Ethereum Price Drop Triggers Active ETH Whale Buying, Reversal Soon?

Ethereum price has dropped over 10% in the past week, slipping below $4,000, but analysts note RSI levels are oversold, hinting at a bottom formation.

Key Notes

  • Ethereum bulls need to hold above $4,000 for a potential ETH price recovery to the upside.
  • Market experts, including Lark Davis and Michael van de Poppe, highlight that historical trends favor a strong Q4 and Q1 for ETH.
  • Despite volatility, Ethereum whales accumulated 431,018 ETH worth $1.73 billion from major exchanges in the past three days.

Over the past week, Ethereum price has corrected another 10.35%, slipping under the crucial support of $4,000. Big market players and ETH whale entities see this correction as an opportunity to accumulate more. Crypto market experts also believe that the ETH bottom formation could be near, and so a reversal to the upside could follow soon.

Ethereum Price Reversal Ahead As RSI Slips Into Oversold Region

Popular crypto analyst Lark Davis recently noted that Ethereum price has fallen 20% over the past two weeks, pushing its Relative Strength Index (RSI) into the most oversold territory since April. The last time ETH reached such levels, it went on to rally 134% within two months.

The second-largest cryptocurrency has bounced from the $3,800–$3,900 range. Davis noted that this is a key support level that ETH price must hold to maintain a bullish outlook. Market watchers suggest that if broader crypto sentiment improves in the fourth quarter, this oversold signal could pave the way for Ethereum to target the $7,000–$8,000 range.

Furthermore, popular crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe stated that September has been a historically weak month for ETH and the crypto market. However, he still expects a good Q4 ahead, followed by a strong Q1 2026. In a message on X, Poppe wrote :

“The markets always have a correction in September / October. Historically, Q4 and Q1 are a great period for altcoins. September is a terrible month, and that’s what we’ve seen with $ETH, it’s down nearly 10%. Q4 is almost always positive, Q1 is the best quarter in the history”.

As of now, ETH is trading at $4,006. Failing to hold this crucial support could trigger a downside further to $3,600. The MVRV price bands indicate that an ETH price drop to $ 2,750 cannot be ruled out.

ETH Whales Accumulate Over $1.7B from Major Exchanges

Blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain reported that large Ethereum whales have accumulated 431,018 ETH, valued at approximately $1.73 billion, over the past three days.

This Week's Market "Surprise": U.S. Treasury Yields and Tech Stocks Rise Together

Nomura strategist Matsuzawa believes that the U.S. stock market's tech rally is more of a technical correction, and the market has not rebuilt confidence in AI investments. Expectations for a Fed rate hike have surged, with the implied probability of a December hike reaching 111%. If dovish officials fail to correct overly hawkish expectations, financing pressures for tech companies will re-emerge, making it difficult for stocks and bonds to rise simultaneously.

Successfully recovered the Starship upper stage, SpaceX debuts “chopstick ship-clamp,” analyst: the most critical step supporting its trillion-dollar valuation

SpaceX has, for the first time, used the launch tower's mechanical arm to catch the Starship spacecraft mid-air, setting a precedent for orbital spacecraft recovery via tower mechanism in aerospace history. Bernstein analysts believe this is a key step supporting SpaceX's multitrillion-dollar valuation—full reusability will significantly reduce orbital costs, directly enhancing Starlink deployment efficiency and raising the commercial ceiling. Morgan Stanley warns that the market is underestimating the value of this mission, as it will significantly lower execution risks tied to commercial reuse and the expansion of AI-powered space computing capacity.
