Ether “hidden” by institutions

The December 4th events are believed to be for a variety of reasons, but IntoTheBlock may be find out Cause for ether alone.

Before Ether closed at $ 4,124, Ether fell almost to $ 3,470 that day due to the huge drop in price. The last time such large trading volumes were observed was right before Ether price fell 7.73% in November.

In addition, Ether’s transaction volume and liquidity also increase as more addresses join the network. Looking at the average balances, which haven’t seen a major decline since September, it’s clear that investors will continue to grow.

For now, the bearish momentum appears to be easing as the divergence and convergence of the Moving Average (MACD) on the uptrend will make a bullish crossover above the signal line.
