— Santiment (@santimentfeed) April 4, 2023ETH sharks have been busy since last summer, Santiment analysts pointed out on Tuesday as ETH/USD crossed back above $1,870 for the first time since trading lower in August 2022.
Indeed, after losing support at $1,835 on 17 August, Ethereum prices dropped more than 15% in two days to touch lows of $1,603. A 40%+ dump after the FTX debacle had seen ETH prices fall to lows of $1,071 in November (TradingView data on crypto exchange Bitstamp).
On-chain data shared by Glassnode also shows more buying pressure from small holders. On 5 April, the number of addresses holding 0.01+ coins hit an all-time high of 23,558,464.

Ethereum is poised for a bullish breakout in the short term if the buyers breach the supply wall expected around $2,000. The daily RSI is not overextended yet even as it trends towards the overbought territory.
According to pseudonymous crypto trader and analyst HornHairs, ETH/USD only has one higher time frame resistance before “thin air” – suggesting a major breakout ahead of the highly anticipated Shanghai upgrade.
The analyst also says ETH/BTC looks strong.
