September 16th. On-chain data analyst Murphy stated that since September 11th, almost all on-chain hodler groups have been in a "neutral state," neither experiencing rapid distribution nor significant accumulation. During the period from 8/29 to 9/9, the whale group holding 1,000 to 10,000 BTC still maintained a certain degree of accumulation, but now the pace is gradually slowing down. This neutral behavior also indicates that the current market sentiment is caught between optimism and anxiety, with more investors remaining cautious and observant. In history, many market turning points have seen similar data. By considering the behavior of whale groups in January and April of this year, it is suggested to assess the subsequent trend of the crypto market.

September 16th: Citibank has put forth its most recent forecast. Under a neutral assumption, it is expected that ETH will decline to $4300 by the end of the year, which is a slight retraction from the present price of $4515. Citi also offered range forecasts. In a bull market situation, it may rise to $6400. In a bear market situation, it could fall to $2200. Citi analysts stated that network activity remains a crucial driver of Ethereum's value. However, most of the recent growth has originated from layer-two networks, with only approximately 30% being transmitted to the main network. This has led to the current price being higher than the level predicted by activity-based models. (CoinDesk)
