Large investors sitting on unrealized losses are still buying, which is a pattern typically linked to heightened stress and shifting sentiment across the network.<\/p>\n<p>Even with the current pullback, ETH inflows into accumulation addresses have also increased. CW highlighted that Ethereum had previously hit this level in April of last year, but it swiftly recovered before rising again. When the buying power of whales remains intact, this implies that the group has found the current price attractive.
