Analysis reveals that prior to the approval of the Ethereum [ETH] ETF, a specific whale address made bold moves by acquiring more ETH at a specific price.

As a result, this address has garnered significant unrealized profits. Furthermore, deeper analysis indicates a similar pattern among other whale addresses before the ETF approval.

Whale Accumulates Ethereum and Ecosystem Tokens

An analysis by Lookonchain unveils that a specific whale wallet anticipated the approval of the Ethereum spot ETF and made substantial ETH purchases.

Data indicates that the whale acquired 8,733 ETH at approximately $3,054.56, totaling around $26.67 million. Consequently, the whale currently holds approximately $6 million in unrealized profits. Following the approval of the Form 19b-4 by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the whale proceeded to acquire other tokens within the Ethereum ecosystem, amounting to $24.7 million.

Among these tokens is Lido DAO token [LDO], representing the platform with the highest amount of ETH staked. The unrealized profits of these ecosystem tokens in the wallet amount to approximately $1 million.

As of the time of writing, Ethereum is trading around $3,790, reflecting a more than 1% increase. Daily timeframe chart analysis shows efforts to maintain the $3,700 price level since its rise to that level.

The current trend indicates Ethereum’s efforts to establish the $3,600 range as support. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests Ethereum is slightly below the overbought territory. This implies a potential strong uptrend but also suggests the possibility of a price decrease, even amidst another potential price increase.
