder of on-chain analytics platform Glassnode, pointed out that ETH is breaking through the 50-day moving average and showing a strong rebound trend, with the bearish window having disappeared. He believes that as global liquidity shifts toward expansion, cryptocurrencies will benefit, and historically, rising hard asset prices have boosted Bitcoin's performance.

Ethereum (ETH) has regained upward momentum after several weeks of consolidation, with its price breaking out of the descending wedge formed from July to late November. Buyers stabilized the price in a key support area, providing a foundation for the technical structure, while significant institutional inflows have boosted market confidence, laying the groundwork for ETH's push toward $4,000. Currently, ETH is trading at around $3,201, with key resistance levels at $3,500 and $3,750. If the price breaks through $3,500 and holds, buyers may continue the rebound; a breakout above $3,750 could see ETH aim for $4,000. Technical indicators show bullish signals: the Parabolic SAR is below the candlesticks, the MACD line is above the signal line with a green histogram, indicating sustained buying pressure, and the price continues to set higher lows, supporting a medium- to long-term upward trend.

The open interest of the two major assets’ perpetual contracts has dropped 40–50% from the highs in October, and retail sentiment has returned to bearish levels. Meanwhile, supply is tightening significantly. In the past two weeks, about 25,000 BTC have been withdrawn from exchanges, and for the first time, ETF and corporate holdings have exceeded exchange balances; ETH exchange reserves have also fallen to a near ten-year low, indicating that while retail investors are exiting, long-term capital is quietly accumulating.
