On September 11th, Ethereum’s value dipped to the $1,530 support level, but recent data suggests positive signs for the cryptocurrency. Notably, a significant whale has actively participated in the Ethereum options market, investing $150 million in notional ETH calls.
Within the last hour, over 40,000 ETH block calls were executed, with many choosing the 29DEC23-2200-C options. Additionally, nearly 50,000 ETH calls for 27OCT23-2000-C were purchased the previous night, totaling 92,600 ETH in call options trading. All of these were naked buys, indicating bullish long-term expectations.
While Ethereum’s price has been trading around $1,600 and facing challenges to break past $1,650, underlying factors like ETH derivatives and network activity are being closely monitored. Factors such as a decrease in Ethereum’s overall supply and a notable increase in staked ETH suggest the potential for positive price movement.
